Thrillist Philadelphia
Tuesday November 3, 2009
Con Murphy's
1700 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy, N 17th at Cherry; 267.687.1128
While Irish pubs are great drinking destinations, their
food's so likely to use Guinness as a crutch it might as
well be Colin Farrell, or so disappointingly bland, it might
as well be Colin Farrell. For non-Irish dishes in a
traditional Irish pub, check out Con Murphy's.
Now open in the former Peacock on the Parkway and connected
to the Windsor Hotel, Murphy's is serving
boiled-cabbage-free, gastropub-ish breakfast, lunch, and
dinner in a 115-seat bi-level affair with dark oak & beech
wood bars custom-built in Ireland and installed throughout
the emerald & kelly green first floor and the larger,
pastel-schemed upstairs dining area w/ a dedicated bar and a
family-style table tucked into a remote corner, much like
the one your own family occupies in your mind. Starters
include fried tiger prawn cocktail and crab frites w/ cheese
fondue, while sandwiches run from grilled hanger steak on
ciabattini w/ truffle chive aioli, aged white cheddar & wild
mushrooms to a brick-pressed pork belly Cubano topped w/
Manchego cheese & shaved onions -- which, now need to be
shaved constantly, or they'll only become hairier. On the
entrée side, there's pan roasted salmon w/ black beluga
lentils & Kalamata olives; cavatelli arrabiata w/ baby
spinach, blistered tomatoes & ricotta cheese; and lamb
frites, anchored by a petite rack that's sea salt rubbed,
pan roasted, and currently dating A-Rod.
Drinkwise, 12 taps at both bars pour brews both imported
(Franziskaner, Smithwick's, Peroni) and local (Yards Philly
Pale, Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA), while signature cocktails
include the Goslings/Malibu-fueled Painkiller and the sweet
tea vodka & lemonade Daly Buzz -- like there's any other
kind, right C-Dog?

appetite -- click here to peep the all-day menu at Con
