Irish Restaurants near Ardmore, PA

“Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone who is looking for a new experience. It has all the basic foods that you love and some new foods for you to try. The staff is over the top kind and helpful and the food is delicious. Located in central Ardmore, McCloskeys is a neighborhood Irish pub that has been serving for over 85 years. As I walked in, I was greeted by accommodating staff who allowed me to sit wherever I wished. I picked a high-top table, but they also had low tops and a bar to sit at. I scanned over the menu and many things caught my eye. Some of which are the quesadilla of the week, soup of the day, and McCloskey's burger. I ended up picking the penne rosa, along with a shirley temple. When the waiter handed me my shirley temple, I already knew it was going to be a good one, since they gave me 3 juicy, red cherries inside. Our appetizers came out and as a person who does not care for wings, I have to say that the buffalo wings (mild) that we got were superb. They had the perfect spicy kick and just the right amount of melty sauce, they were also served with a side of ranch, carrots, and celery. My penne rosa came out warm and steamy, on a big shiny, oval plate. The first bite was the best, the sauce was so creamy and exquisite, the pasta was cooked to perfection. The only thing that bothered me, was that it is a smaller place with many people, which made it a little loud.“

“We stumbled into this wonderful place cold, hungry and exhausted. The wonderful lady at the door, who turns out to be the owner, welcomed us with open arms and began to search for a table. We had to wait a few minutes so she got us 2 stools to sit on while we ordered our beer. Minutes later our table was ready! We ordered the Guinness Casserole and left nothing on that plate! She came over to check on us and saw that we had no soda bread and got us a plate full. We boxed a few pieces to take back with us to enjoy at breakfast. As we left we thanked her and I told her that everything was FANTASTIC and showed her the bread we were going to take home! She then took the box and filled it for us so we had enough for long drive home! I will come back anytime I'm in Philly. I have told all my friends and family to come here. It is a wonderful place. Live Irish music and extraordinary service. Thank you for your warm hospitality and delicious food and cold beer!“

“Great location to avoid chain restaraunts!An Irish pub on a corner in residential area of Fairmount. Traditional fare and one of the best pours of Guinness in the area! Our favorite was Donegal fries (image shown). Even the regular fries that came with our meals beyond expectations! Looking forward to return!“

“Despite the other reviews that I read that only gave this phenomenal bar one or two stars, I come with facts! No emotion! Just facts! I work for Southwest Airlines, and I visited this bar during one of my Philadelphia overnights. I had an incredible experience. I would give them 10 stars if it was possible. Furthermore, I met the manager, and he, too, added to my incredible experience. I travel across America every day, and I know what to expect from a good establishment. If you are ever visiting Philadelphia, then do yourself a favor and visit Con Murphy's Irish Pub! You will enjoy yourselves.“

“Nice Irish pub in South Philly. Went with my GF. I had the House burger which was delicious with onion rings (pictured). My gf had the Shepard's pie and she devoured a good chunk of it before I could take a photo. We shared the Bacon Mac and cheese as an appetizer.“

“It's a pretty pretty good happy hour with half off drinks. But last time I was there the bartender took so long to give me my check that I left a five and walked out. I hope I left enough. Oh well if I get banned, there are so many other bars that I won't be disappointed.“
