    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!!

    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.

    He's there at least once a month.

    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.

    Live music here!

    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.

    Perfect pour

    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!

    Two pints pls!

    Ask the Community - Patrick's Gaslamp Pub

    Are they a Buffalo Bills Bar?

    Yes we are.

    Do they let minors in?

    Call and ask, as it has been a while since we've stopped in. But my recollection is NO as they are not a bar restaurant.

    Their site has nothing to show as being open, yet here it says they are open. Are they or not?

    They just reopened!!!

    Are they open?

    No sorry, I wish they were!

    Does anyone know if Patrick's is ever going to reopen?

    Yes they are open again!!

    Are they open? Went by there today and it a Was all boarded up.

    Unfortunately, they are not open. I walk by every couple of weeks and there are no signs of life... yet

    This spot just gets it…read more I came through recently and was honestly excited before I even ordered food because they had a solid selection of NA mocktails. For a bar, that's not always a given, and as someone who doesn't drink as much these days, that immediately stood out to me. I grabbed a lavender leprechaun and it was super refreshing, light, and just a really nice change of pace from the usual soda-or-water options. It didn't feel like an afterthought, it actually felt intentional. For food, I went with the corned beef sandwich and it did not disappoint. Hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you'd want from a proper Irish pub. The whole place has that classic pub vibe but still feels welcoming whether you're drinking or not. That balance is rare, and I really appreciated it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially knowing I've got solid non-alcoholic options to enjoy.

I ordered the sampler that came with smaller portions of the beef stew, chicken boxty, shepherd's pie, and corned beef and cabbage.i think the stew was one of the ones i liked the best, it was hearty, the meat was tender, and the flavor was good. The chicken boxty could have used a little bit more flavor to the sauce, it tasted kind of bland. The shepherd's pie was the beef version, it was not the best I've had but still good. I feel like it also could have used just a bit more flavor or some salt. The corned beef and cabbage tasted like they added nothing to it to give it flavor, so i was a bit disappointed with it. However, the corned beef was pretty tender and i liked the taste. We also ordered the house burger which we liked. I liked the flavor the irish cheddar gave it. It came with fries, which tasted fresh and we enjoyed. It's pretty dark inside, and it definitely looks older, but that's the vibe they are going for. You almost feel transported to another time for sure. Yeah everything was in there The upstairs looks a little bit brighter, and in hindsight I wish we would have sat up there. I feel like downstairs is more for when you just want to have a drink and watch the game.

I hate leaving questionable reviews.. but also feel when we researched places we didn't get an accurate story. This is a true neighborhood pub.. the place you come so everybody knows your name. Which I love and can appreciate. But as an outsider it was kinda chaotic instead. A bartender came to clean a table for us. The largest grossest bugger hanging out of his nose, he had sweat marks so large there was no need to lift his arms to see them. He proceeded then to do shots at the bar with costumers. Which again... I totally can appreciate having a good time in a good neighborhood pub. The floors were so dirty around the booths. The menus dirty. Just over all couldn't stay and eat here. Did get some good laughs watching a few very inebriated customers, had some good drinks and went on our way. We personally wouldn't come back, but again if you live in the neighborhood and it's just that place you come to for your hang with friends, it's looks like it's a fun place.

His questions guided my indecision towards a Berkshire Old Fashioned that was fantastic despite my fumbling to get there. With the warm up round over and the old fashioned loosening up my creativity, round two was set to be a knockout. I love coffee (specifically strong espresso drinks), so I asked for a strong, coffee infused, punchy cocktail, but with a different base of alcohol from the old fashioned. What came out was the best cocktail I will probably ever have in my life. The bourbon cocktail with coffee liqueur (and a number of other garnishes I will never remember) hit the bullseye. Flavorful, strong, bold, delicious all at the same time. Unfortunately (?), this was a noble experiment so I'll forever be chasing the white whale of what this drink was. But that's the allure.

Right away when we arrived I noticed that the flooring on the revolving fireplace looked like it needed to be replaced. I shrugged it off thinking they needed light weight materials for the revolving floor entrence. But I didn't think it was a good look for what is supposed to be a swanky exclusive vibe and being the first thing you really see. ( First impressions are important) Despite having made a reservation, we were seated directly between the revolving entrence and the exit, in the two coolest looking but most uncomfortable chairs. They were not practical at all for sitting and conversing a in a loud environment. That corner, in my opinion, should be reserved for the hostess and not for guest. Initially we thought these chairs were a quick stop before being moved to some of the other available sitting at the bar or around the perimeter we could clearly see when we came in. We asked, and where told those were our seats. No offer was made to be moved. We did not get a server to come to us until after we had placed our drink order with one of the hostess, about 20min after we were seated. Our server was very nice and polite. No issues there, just took long to get to us. The drinks were disappointing. Forgettable to say the least. We ordered one of there menu items and a Moscow mule. We were sad to see the Moscow mule served in a glass you might normally get a mojito in ... it wasn't served in a copper cup. As we sat there and looked at the place, we both thought the ambiance and decor was nice. However we were surprised to see so many people looked very underdressed considering they have a "smart casual" dress code, completely destroyed the whole swanky exclusive vibe. Lots of men in shorts and both men and women in flip flops. I also noticed the flooring inside the speakeasy had similar wear and scuff marks, as on the fireplace. The need to update their flooring and the amount of underdressed guest did not help project the vibes that they are going for. This really felt like a fast food (drinks) chain in any mall. Sadly I would not recommend, do to the drinks not being all that good, the service was mediocre, the "vibe" and experience they sell fall short.
