We met here for Ladies Connection Book Club and had such a great experience. The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating for our group. We never felt rushed, and everything flowed smoothly. The food was delicious across the board. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're catching up with friends over a meal. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, making it an easy place to relax and enjoy good conversation. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it for both small gatherings and group meetups. read more

We've been here twice. The staff is very nice. Anytime we've gone in, they're good to us. My only bad customer service experience was my boyfriend trying to come in to use the bathroom and being told he had to pay because they were doing some kind of event. He just wanted to be chaperoned. Aside from that, good. Drinks are alright. My boyfriend is a wimp when it comes to alcohol, and maybe it's because of that, but their Long Island Iced Tea had a bite to it. If you're not sitting at the bar, you have to go up to it to order. There were a lot of people who didn't know that sitting around for a server looking to leave. The only thing that makes it awkward is that when it comes to drinks, it feels like you have to stay and wait for them to come back with the drink. With food, they'll bring it out to you. My main issue is that we came in on a Friday. I don't know if this is an every week thing, but for this week, it was a Fish Fry Friday. We were told that we couldn't order off the regular menu until 7:00, and it was 4:00 when we got there. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt - on one hand, it's a special and they want to sell them, on the other, I don't want to sit around for three hours waiting to eat something. It wasn't a huge issue, we got our drinks and went to Tacos el Paisa. It kind of sucks to sit around for so long not being able to eat. Food's decent, but not overwhelmingly amazing. It can get pretty loud in here, avoid Live Music Nights like the plague. read more

Awesome environment and staff. Food average. GreaT meeting place. Drink prices good. .

Food was good, and service was good! They don't technically have table service, as you are supposed to order from the bar. But the bar keep asked after us several times as she was doing other things (changing TV stations, delivering food, etc). So above and beyond the "order at bar". Good beer selection as well. Food was good, but avoid the wings. They were on special when we were there, and not worth it - even if they were free. Ruben was good though. Atmosphere is fun. They have pool tables, darts, etc. Lots of talking/laughing/etc, but not so loud as to have to shout, or really even raise your voice to have conversation at the table. I was only visiting the area, but if I lived there, it would be a regular stop. read more

This place is horrible. They charge you $50 no matter what when you pay with card. The waiters tip whatever they want then you get 'money back in the morning'. Do not go here unless you are paying cash. Horrible business model and establishment. Plenty of places to go in Richmond and this is not the one. read more

My initial impression was not good because the bartender didn't know what beers they had other than reading the tap handles, so I just ordered a PBR. I'm guessing he was new. Afterwards a more experienced bartender took over and everything was fine after that. I had some excellent conversations with the patrons and some staff and then went home. I've been back several more times and I have been meeting more people and everyone seems to be very friendly. The food is good and you get a lot of it. I have met one of the owners and had a great conversation with him. On the whole I am pleased that I have a watering hole as close as this is to my house and I see that I will be something of a regular there. read more

Paddy Wagon Irish Pub - Whiskey - Nightlife Near Me - Richmond, Kentucky

If I could leave zero stars I would! Was in there tonight having a blast until they changed shifts! Suddenly there was a bartender named Cadaan who decided to take my drink for no reason!! When I confronted him he gave me another drink, I left the bar again and stood at a table behind and he took my full drink! Asked him why, and he asked me why I didn't take it with me!! Totally messed up!!! He knew I was there yet still took my drink!! When I got mad and didn't use sweet language he refused to serve me again!!! I was a bartender for 20+ years. I know the boundaries!! I did not cross a line! Background: my daughter worked there and would not give him the time of day! So he's going to hold me responsible!! Cadaan is a complete POS who should not be working for anyone ever!! Will not be back!!! read more

I had some had best beer cheese and pretezl's I've had in Kentucky. Great beer selection, beercheese burger is awesome. However the service is hit or miss, seems like to have to be known to the staff to get good service. We saw several people get up and leave because they never got service. It is obvious unless you're friends with the bartenders don't expect service. They have 15 people working there and none of them bother to ask you if you would want to order a drive. We first sat down and didn't get service so figured you had to order at bar. Went to bar two separate times only to be completely ignored. First bartender looked at me and went right back to talking about her night with some guy. Went to other side and Male bartender looked at me, turned away and started watching football game. Bouncer or whatever he was at and continued to stare at me and wife yet nobody ever waited on us. I realize were not regulars but WOW, that's awful service. As a former bar owner myself, I was pretty shocked at the way we were treated. We will never return. Probably won't go back. I understand people are short-staffed right now, but even a slight acknowledgement would have made a difference. Been to many an Irish Pub, this is not an Irish Pub. I'd describe this as more of a college sports bar with Irish decor. Ordering at the bar is typical in Ireland and Europe however the frozen fish sticks and burnt oil is far from anything authentic. So are the packet sauces, plastic bowls, and half dressed college female bartenders more interested in their cell phones and social gossip. First time in with high hopes, unfortunately won't be back. read more

It would have been nice if there was a sign on the front door that says no kids. My wife and I walked in here to meet some other soccer parents from EKU. The bar tender asked to see my 14 year old down syndrome son ID. Please make it clear on the front door NO KIDS. Have a wonderful day. Mark L read more

The Rubin and Tots as good as they look. TOTS ARE EVIL! But oh so good. If they only had at least one good rum! At least Bacardi Anjou or my favorite Diplomatico, a Venezuelan rum. But this is Kentucky. A whiskey state if there is one. And no Coca Cola. Cheap rum and Pepsi...Paaalleeessse! No Coke in site! I'm ok, I'll get over it. Great place and staff and the best bar food in town. So four stars for the Wagon, but for my sake how about some middle shelf rum and a can of Coke! read more

Great hangout ! Got the name from the clerk at our hotel. Turned out to be just about perfect. Good selection of beers etc and food was also very good. We're offered sample of drinks before ordering and waitstaff was very friendly. Was our first time here but would definitely recommend and come back I'd we're in the area again read more

A chill drinking spot in downtown Richmond, the Paddy Wagon is a great neighborhood bar. Street parking out front is a bit scarce, though it seems to park anywhere on the block and walk up. The Wagon features at least twenty beers on tap with a few reserved for local brews. There is more than ample seating, both at the full wraparound bar and low and high tops scattered outside of them. I bought a round of three pints for $18, tip included. The bar also features a number of spirits, whiskey being the predominant one. We saw a local musician in the middle of a tune-up and signs indicate local talent playing several nights a week. We also saw pool, a golf game, and on-screen gambling for entertainment. The bathrooms could use a fewer Trump 2016 graffiti markings. Thankfully, someone knew to scratch through them and the nod to Wu Tang Clan is always appreciated. read more

The bar closes at 12, not 1. We came on St. Patrick's day and they kicked us outside at 12am.

I wish i could leave a 0 star. The bar itself seemed fine. Plenty of space, pool tables, and a large patio. The bartenders were extremely rude. Every female there acted as if making a drink was a hassle for them. They seemed very understaffed, so i gave them the benefit of the doubt but there was no reason for them to be as rude as they were. For this reason i will not be back and i will be sure to tell everyone about my experience. read more

Cheap strong drinks and best fried pickles during my Kentucky trip. Our server was awesome. Definitely a divey college bar and the decor doesn't really lend to the "irish" theme but great place to enjoy a quick drink or two. read more

The fish and chips is amazing! As far as finding good fried cod goes in ky, this is the place to find it!

Paddy Wagon is open bor business! We were there on the second night they were open and the service and food were out of this world. Both owners were on-site, so everyone was hopping. Nice crowd,food came out quick and hot. We don't get this way often, but we'll be back. read more

Great place with limited parking. The cost of drinks are cheap! I had 4 drinks and it was only $14. Live music adds to the fun environment. Bonus - they have Keno! read more

I moved here 5 weeks ago, I haven't had a moment to enjoy a night out, dine in, have a beer. I love Irish pubs, thought I'd give it a try. I walk in to be carded by a door man with a personality of a door stop. I then sit down at the corner of a bar. There were 4 bartenders, 3 guys one female. Everyone of the male bartenders walked past me, none of them acknowledged me as if i was invisible. Surprisingly enough i wasn't. I was there roughly 8 minutes the last minute I was there I started recording myself getting ignored. Bringing attention to myself the female bartender finally came my was and asked what I wanted. I asked her how many bartenders are going to walk pass me before I can get a beer. She then acknowledged that she saw that and very genuinely asked what can I get for you. The male bartenders finished up taking care of other patrons passed me up and took care of someone else 3 times. The female was talking to the same patron until she finally noticed me. I'm a 35 year old average man trying to get a beer in a college town and that is exactly how I felt as I was walking out. I just explained to the bartender that I was in a good mood trying to get a good beer, I'll take my money somewhere that's receptive to that. College bar, self absorbed bartenders. read more

The owner let's all the staff vape in the pub. The place was dirty and not well kept. I was hungry but after seeing the inside of this place I wouldn't order their freezer food anyway. The bartenders weren't welcoming and it was harder than it should have to flag one down to get a drink. Overall bad experience. read more

Best bar to go to in Richmond. Friendly atmosphere, huge selection of booze, and their food is even good. Ask for a grilled cheese and you will receive the cheesiest, perfectly grilled sandwich you've ever put in your mouth. If you're into the whole crowded, vomit on the floor, array of student life scene then go on the weekends - duh. If not, go during the week; say mid-afternoon for some peace with your suds, or talk to some friendly elder locals, ya know. There are plenty of seats around the 360 bar. Lots of seating around the walls - small tables, large tables for groups, tall tables, there's even a patio in the rear. And there are two pool tables, and some TVs for those of you who can't fathom going two hours without watching some basketball. read more

By far the best atmosphere in Richmond for a drink or a solid meal. Bartenders are excellent and the beer selection is great. read more

Paddy Wagon Irish Pub - Interior 360 bar - Nightlife Near Me - Richmond, Kentucky

So here it is... The bar itself looks nice, modern old wood and open. 2 pool tables, tv's and a generous amount of customers to mingle with. The menu is very limited however and no Bangers & Mash (the search continues). There was a lot of beer choices for you IPA, lager, ale and blah blah fans. The service is pleasant enough if you ever get lucky enough to get their attention. Honestly, I didn't even order any food, took so long to get a menu that I didn't want to risk how long it would take to get my food. As always my phone was almost dead, no outlets to be found save for the one in a lonely corner. (Not my style) Eventually they finally let me pay for my drinks and I went across the street to Madison Garden for my meal and a few more drinks. The service there is more attentive and the phone needed the charge. read more

Paddy's is the best bar in this college town! Cheap beers and cheap mixed drink/shot specials during the week. They have pool tables and few games in the back. The outdoor patio is great during summer months! Sometimes the music is too loud & the bartenders don't know what's on tap. It would be so easy for them to hang a beer list on the bar so that customers could see what they have.. it is typically too dark and loud to ask or see what beers are on tap. Regardless, I will keep coming back! read more

If I could give a negative star I would. Very non police friendly we were having a good time and when the bar made a mistake and sent over two pitchers the manager who said that his name was Silas Smith threw out one of our group because he told him not to be an ass hole. So I attempted to go and talk to said manager and he told me that my buddy was being a fucking ass hole so I told him that he just did the same thing that he accused my friend of doing and that was bull shit then he threw me out. Very horrible establishment. I will never be back inside this bar and recommend that no office ever go to this bar. I told this guy this and he said that he did not care if we ever come back!! I feel that he and his establishment is not police friendly or cares if we ever spend any money there again. Reggie Latham read more

My husband and I like to come have a drink here on occasion. Thursday nights we like to observe during the trivia. Beers on tap are sometimes limited but my husband can always enjoy a scotch if his beer is unavailable. The atmosphere is ok, the prices are reasonable. The food options are pretty much a fried option, but tasty if in the mood for fat read more

Good place to get a beer or shot and eat a bite but most of the (male) bartenders are dicks. They treat women like shittttttt and get fucked up on the job. I mean, I'm fine with my bartender having a shot with me or something but these dudes take it to another level and get sloppy by the end of their shift. You can't trust them!!! The owner especially seems weird. All the women working there seem cool but I'm almost a little worried for them! :/ Sadly, it's one of the only "good bars" in Richmond. Hope these dudes get a grip!!...cause if they did, it would be the only "good bar" in Richmond. I tried to post this three times. It made me pick how many stars I wanted. I had to choose, so I chose one star. If I could have, I would have chose no stars... because these dudes are creeps. read more

This is a good local place to hang out with friends. I have visited this place twice and on both occasions they have live music; it was very good. The bartenders provided an outstanding service. I haven't try the food, but noticed everything is deep fried; at least the one that were served around me. read more

Been awhile since I've been here, but I always remember it. Paddy Wagon stands out in my mind as one of the best places to grab a bite and a brew in Richmond. On the weekends they normally have live music as well. read more

Nice service but some women just get too drunk there. It seems like snooki found her way to Kentucky the other night and flashed her stuff to the whole world when she fell. Other than their cut off policy its an OK place read more

The pub is wonderful! However, every female bartender was extremely rude, acted like they were miserable to be there and were definitely lacking in bartending experience. One of them even pushed a 20% tip back to me as if it wasn't good enough for her. I tried asking her about an event at the pub called the crawl and she got annoyed and started rolling her eyes at me as if she didn't want to explain it to me. After trying 3 different bartenders I finally found a guy that could make a decent drink. Great place but the service definitely ruined my experience. I'd probably go back if they'd hire more pleasant bartenders that knew how to make drinks. read more

I have been going to Paddy's for 3 years and as of lately the entire place does not seem to care about anything. We have attempted to order food the last couple of times and it always takes close to an hour to deliver it and it never fails that something comes out cold. They did what they needed to do which was get us fresh food out ASAP and scratch 20%. But if you want to survive that is not always the solution, plus do not forget this was all almost 2 hours later...I do not foresee myself ever being back. read more

What can I say? 50+ beers on tap, at least 6 Big Screen TVs, friendly bartenders, and the standard pub food fare. If you want to get away from the chains, this is a good place to have a beer. They also have a couple of pool tables, and a nice outdoor area. All in all, I will go back when I am in town, if only for the eclectic selection of draft beer. read more

I went this past weekend and it's a great place for beer, friends and KY hoops. Josh is the bartender to see for great service. It's a really great pub with really great chips. Get a basket for each person to avoid chip battles. They're that good. read more

It's a good bar don't get me wrong... But it's not a user friendly bar.. If your looking for a bar where you can sit relax and enjoy a beer and some friendly conversations with your local bartender this isn't the place for you. If your looking for a bar to watch a football game with a bunch of screaming college kids then this ones for you. It has it's ups and downs.. But with out a doubt the best Richmond has to offer read more

Clean, new local bar/restaurant in a completely rebuilt building in downtown Richmond. (Their previous building burned down.) Small food menu, but then it is a bar. Good, friendly service, with one or both owners often hanging around. Large outdoor deck. Frequent live (local) music at night. (If only they could mix an Old Fashioned. Hasn't any bartender in Richmond heard of that great bourbon drink that was invented down the road in Louisville?) read more

I love the Paddy Wagon. It's a great place to grab a drink. The staff is upbeat and energetic. It's easy to get a drink. Kind of a quiet bar not too rowdy. Serves both the older and younger crowd. read more

Nice open bar with great food! Plus everyone is really nice! Especially the owner! Great guy tons of great stories and fun to be had. A lot better when college is out. read more

Best burgers in Richmond. Awesome draft beer selection, I believe there's over 50 on tap. Again the burgers are great as are the pub fries. If you want to go somewhere new for a great burger givem a try! read more

8 months ago i went to Paddy's for a beer and food and was very disappointed. This time I knew better but hoped things changed. Same bad table service, if you wave like a mad man they may decide to come over, but don't expect them to check to see how the food is or to get a drink refill. and the food was again - Burger was DRY (If you press a burger on the grill it pushes out all the moisture/juices ) - Shepherd pie - was a frozen pot pie. but yet again the beer choices are there. read more
