Stopped in on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy. Despite the crowd, the service was excellent. They've got a good mix of seating with indoor tables, bar seating, and an outdoor area. Big bonus: they hand out complimentary hot dogs, which is such a fun and unexpected touch. Oh, and their peanut butter shots are amazing! Overall, great service, lively crowd, and just an easy, fun place to hang out. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. They have posters in their entrance with a $5 Guinness promotion. Nope. 10 each. Do not come if you expect that to be honored. read more

Patrick's Gaslamp Pub - Redbreast 12 - Pubs Near Me - San Diego, California

Had a great time popping in here on a random week night with a friend. The bartender was friendly and nice despite having a relatively large group to handle during a weeknight. I thoroughly enjoyed the complementary hot dog to wash down my beer and shot! read more

Patrick's Gaslamp Pub - Pubs Near Me - San Diego, California

Small spot with a fun vibe! Drinks are average priced. Seating was tight but worth it for a pop in visit. Service was quick and easy!

This place is everything you'd hope for in a downtown Gaslamp bar: welcoming, lively, and just downright fun. What truly sets it apart though? The people. Massive shoutout to LEXI, the bartender whose energy and warmth transformed our evening, and EUGENE, part of the staff team who made sure everything ran smoothly. Their enthusiasm and genuine hospitality are the reasons I'll keep coming back. I literally went Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday because I wanted to see Lexi and Eugene. Bonus points for their perfect Guinness draft pours (yes, the kind that hits the spot every time) and the surprisingly delicious house-made peanut butter shots, a quirky but unforgettable treat. Can't wait to return!! read more

Great drink selection. Delicious food. Very cute & cozy inside. Perfect Irish pub! Staff is top notch!!

Damn so this is what its like for a city to have a night life. We stubbled upon this pub when trying to get into one of the "poppin'" ones with the hella long ass lines. Gaslamp when we went for a bach party was CRACKIN'. Hella people and it was just a random weekend. We saw this Irish pub and was just the best of times. The interior is pretty narrow and at the back there is a stage for a live band. Not sure what the schedule or regular music is but the blues was just PERFECT. Prices weren't too bad and the bartender was quick with it considering a packed night. Would definitely come back here if I was local. It was also a nice break for the bar hopping because it was chill yet packed compared to the other pricey fancy looking spots. read more

Odd that nobody was in the pub the Sunday night we came in for a few drinks except a bartender, his trainee, and a security guard who had just washed away some vomit off the sidewalk. The cozy place was nice and dark (thanks to a dimmer switch according to the training we witnessed), the main light coming from the TV playing Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Plus, they had a ukulelist playing modern hits with live looping just like the authentic pubs of Ireland. read more

Popped in here on my way to a Padres game. The place was what you'd generally expect from a proper Irish joint. Irish beer and liquor, Irish decor, etc. Per usual for 95% of the businesses in the Gaslamp, they had no parking lot. I was there right at opening and the place wasn't crowded, so the service was prompt. I'd 100% return the next time that I'm craving a Guiness. read more

This is one of my go-to haunts downtown for several reasons. 1. They have live music every single night. 2. Despite being in the Gaslamp district, this bar is actually pretty easy to get into and isn't normally packed. That may suck for the bartenders, but it's great for locals. 3. They have complimentary popcorn using coconut or some other kind of vegetable-based oil that means that you get delicious, salty, vegan snacks for free. All in all, you get to see the same cast of bartenders at this place as well as the same cast of local artists that are performing. It feels really great to have a space in the community where you can get some consistency and start to meet people. read more

I stumbled into Patrick's after hearing reggae music from outside. It happened to be happy hour, and the drinks were great with a nice vibe. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service from Armando. I'll definitely be back because of him. read more

Great pub vibes, service was great. Their peanut butter Pat's Craic is great too: peanut butter whiskey.

Came here twice during our week long stay in SD. We always love a good Irish bar and this was no exception. My bf loves that we can reliably find Miller Lite, I love the selection of Irish whiskies though I usually opt for Red Breast. Also, who can resist a good pint o' Guinness! The bartenders were what made this place. Angela is loud and sassy and so funny and friendly. We had a great time talking to her and she was full of life! Jo was so sweet and great. When I decided to try a High Noon for the first time and she could see I was meh about it, she brought me some fruit to add to it to make it more delicious. She poured a delightfully strong old fashioned and gave us some great dinner recommendations. Irish bars are the best bars, and we loved Patrick's! Cheers! read more

Came into San Diego to celebrate my birthday and to go to Padres Opening Day ... stopped into Patrick's for a quick drink and loved it! Armando was behind the bar and he was awesome! Super personable, he let us know what the happy hour specials were and promoted live music later on in the night! Patrick's is a great, cozy Irish pub and we will definitely be back! read more

The ambiance is great there! Been there twice first time was great with knowledge bar tenders that have good craft. Second time we went there the bartenders were less knowledgeable and not as great service but it was still a good time! read more

My boyfriend and I came across this spot while walking Gaslamp on a Saturday night. It's a small place and had a good crowd going. We were able to get a table and watch the live music. Loved the ambiance, people were nice and cordial. I didn't see anyone drunk acting obnoxious which is what you will often on a Saturday night. Cons: there is no food and the jukebox was not working :( Overall I would come back here (We were supposed to do a few bars that night but we ended up staying there the whole night :) ) read more

Had a blast! Bar tender Kirstan was a perfect fit for the evening! This is the small, hometown feeling bar that the gaslamp needs! While the bartender was great, and the place comfortable, the live band playing blues seemed to drown on without any interaction w the patrons. The music between their sets was classic rock and perfect for chatting and having a few drinks. The bar lacks food which would be great. Just get munchies that need microwave! read more

The ambiance was perfect from the imported authentic Irish pub decor to the friendly bartender and perfect Guinness pour! We tried the sampler and that was INCREDIBLE! Shepherds pie, corned beef and cabbage, chicken boxty and Irish beef stew. As a recommendation the two of us shared and it was mouthwateringly delicious! Hope to come back! read more

One security asked "how much money is in your wallet right now?" assuming we couldn't afford drinks. Sir, we make more than you on an annual basis. With that attitude, why would we even buy drinks at this bar? So, we left. Please note that this doesn't apply to the security guard who checked our IDs. He was nice. read more

Great spot. Bartenders very friendly and attentive. Music was on point great DJ. When I'm back in San Diego will definitely go again

Sierra (bartender) and Marco (security) are both amazing! We had terrible service from a whiskey bar down the street that almost ended our night but we happened to come across this gem and I'm so glad! This is our new favorite spot in SD! The music was amazing, ambiance was great, prices were low, drinks were good, and most importantly, down to earth staff that genuinely wanted everyone to have a good time. This place felt like a safe haven amongst the rest of the SD chaos. No customers were out of line and everyone (all age ranges) were having a good time. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

It's not the blues bar it used to be. But it is a nice bar with good drinks. Friendly tender.

Awesome-sauce! No cover, heart of the Gaslamp. Amazing 3-piece band playing . Friendly, friendly staff! Not too crowded. I love this place! I can't believe places like this exist. 7 out of 5 stars. read more

Band was great and the atmosphere is good. On my complaint is that it's an Irish bar and they can't properly poor a Guinness!!! WTH!!'

Raucous, lively, what you should enjoy and expect! Music is more fun in this smaller space

Great place! Fun atmosphere! Great live music! Awesome bartenders! Great place to stop at for a bachelorette party.

Had a great time in gas lamp here. Free popcorn and trainee vic was great. Sierra did great too and the band was awesome.

Wandered out of Gaslamp Tavern and into Patrick's Gaslamp Pub. My second time here with Bex. Our friend who was out with us said he'd been in a time or two in the past. Mid-afternoon on a Saturday and the beer prices still seemed a bit steep. I expect it on a Saturday night with live music, but midday? We all felt a little less than welcome. Not "regulars". So we had one and moved on. Hey Gary! Smile once in a while! - It was like you had a bad golf game that morning. read more
