Billy Murphy's Irish Saloon

Bar$

In a mostly residential section of East Falls, where one-way streets weave through the hills behind the Regional Rail line, Billy Murphy’s has been a neighborhood fixture as long as anyone can remember. These days, the place makes its bones with laid-back vibes, ten taps, hand-cut fries and a menu full of badass burgers. House special is the Big Mic, a thick and robust upgrade over its fast-food evil twin.
