I love Con Murphy's - it is hard to beat the outside patio tables after work any day of the week. Happy hour specials make beer prices very reasonable and food is really good! I usually order wings every time I am there, but I have tried the tuna appetizer, the Con Murphy burger, and pulled pork sandwich and they were all delicious. This summer I have been in the habit of sitting outside in the sun with a heffeweizen and some wings watching people walk to and from wherever they are going....it is the best.
PROS:Food - People that work there are really nice - Outside patio is great for people watching - good tap beers - tvs inside are decent
I agree with the review above. Con Murphys feels very new and modern. The most appealing thing about it is the staff if you ask me. Everyone is very nice, knowledgeable about their menu (beer and food), and most importanltly acts like they want to be there. I find that so many coolguy, punkster bartenders need to be tickled to get a smile out of them and I dont get that feeling at all at Con Murphys - I actually get the "good to see you, thanks for coming in" feeling and I think that is the best compliment I can pay to an Irish Pub. When I go into an Irish Pub there are a few things that I want: good beer on tap, decent barfood, and bartenders/servers who make stopping in worth it. Con Murphys has all of the above. Thanks for coming to the Ben Franklin Pkwy area!
I met a group of friends at Con Murphy's for happy hour yesterday and I was really mpressed. For being an Irish Pub, it doesn't really have that dim-lighting, reserved environment that I have come to expect....what I mean is that the decor is bright, artsy, modern, and cool. There are standard Irish pub staples like Guiness and other good beers on tap, Irish-American fare, etc but Con Murphys feels more 'New & modern Ireland' then 'old, been there-done that Ireland' - eg. Irish Pub, Fado, etc. There is a parking gararge next door which is great for those not looking to fight for a street spot. The staff was friendly and welcoming, there are lots of nice TVs to watch sports on, and the happy hour specials were definately worth going out for. Overall Con Murphys is an upscale, modern Irish Pub with good food, great beer, and friendly service. I will definately be going back again soon.
