Stopped here for brunch and would come back for drinks if I were in the area. Service was great, location was ideal and decor was adorable. Not cheesy Christmas decorations at all. It's very festive and has a ton of TVs to watch the game. Food was good, but not mind blowing. My bf and I both ordered the full Irish breakfast. Very filling and I love how the spread had different items. read more

While on travel for work, stopped in this location as it was conveniently located. There is outside seating but look up a holes in the covering....plus might not be ideal for any claustrophobic. A small group, Michael was our waiter. The food was fine 5 stars, Michae's attitude was NOT and I should have asked to speak with the Manager. We all ordered, one person had a draft beer. The table stated separ checks for the beginning. At the end, Michael brings one check! My colleague was polite and reminded him of separate checks. Michael was agitated and came back with a stack 4 of the checks and dropped them midair on the table. My colleague called Michael back as his draft beer was on someone else's receipt and Michael's response was "well, that's what you get when you ask for separate checks!" Food was 4.5 stars, waiter attitude 0 star. Attention Management: Please speak with Michael and any wait staff and remind them without customers, there will not be a reason to be in business nor need employees. Also, you do not speak to someone in this manner who served their country USA and is a proud military veteran. This was disrespectful when guests were polite and courteous throughout. This is an ideal opportunity for management to remind employees that every guest deserves an exceptional experience. Opted to bring a colleague on a different day and were greeted promp and seated outdoors due to wait and minimal seating. Fortunately, the waitress was Emily who may have been training but was polite. We mentioned separate checks and one sleeve was brought with 2 separate checks! The meal was enjoyable and this experience was over 4.5 stars. Zucchini ribbons slightly brown and not much flavor perhaps try adding some fresh herbs. Attached are some pics. read more

Awesome Irish pub - the best part of the hotel I stayed at in Philly. The food was great and Latoya was one of the nicest, hardest working bartenders I've ever seen. They also pour a great Guinness, just like how they do in Ireland. We got our food and drinks to go since we had a dog with us, but they even had cool live music later in the night while I waited for the order. I was so impressed at the hospitality and quality of service here and can't wait to go back. read more

My friends and I were walking around the city looking for a decent brunch spot and unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience here. Front desk staff were rude. We were seated outside, which had a nice view of the city, but the heater was not working well and it was a cold day. Our appetizer of Murphy fries was pretty good, but our entrees were not. They would not add egg whites to my order of 2 sunny-side-up eggs, which were undercooked. There was a hair in the side of bacon. Our toast was burnt. If you are looking for a breakfast/ brunch place in the city, I encourage you to look elsewhere. read more

i loved the quaintness of this restaurant/bar. It was very lively on an early Thursday night and I loved that it was decorated holiday themed. I got good vibes when I entered. I thought this place had exceptional service from the hostess to especially the waitress (pretty African-American girl). The menu was very extensive. It was a mild night and we were able to sit out side which was nice. The manager even offered us an outdoor heater but we were comfortable. Food was decent in my opinion nothing too fancy (picky eaters have options lol). I would return if I was nearby in the area. read more

On the plus side, the Irish bartender was very nice and easy on the eyes. The shepherd's pie, however, was seriously average. It was mostly potatoes, in a shallow casserole that left little room for any stew. And it was pretty salty. Maybe just stop in for a drink and sit at the bar! read more

Con Murphys is an incredible establishment, and the consummate Irish bar in Philly. The food, the staff, the music.... AND the VIBE! HIGHLY recommend this establishment! Beyond the things that make an Irish bar great, the attention to detail is above all. For example, last night I lost a 24k gold bracelet (didn't even know) and today the owner and his son found me to give it back. I hadn't even realized it had been lost and they remembered me.... And found me nearby. We need more establishments like Con Murphy's in the world today. Thank you so much! read more

This place is right next door to the Windsor Suites hotel where I was staying in Philadelphia. After getting in late, I was a little hungry so I stopped in. There was live music playing which is standard fare for an Irish pub. I had the fish tacos which was a "starter" but it was enough for me, especially when paired with a Smithwick's Irish ale. The bar area is a little small but there is seating upstairs which I didn't see. All in all a nice place to kick back with a brew and listen to live entertainment. I'm kicking my review up a notch because I came here for lunch the next day. My first time in Philadelphia and it rained all day! Of course I couldn't leave without having a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. I paired it with a Smithwick's ale. It was delicious. I'm glad this place si so close to where I'm staying. read more

Typical Irish/American pub/restaurant on the Parkway. Came with a couple of friends for dinner, pretty much at the start of when things were reopening from COVID. Was sat outside as indoor seating was still prohibited. Decent vibe, decent food. Food/Drinks I had the bacon truffle flatbread and my friends had burgers. Burgers did not appear that special. On the other hand, my flatbread was rather unique. I was hoping for a stronger truffle taste, but it wasn't really there; the bacon surprisingly did complement it though. I would say a highlight dish was the fried cauliflower dish, which was surprisingly good. The restaurant has a really decent drink selection, even while they limited their selection due to COVID. Prices are average and what you would expect from a center city restaurant. Service/Environment Overall, service was decent. However, they only opened the outdoor seating area and there weren't too many customers to begin with. They were very attentive though. The outdoor seating area was nice, you're basically on the Parkway and have a decent view around. Not much to comment on the inside yet, but maybe soon to come? Rating: 6/10 Pros: Great location, good service Cons: Rather plain and nothing stood out. Recommendations: Fried Cauliflower appetizer! read more

Reasonably enjoyable Irish pub. Have a Guinness Stout on tap which always works and never disappoints. We shared a fish and chips place which was again reasonably well done - although a bit heavy on the breading in my opinion. Service started out slow but picked up. I would not say this place is my go to -- however it's a perfectly acceptable Irish pub that was close to where we were staying. read more

This place is good if you want a hotel Irish bar that has live music. The food definitely isn't the best but it's gotten better over the years. If you want to listen to some people play while drinking a beer this would be perfect.

We had a great experience at Con Murphy's. Our server was extremely accommodating with seating preferences and menu item alterations. The flatbread was outstanding and had a great balance of flavors and textures. The cheesesteak minus the bun was delicious. I appreciate the flexibility to try a Philly Cheesesteak despite dietary restrictions. I was not sure why I got a little side of ketchup, but it made a nice addition with such a contrasting flavor. read more

Restaurant week (winter 2021) review. This was an impressive treat for a first timer. I have walked by this place dozens of times but have never eaten in here and so I decided to give this place a try since the restaurant week menu looked impressive. This is an Irish pub as the title suggests. It is also a lot larger than it looks. The initial downstairs area is the bar and is a smaller and cozier setup where you are never far from the bartender. There is an upstairs and a mezzanine-type seating area as well as an outdoors area. While waiting for my food I saw several families that left and so there is ample seating for larger groups The food was EXCELLENT. I had prime rib as the entree and it was sizeable. I highly recommend this place to eat. read more

History

Established in 2009.

An Irish Pub paying tribute to an old friend from Ireland, Con Murphy Con was both a gentleman and a scholar. He had a healthy aversion to work. Con never lied but was often careless with the truth and never allowed it to get in the way of a good story. Con was a raconteur and a rogue but, above all, he was a character who brought a smile to your face and warmth to your heart which is what this Pub aims to do also. Fellow Limerick men themselves, Liam Kelly and Maurice Collins have carved an Irish niche in Philadelphia with the help of a few craftsmen. A classy yet comfortable Pub awaits you on Ben Franklin Parkway. Ben and Con would have gotten along famously (and are probably trading stories as we speak). Join us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and weekend brunch. Enjoy a drink, watch a football game, and listen to music. But most of all relax and make yourself at home. Con wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

And it was walking distance from my hotel. Indeed their beer selection was impressive and carried Belgian Tripels, ales and IPAs and the elusive Pliney the Elder on tap at $8.50 a pint. I also learned their food menu boasts some well known choices. However, on this lunch visit the grill was out of service; no burgers, steaks, etc. I pivoted to their popular steamed mussels. A sizable pot of plump mussels in their black shells swimming in their liquor and considerable diced garlic and chopped fresh parsley. Delicious. The meal was accompanied by pommes frites and small slices of baguette for sopping. A chilled pint of Elder finished the monk's testament to excellence. Take a break from the cheesesteak and commit to the Monk. Well worth it.

That's their choice, get over it. If you didn't see the 4 cash only signs that's your fault. Besides, not paying credit card surcharges helps keep their liquor & beer prices reasonable.

This way it was easy for our group to talk. I saw someone else drinking a drink that looked really good so I just ordered that without looking at the menu. It was in a champagne glass and had an orange peel in it. This drink was delish and I would order it again. I ordered the caesar w salmon. The salad itself was fine but the dressing didn't taste at all like caesar dressing. I still ate the whole thing - but just didn't love the dressing.

Reviewers rated Moriarty's short ribs highly, and though I hesitated to order risotto take out, I want for it. Sorry, no pics but trust ne when I say it was delish! The portions were great (there were a few spears of asparagus) and the lukewarm risotto (expected considering it was delivered) was creamy and flavorful. There was a but more oil than I would have liked floating at the bottom, and the sauce was a bit salty, but not so much that I couldn't enjoy the super tender morsels of beef. I look forward to trying something else on the menu soon.

No cover, apparently there's a third floor that we didn't realize was there, would've made it easier as a bigger group to go up, I think -- our space was reserved but it was too small for the group, so we have to plan better next time.
