Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro

I’m really looking forward to attending again soon. The food is always exceptional, especially the ribs! I'm excited to experience the spoken word events – the storytelling has been unforgettable in the past, and I can't wait to make more unforgettable memories!

The food is disappointing. Service is spotty at best. We have given it 3 tries and will not waste anymore funds here. I am an industry person too.

Very cool building and bar. However one of the bartenders was extremely rude/aggressive to me. I’m not sure if it was racism or something, but it definitely came out of nowhere. The bartender was a white male with a beard, maybe in his early 30s & fratty vibe. That interaction definitely soured my experience and I will not be coming back, despite the delicious fries.

As an Irish person out here, I called regarding the All Ireland hurling final which is on tomorrow morning. I explained that I was asking whether the game was being shown in the morning. The person on the other end of the phone didn’t know what it was, and then cut me off. I called back two more times and was put to voicemail. Disgrace for a pub claiming to be of my home country to firstly not seem to know what this iconic event is, and then just cut me off. A huge amount of business lost over this.
Needs to be worked on big time if you plan on flying the Irish flag over this door.

Fishcakes were perfectly cooked a little crispy on the outside and fresh moist meat in the middle.

Hands down the best Irish Pub in all of Chicago. The Irish live music is the best part, but everything about it is pretty great.

Fried pickles were different from any other and better than the typical deep fried. Onion soup lived up to high expectations. Vegetable curry was good, a tad on the mild side. Good french fries. Sunday trad session was great.

Great Irish pub with that old school feel. They have a great menu and pour a fantastic Guinness. Also one Thursday of the month they have free live story telling upstairs which I highly recommend.

Completely understaffed for big football game. People waiting a half hour to get a drink. Some to someone who booked tables for a birthday celebration. They knew in advance but only 2 people to serve.

It was my first time there. I went on Palm Sunday. There was live music played by children and adults. I had the special tritip and for dessert the bread pudding that I am still raving about. I plan to go back for the Guinness stew which I was told is amazing. The ambiance reminded me of The Quiet Man movie one of my favorite 😍 of John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. I've passed this place literally thousands of times cuz I've lived in the neighborhood over 25 years. Always wanted to come in but never did till now. Great place. Worth every penny. Wonderful experience exactly what I hoped it would be.
