Spider Murphy's

Neighborhood: East Dallas & Lakewood

2810 N. Henderson Ave. Dallas, TX

469-779-7658

This Irish pub owned by Dublin-native Feargal McKinney opened in 2021 but already has an old soul feel. Dark, heavy, wooden furniture and old-world accoutrements provide cozy niches for couples or small groups. The main seating area connects to a covered deck with picnic tables for an open-air, big-city energy. It serves classic bar food with a sprinkling of Tex-Mex and a few vegan offerings. McKinney even brought over a few menu favorites from his other spot, The Old Monk. Whoever picks the soundtrack here deserves a gold star; we need more ‘80s rock. The beer menu includes imports, — Paulaner Hefeweizen, Hoegaarden — and local beers such as Deep Ellum and Lakewood Temptress.
