Poor Phil’s Bar and Grill is located at 139 S Marion St., Oak Park, IL 60302.

It’s the pub with the biggest beer menu in Oak Park, from boutique brews by the bottle and on draft, snakebites galore, or black and tans. 

That’s all thanks to Dennis Murphy, known by many as the dean of Oak Park restaurateurs. Murphy, who opened his first place here in 1975, calls himself instead the father of a flock of kids. And rather than talking about how diners at Poor Phil’s differ, he turns conversation to what they share: Every table has a centerpiece anchored with an American flag. 

Open 7 days a week:

MONDAY – THURSDAY     7am – 1am
FRIDAY     7am – 2am
