Con Murphy's Irish Pub, Philadelphia PA

We felt totally unsafe there. A man stopped by our window while we were eating, started yelling and threatening us, he got our food and threw the plate and the glass on the table. It was pretty scary and nobody say a word to help. The place should have a security guard or at least pay more attention to customers. The experience was terrible. The food was okay.

It was a very nice pub and had very tasty food. It was a bit louder than I was expecting. It felt like the music kept getting louder so everyone had to talk louder. Made having a conversation a bit tougher to do.

Toya was our server. Very quick, hospitable and knowledgeable. I have to say, I had the beet salad and it’s the best salad I ever had. On a scale from 1-5 it definitely was a 10! My husband had the fish & chips. Delicious also. Cold slaw was a 4.

Stopped in without reservations and were seated immediately. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food was good and drink selection was diverse and contained enough variety to appeal to all in our party. Felt a little rushed with little time between appetizers and entrée, but overall a nice experience.

I'm in the middle. The smiling energetic faces that are fooling you are staff members, my latest victims. The guy in the back of the photo, is Alejandro who waited on me last May when I visited from Boston. At that particular lunch there was not an empty seat and a server called off leaving only Alejandro and some woman who has since left to go on to darker pastures. They worked effortlessly. Grace (not the server Gracie) under pressure.
Last week I was in Fort Lauderdale and headed to Con Murphy my favorite restaurant. I was greeted by Kayla who possesses a unique gift in her personality of being sassy and charming at the same time. I told her I recognized her when I purchased a gift card and she had no earthly clue how to ring it up. I said, "well you're going to learn. " She remembered me. LOL.
I'm not sure what my favorite memory is here. It may have been with Adrian. I was craving chocolate. I could practically taste the lava cake as it was being prepared in the kitchen. I thought the sun would come up before I was ever going to see that cake. Adrian informed me with great trepidation that the lava had been 86'd. I had a reaction. I teased him, a fabulous professional. Once I was having eggs benedict for breakfast and Faith came to my table and asked me to move because a large party was coming in. I shot her a look as my utensils and I hesitantly traveled 20 feet ending up in a corner where I had claustrophobia served with home fries. The large party never came. It dwindled in size. I thought about dwindling Faith's gratuity. Manager Demetrius once practically ran an obstacle course through the entire restaurant to present my blonde brownie with whipped cream as the cream was definitely experiencing climate warming dripping onto my sandals. Excellent but it did not quench the chocolate craving. Then there is Alex, a bartender who supplied the greatest laugh. One night I was having the barbecue wings that serve up the best barbecue sauce in all of Florida as far as I'm concerned (although I've never been to Tallahassee so I may be jumping the gun). Bree was serving me and could not have been more pleasant with great recommendations anticipating everything I needed. However my fingers were drenched in sauce and I went through so many napkins that the only thing left was the ocean across the street. A man sitting at a table behind me began a conversation with me informing me he was from New York. I told him I was from Boston and he had no idea where Boston is. Alex from behind the bar heard this conversation and she roared, "talk about denial New York, good God. " Alex became my hero at that moment.
I had not seen Alejandro all week however low and behold he showed up. Everything now will go right. But God had other plans. I was doing a talk to text with the microphone open. When Alejandro came to my table telling me the food would be out soon, (I had completely forgotten what I ordered at this point) we had a conversation involving his goals. The conversation lasted approximately 7 to 8 minutes. When he walked to go back to the kitchen to do God only knows what, I picked up my phone and saw that I had dictated the entire conversation. Everything from becoming an EMT to Adrian's missing lava cake, and the claustrophobic seating from Faith. LOL.
I hope anyone who reads this review will easily surmise that they will make you feel like family here. This is not simply a job for these people. It is a passion with the highest value in customer relations. They truly care that you have a good experience and when they wish you to return, they really mean it.
I thank Kayla, Faith, Bree, Alex, Alejandro, Gracie, Julie the general manager, Joelle, Adrian, Demetrius for whom I wish an extended happy birthday, and every employee in the back of the house of whom I did not have the pleasure to meet. You all mean the world to me and I think you know that.
I have been living with brian cancer and you guys have impacted me with joy beyond measure making some of my difficulty less burdensome.
I'm grateful. God bless.

I am here at Con Murphy right now, sitting at their outside dining area… there are MICE running around. The manager came to our table - and did NOTHING. Sad as the atmosphere could be great, but the rodents (and manager… who did nothing.we already ate) kind of killed it all. I’m bummed as I had been here 2 years ago for a nice breakfast, however; will not be returning tomorrow:

In town today from Belfast Ireland stopped in for Happy hour with my daughter set at the bar and you could of cut the air with a knife the bartender didn't even say hello she give us are drinks and went and back to her friend and talked away trying to get a second drink was like pulling teeth from a chicken never again

The chicken n waffles are really delicious! With a habanero syrup, which is just really delicious in combination.
During the week there is a happy hour from 3-6pm where, among other things, margaritas only cost $5 and they were really, really good!

Toya is a Saint made sure everything was perfect! Please come here food is great and service is awesome

If you are female do not go alone. Me and my girlfriend were offered free drinks and continuously touched and begged to keep drinking and stay. Even more so, one paid the bartender to stay open later in an attempt to get us even more drunk. He had a wife and kid we were put in a position where we were horrified for our safety. The manager is in on it. It is unsafe, uncomfortable and down right wrong. They are absolutely disgusting and I do not want anyone to go through what we did on vacation.

Great atmosphere. Busy but spots available. Lots of seating choices from patio to upstairs to bar. Live music was really good with some good Ed Sheeran style foot pedal action. Volume level was appropriate so people could still socialize. Fish Tacos were excellent despite being a little runny. The veggie flatbread was a little boring. Neither were crispy if that's your style.

On 07/30/2023 both myself and my family shared a wonderful Sunday evening dining outdoors at Con Murphy's establishment with your server Latoya. She was very personable and very knowledgeable about the different variations beers and cocktails. She provided us great service and we had an amazing dining experience with Con Murphy's. We will definitely be returning. I want you all to have a great rest of your day.

I got the Ruben and my wife got the fish 'n chips. Mine was very good. My wife's was just okay. Don't bother getting the blueberry cheesecake. It was not as good as I hoped it'd be. The service was great as was the atmosphere.

Great little pub and the food was good also. The barman James was outstanding and a real asset to the pub
