Padre Murphy’s

First time visit, LAST. Jambalaya was horrid. Sausage was old dried up, shrimp ok. Was not made like a true Jambalaya. Sons steak was ok but baked potato was old dis-​colored not white like fresh. Husband had meatloaf said «nothing to write home about.» Bread was about the only good tasting part of all three meals. Service was low, had to keep flagging down waitress. Waste of money. We will never never go back

Living on the west side, you get the best sports bar… with live betting (dogs and horses). The food is good. Service is… slow…really really slow.

I’m a fairly big fan of Padre Murphy’s. I come every year for St. Patrick’s Day and for most sporting events with a very large group of my friends. But tonight made me realize they are skimping on their alcoholic beverages. I ordered 7 Long Island Ice Teas during the fights. Normally that would have anyone sleeping in a corner near the bar on the ground in any other establishment but tonight I’m just fine wishing I was a little more buzzed. Extremely disappointed that I spent so much money and did not get my money’s worth. I will be watching my sporting events in other venues who don’t try to save a few dollars by diluting their beverages.

Horrible service. Took us 45 mins to get a beer on the outside patio, same as our food. 45 minutes for fried pickles and Gumbo! The checks were messed up at the end as well. Granted it was a Monday night football, but staff accordingly. We were celebrating a birthday as well and no offer for free a free drink, shot nothing.
Last time I would intentionally go here.

Old School Cool… So this bar reminds me of most of the bars my mom use to frequent when I was younger. Like late 90’s, early 2000’s kind of bar. I would say 3 ½ Stars if I could. It’s kind of old inside. But it’s also what gives it, it’s «charm.» I would love to see it remodeled but it must works how it is. I was just in there this last Sunday and Oh My Goodness… Wall to wall, packed full of people. So they must be doing something right.
What I like:
For Bar food I have never been disappointed. THE SOUTHWESTERN CLUB — Turkey, crisp bacon, Anaheim chili and pepper jack cheese. Served triple decker style. Is probably my favorite thing here besides the Crispy Green Beans. But you can’t really go wrong with food here.
The prices are not that bad. Pretty cheap.
They have regular drink specialties and happy hour.
They have off track betting all day long.
They have TON’S of seating. Inside, outside, tall bar tops inside and out, booth’s inside, LARGE patio.
They show the fights on big fight nights.
They have TV’s EVERYWHERE.
What I would upgrade:
As the servers are always sweet, they need a better set up. They seem to take tables ALL OVER. So you never know when you might see your server again. Especially on their busy nights like Fight Nights.
A few more and better drink specials.
The Décor. It does give off a bit of an Irish Pub, but it needs an upgrade for sure.
All and all that is the biggest thing for me. I would love to see it have a bit of a face lift

The place is pretty decent. Always courteous, food is pretty decent, priced are fair and it’s got a ton of tv’s for whatever you wanna watch.

The music and beer selection has GREATLY improved! Good job guys! The service is still great and we really enjoy the OTB. It’s a fun place to go with a group of friends or a celebration. They have really good wings… order them extra crispy, with «meet the devil» sauce and grilled… trust me;)
We will keep coming back now!

The service we had was excellent, couldn’t have asked for a nicer server and knowledgeable on everything we asked her. The boys had fun placing bets while our daughter helped dad with his. Fun place and will definitely be back many times this football season.

Tom has built a great establishment with great food and great people!
His new bar and tap system is amazing! Food is great with awesome service.

I’m sorry this is probably a great sports bar it seems like but the service could have been better. First we had to flag down a waitress and she didn’t even provide us with menus so we got to play guessing games here. Pitchers are now only domestic and no microbrews… if your big into sports sure you’ll enjoy the hundreds of TV screens broadcasting your favorite team but I wouldn’t come here for casual dining..

Went in here after the gym to grab some lunch and a few drinks. Great beer selection, Irish nachos were pretty delicious, though our food took quite awhile to arrive. The energy level of the staff was way down. No one was smiling. We weren’t greeted with a friendly hello. The bartender had her head down the whole time and the other waitress (not ours) stood at the back of the restaurant with her arms crossed, frowning the entirety of our visit. She was also at the door when we left and didn’t say a single word to us. I’m pretty big on customer service so I’m not sure if I’ll be back.

This place has been solid for many years. Good food, good service, tons of TVs for sports fanatics, and off track betting. Recently they added craft brews too! You can’t go wrong here.

Don’t come here to eat food if the ufc fight is playing. For some odd reason, it’s illegal now to have a minor in a restaurant while a total legal fight is playing. Never had an issue with boxing. Padre Murphys won’t be getting a return from us. Two adults and our child and all heck might break loose and endanger him while he sits and eats food in the dining area. God forbid we subject him to betting on horses and dogs during the week. That’s totally acceptable to management though.
I guess Tailgaters down the road doesn’t have the same policy.

Better than average bar food… service isnt the greatest but its all about the off track betting here … Lots of tvs and if its the dogs or horses they got windows for them both … As far as off track betting goes its one of the better ones in northwest valley …

Besides the off track bettings, and environment of the normal Sat UFC crowd this place is just mediocre. It is a PHX staple as far as bars goes but has gone down hill.
The food every time I have came is «better» then normal but still not outstanding, they have a big menu but nothing ever makes me want more. The pastrami is way to greasy, the chili is just a notch above canned chili and the apps I have were ehh.
The off tack betting is a good fun way to spend a couple bucks but the people who run it are so Fucking rude its pathetic, get another job if you don’t wanna wanna collect dollars bills for a living and not have the attention like a stripper would…
Prices are over priced too, beer and alcohol is pretty ridiculous even on so called «happy hour» like 4 – 5 dollar beers what???
So unless it’s a special occasion I would say stop in to experience the iconic bar but you probably won’t come back

Was here a week ago Saturday and again this past Friday and I will tell you this I will never drink a alcoholic beverage from here again. Both times. Same bartender. Ordered a kettle and soda water and both times absolutely no alcohol in them. I don’t mind paying nine or ten dollars for a drink but when I don’t get any alcohol in my drink I get mad. If you are on a pour count then use the jiggers. Do not rip the customer off just because you don’t know how to pour correctly. When the waitress tells you that everyone of her tables has complained about the same thing maybe you should rethink your line of work and stick to waitressing. The sad part is I like the food and the people there but will not ever spend another dime at this place.

This is a pretty lively bar with a legit sandwich menu and an overall sports-​centered theme. I would describe it as the bar version of an Irish guy who moves to Phoenix and becomes indoctrinated with the boot-​wearing country culture, yet retains a few Irish traditions. There is a big outside patio that seems to be popular on balmy Phoenix nights, and spacious booth seating on the inside as well. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and a Bass draught. The bread was a crusty roll, with a nice golden buttery toasting on the inside edges. The steak was thin and extremely tender, with very small soft diced peppers and onions mixed throughout. On top, a blanket of gooey white cheese (provolone?) smothered the tender meat in an explosion of decadence. It was served alongside pretty typical bar-​style French fries (medium thickness, fried crisp, golden color) but there was way too much seasoned salt on the fries. Of course, bar games and body shots were in full effect up at the bar and allegedly this is a gambling hot spot during the races. Overall a pretty solid spot for cold beer and hot sandwiches.

Went here last night for a coworkers going away shindig. The place was cool. We had a large table outside on the patio and our waitress was on top of everything. Blue Moons were $ 4.00 during Happy Hour and they had food deals too. The people next to me got fish and chips and coconut fried shrimp (you order them individually…$ 1.29 each… they were big) and seemed to enjoy them. This place has a grip of TVs but most of them are live link horse racing tracks. Padres is an off site betting place with kiosks where you can wager on horse racing. Interesting mix of folks… old timers with their racing programs to younger 20 somethings hanging out. It was a chill spot and I could see myself coming back for a beer after work with the gang.

I wish this place was something better than it is.
I have been here at various hours and the drinks are always overpriced compared to other bars within a five-​mile radius.
Trying to snag a waitress while sitting at a table even if it isn’t slammed is one of the most daunting tasks, as clearly they are too busy with whatever it is that they are doing to see you want to stay and spend more of your hard earned money on their business. Kind of a bummer.

The chicken wings were superb and Lauren from Australia was a blast to talk to and very courteous and accomodating.
Definitely will go back.
BTW, unlimited raspberry iced tea!
