Con Murphy's Irish Pub

Con Murphy's sits directly on the Ben Franklin Parkway between Logan Square and the Art Museum. That's not a metaphor — the pub is on the parade route. On March 17th, that makes it the best-located bar in the city.

Owned by the Murphy family with roots in Cork, it's a proper Irish pub with proper food (the shepherd's pie is genuinely good), proper Guinness, and an outdoor patio that fills up the moment the sun comes out.

For parade day: post up here before step-off, watch the pipes and floats pass twenty feet from the door, then walk to the Art Museum after for the finish.
