“Showed up at HH and it was packed, didn't help that there was a Phillies game on. Managed to snag a seat at the downstairs bar, probably should've just went upstairs. Ordered their house red ale and enjoyed it thoroughly. In classic me mode, I only had one beer while I read a chapter before I moved on to the next bar.“

“This is clearly a local watering hole. Wasn't very crowded for a weekday lunch, but food was good and service was prompt. The only thing I personally didn't like was the menu seemed a little limited, but that's a personality thing.“

“Bonners is a great place for the entire family. Yes it’s true in the evening it’s also a great place for college parties which often happen and that’s a great thing too. But in the early evenings and other times it’s a great family oriented restaurant and bar. When you go there they make you feel as if you’re part of some thing. Food is good everything from basic pub fare like fish and chips and shepherds pie, hamburgers etc. They’ll make you whatever drinks you like! If you’re in the area of 23rd and Sansom and you’re looking for a neighborhood establishment this is a great choice!“

“A warm Irish ☘️ welcome on a cold, wet winters day - thats just what the doctor ordered. Well that, and beautiful slow poured pints ? of Guinness, fries ? and a burger ?. Stop by when you’re in the neighborhood. Black Taxi pours their pints proper (just ranked one of the top places to get a black, bold and beautiful pint ? or two. Slainte!“

“I actually do not usually do restaurant reviews, but was so please with Con Murphy that I felt like I had to share. I feel like there are many restaurants in Philly, and this one deserves more attention. We were day-tripping Philly and enjoy seeking out the local Irish pubs. We were charmed by the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere! It was noisy and small, in a fun and happy way. The TWO bars were well-stocked. We came with the family and everyone was pleased. We started with the Parmesan Truffle French Fries and they were exemplary especially paired with the Aeoli. The blackened Grouper sandwich was "sublime" according to my son who works at a restaurant! My daughter didn't prefer the crust thinness of the flatbread, but enjoyed the potatoe soup. The Irish fare was well done. My son ordered the shepard's pie and my husband and I both ordered the beef stew. I am picky of "Irish Food" bc so many places do not give it the attention it deserves, but everything was prepared beautifully. If you like very rich, decadent broths and hearty, meaty portions, then the stew is for you. The bread it was served with was unbelievably flavorful and had a tender center and crusty exterior. The stew tasted like it had slow-cooked for hours and did not dissapoint. I ordered the "Tullamore Gold" cocktail and it was a tad sweet, but flavorful. I wish I had paired a red wine or whisky with the stew. My husband had a canned apple cider which was tasty.“

“This was my first time visiting this Pub and restaurant, I visited around dinner time an overall had an average experience. The menu had both an American and Irish flair, the sandwich and other food I ordered was okay, but unremarkable. Right in the neighborhood again and wanted a lunch time menu I might visit again, but I don't think I'd visit again for dinner. The atmosphere was fairly typical of a public house and otherwise unremarkable“

“We held a surprise 60th bday party for our husbands (June 2023). The owner and event planner (Maureen) couldn’t have done more to accommodate us. They bent over backwards to make it a relaxed time. Their hospitality and decor was top notch. ??“

“Small little Irish bar downtown. It's narrow, but there is a second floor with a pool table and dart board for your enjoyment. The service is efficient and friendly. If you're looking for a laid back place to grab a pint, stop by.“

“Was here for dinner last night. Our very nice server recommended the Caesar salad w/hanger steak and it was excellent. The Guinness was poured perfectly. My friend enjoyed his French Dip sandwich and he is not easily pleased. There are ample TVs to watch the games and there was a full crowd of patrons and a good vibe.“

“We continued our Christmas-themed Tuesday afternoon bar crawl at Finn McCool's Ale House in downtown Philadelphia. The Christmas theme and decorations were excellent, but the drinks were rather pricy, and they didn't serve any food. Make sure you stop in for some great pictures and maybe a boozy hot chocolate, and you can keep the mug, but move on quickly to Philly's other Christmas-themed bars!“

“We really enjoyed ourselves! Great music, Amazing food, and the prices DON'T cause a panic attack when the check comes!! Lol ?. Hanrahan's is definitely on our list of favorite local pubs!! I recommend anyone looking for an affordable night out, which is hard to find these days, to put Hanrahan's Irish Pub on your list!!??“

“I hosted a 40th birthday for my husband with 70 guests. Kelly was incredibly helpful with planning a menu that fit my budget. The food staff far exceeded every expectation. Everything was always full and no one had to ask for anything! Chelsea and Eamon were fun and fast bartenders. The party was great, the food was wonderful and they even took care of the music! Everyone had a blast! The party room was gorgeous and private and our guests loved the firepits outside. I was pleasantly surprised by the bill and plan to come back for our next event. Can't say enough good things!“

“Tonight I went in the kitchen was closed but the bartender recommended a place for food near by I ate and came back just to get drinks from him his personality was top tier and when I came back for drinks he was super friendly and professional made great virgin drinks for my friend and made great alcoholic beverages for myself. The bartender name was Chris I recommend you ask for him when you go there. He was nice to all the customers I seen him interact with. I’ll definitely be back“

“Tir na nog located on 16th street next to Suburban Station. I had the best time here that you can imagine on St. PATRICK'S DAY. All the bartenders were faboulous!!! They were friendly hospitalable quick serving and entertaining. Can't wait to go back and have a great time again. I had Irish breakfast which was pretty good. The prices are reasonable nowadays. English soccer games at their best!! Plenty of TVs.“

“We come here for breakfast in Sunday's a few times a month. My lady has said the woman who tends bar makes the absolute best Bloody Mary. The coffee is literally the best I have had around the area. One waitress told us it's not even that special of a brand but something about it is fantastic. Breakfast is always cooked perfectly and delicious. Thank you for being one of our favorite spots and keep up the great work.“
