    Homemade Sausage Rolls
    Cody D.

    This place gets 5 stars doe the food, for the Irish beer, for the service we received, and for our the warm an inviting atmosphere. The homemade sausage rolls were delicious and came with HP sauce, which is apparently a very big thing in the UK. I had the fish and chips and it was some of the best fried fish I've had. The fries were excellent, the tartar sauce provided was nice, and they have authentic UK malt vinegar to bring you. Yes, please and thank you. T had the French dip that was stuffed with meant and cheese and came with a huge bowl of au jus for dipping. It was outstanding. We were very impressed.

    Back from a very quick trip to PA. Barely two nights. The main mission was simple. See people I had not seen in way too long. A buddy from JHS and high school, whom I had not seen in 25 years. A long overdue visit with my mother-in-law. And some quality time with my sister-in-law. That final evening brought us to Con Murphy's for a little comfort food and catch-up. Tuesday night made for an easy table for two, and the location was clutch. It is connected to the hotel, so zero wandering the Philly streets trying to decide where to eat. Just walk downstairs and boom. Dinner. Now, about 90 minutes before this meal, both of us claimed we were not that hungry. Maybe an appetizer somewhere, we said. Something light. Famous last words. Next thing you know, we are ordering full-blown comfort food entrees. Funny how the stomach likes to change its mind. I went with the beef stew. She ordered the shepherd's pie. Clearly, we leaned all the way in. Venue-wise, it has that solid, homey Irish pub feel. Comfortable. Lively without being loud. Service was just dandy. I did not catch our server's name, but he was friendly, attentive, and let us linger while we caught up. The food was good and hearty. My sister-in-law's shepherd's pie may have edged out my stew just a bit. The stew was solid, but it felt like it was missing a little something. Maybe a touch more salt or pepper. Just a small nudge to take it up a notch. That said, the portions were generous, and the value felt fair. And the fact that neither of us had leftovers says plenty. Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time, I might steal her move and order the shepherd's pie. Or try something else. Life is short, especially when it comes to pub menus. All in all, a cozy spot for comfort food and conversation. And sometimes that is exactly what you need.

    Fish & Chips
    Laurie G.

    Was in Philly for the night at a somewhat close hotel, out walking, saw Con Murphy's and decided to give it a try. Atmosphere felt pub like. There is an upstairs, outside and main floor inside. The service was friendly, efficient and reasonably timely. The fish and chips were a good portion, well fried with flaky fish and very tasty complete with wine vinegar. Guiness and the layered Blacksmith were just right.

    I liked it here. It's a homey feel that you can walk into any time of the day and feel welcome. The staff are friendly and gave a great descriptions of their menu items. I got the fish sandwich. It was a hearty plate and I had plenty for later. Also pictued is the french toast, my friend was excitingly satifsfied. I also got an Irish coffee, which was a perfect finish to a fun brunch. In Philly for just a day, this place knows how to make passersby feel confident turning a random choice into a good decision.

    Dolce Banana Bread Pudding.

    Decided to go to Con Murphy's for Happy Hour with some friends. It was busy, so I was happy that we made reservations. It was loud inside-it was almost like a bar-vibe. Once seated, I immediately ordered because I wanted to make it to Philly's Christmas Village before it was too late. Started out with the cheesesteak egg rolls. They were crispy, and the steak was well seasoned. It's served with sriracha aioli. I wasn't I fan of it, so I opted for ketchup instead. 5/5 Next were the loaded Nachos. I added the braised short ribs for an additional $7, and it was well worth it. VERY GOOD. 5/5 Nope, I'm not done yet. Next up were the blackened fish tacos. These were superb. Seasoned to perfection. All of the toppings blended well together. The fish was juicy, fresh, and tender. 5/5 Don't be upset, but I had the nerve to get both the elote street corn and the honey chili chicken flat breads, and they did not disappoint. They were thin and crispy and already cut and easy to pull apart. I want to tell you how they both tasted, but you'd be reading for a while. So I'll just say this; "Both are a must try. " 5/5 Next up, was the homemade spinach gnocchi. I thought it would be sooo good, but it lacked flavor. The sauce wasn't good to me. The dumplings were doughy and also didn't have any flavor. This was my least favorite dish. 1/5 I also had the linguini Alfredo with herbed cream sauce with blackened shrimp. 5/5 For dessert, I had the dolce banana bread pudding with sweet whisky sauce and a scoop of vanilla icecream. Thumbs down on that one. 1/5 The Brownie À la mode with icecream was VERY good, although it didn't have nuts. It was warm, moist, and not over chocolatey 5/5 Yes, I know you're wondering if I made it to the Christmas Village after all of this food--HELL YEAH I did! Til we eat again....

    Mule

    We opted to go here as it was the in house restaurant of our hotel. We were seated immediately on a weekday evening. We opted the outdoor seating for some fresh air. I chose a non-alcoholic drink which they did not have on the menu and the waitress recommended a mule drink to be only option which would taste good without alcohol. The drink was fine--perhaps not crafted to perfection, but they did the job and paired well with the friendly, laid-back atmosphere. We ordered wings and pasta . They were both delivered warm. It was good but not exceptional. Quantity wise it was good for 2 people. To me it may not top my "must-eat" list, but it earns a spot for chill evenings and solid company.

    While in town at a work conference, we decided to try and find a place to have some drinks. About a block away from our hotel was Con Murphy's. We had eaten already so drinks it was. Early evening was not too packed and there were many TVs playing differnet sports on them. Service was solid. The food on the adjacent tales looked very appetizing. Insise were two floors, essentially a bar area and seating upstairs. I did not get up there to take a look. Cool spot.

    Excellent location and the staff was super friendly. Establishment was clean. Very lively and food was good.

    Philly cheesesteak and veggie hash

    Excellent stop in Philadelphia for a good cheesesteak, a great selection of beers and a top notch service in a nice vibe pub. Centrally located to walk to city hall and other attractions. Highly recommend.

    Chorizo Potato Frittata
    Melitta S.

    We were staying at the Windsor so it was super convenient. We ate here multiple times because well it was good! Brunch I had a chorizo potato frittata--- wow it was great!! Lunch one day had the grouper sandwich --also delicious I don't think you can go wrong with anything Service was good depending on busyness which is understandable. We were in no rush so it was fine

    Eva B.

    Definitely a fan of this spot! Great for dinner or a drink out! The vibe is really fun, and the two story restaurant makes it not feel too cramped even when it's crowded! The drinks were really good - loved the festive holiday cocktail options. I also had the truffle fries and Mac & Cheese and both we delish! A great casual spot in center city!

    Came here with a group of friends for brunch and we left feeling disappointed. When we arrived, the hostesses told us there was no seating inside and to check the upstairs bar for spots (there were none). We decided to sit outside since there was a heater, but honestly we were still freezing so I wouldn't recommend the outdoor seating if it's cold. We ordered the Murphy fries and Parmesan truffle fries for the table and honestly the fries were the best thing we had there. The other food was not good. I ordered the avocado toast with eggs and they very clearly burnt my toast and just covered it up anyway with the toppings. Additionally, none of my food was seasoned and it was just very bland. My friend found a hair in his food. No one at my table seemed to enjoy their meals and we unfortunately left a lot of food unfinished. Service was okay; our waitress was good but the hostesses werent very nice. The wait times were long. On top of just not having a good dining experience, they add on 20% gratuity automatically so watch out for that. Overall I probably wouldn't come back here for food.

    Afternoon drinks!!
    Tatiana T.

    What an amazing surprise!!! I came to Philly due to a conference and we had a couple of hours to "kill" before the conference started and on our way from the parking lot to the conference, we stumbled into this place, very low key, in a very busy street corner... EVERYTHING IS PERFECT HERE!! Portions were big, well priced dishes, service was friendly and inviting.. great atmosphere.. it was SO GOOD... we had to come AGAIN!! the conference ended at 5 pm and instead of heading back home (2hrs one way without traffic) we couldn't help it but get our a$$es back here for appetizers and drinks... this is a true Philly gem! If you are in the Philly downtown area PLEASE COME HERE!!! Thank me later!! Special shout-out to Michael T (my brunch waiter) and Conor M (the afternoon waiter).. LOVE LOVE LOVE

    Our family has been going here for over 15 years.. We have never gotten a bad meal and the service…read moreis great!!

    I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I…read morewas out with the family that someone suggested going to The Pub. 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.

    We came here around 11am before a matinee and didn't realize we wouldn't be able to get a table…read more We were very lucky to get bar seats that were around the corner of the bar. 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.
