Billy Murphy's Irish Saloon

Nice lunch spot

My guinness was right. Pricey though.

Good cheesesteaks, good atmosphere, attentive service

Stopped in this past Saturday for a cold drink after my son's baseball game. Perfect spot to meet some friends and watch the horse races. Bartender was super friendly. Next time I hope to stop in and sample their food.

Murphy’s Saloon in East Falls: My Daily Temptation

Let’s start with the facts: Murphy’s says it’s a saloon, but it’s really a gastropub in disguise—minus the attitude. This place is pure comfort. It’s warm, welcoming, and somehow hits that rare sweet spot between elevated food and a laid-back vibe. JK, the bartender when I went, was on point—friendly, chill, and knows his beer.

Speaking of beer? Impeccable. Great choices, perfectly poured. And the food? Dangerous. Like, I-have-to-stop-myself-from-going-every-single-day dangerous. They carve their turkey fresh. The roast pork sandwich was mind-blowing. The cheesesteak? Made with sirloin. Come on. That’s not a sandwich, that’s a commitment to excellence.

And the fries. The fries. I dream about them. They’re the kind of fries that make you cancel other plans.

To top it all off, the prices are super reasonable—though I hesitate to say that too loudly. Please, Murphy’s, don’t raise them. We love you just the way you are.

Highly recommend the buffalo chicken cheesesteak

Great food, great fun, great place to watch a game. Don't miss the Turf Burger, mmm.

Great Irish neighborhood bar. Good selection of beers. We ordered wings and chicken tenders. The wings were excellent, and the tenders were very good. No credit or debit cards are accepted.

Absolutely great. Delicious, carefully made, fairly priced food. Low-key, friendly place. Went in for the first time a couple nights ago off of a reddit recommendation. Turf Burger was an _outstanding_, juicy, flavorful, fat pub-style burger (reminded me that the smashburger style isn't always the best). Immediately slots into my top 5 burgers in the city. Fries were fresh-cut and excellent. Server was super-nice - among other things he strongly suggested my son and I would be fine sharing a small order of fries and he was right and saved us money. Nice selection of beers on tap. Just so satisfying when you find a place that puts serious care into what they do, but doesn't charge a week's pay for it. Will be back soon.
