    Haddock fish and chips
    David F.

    We were looking for a new lunch place in Mendocino and some locals had suggested Patterson's Pub. We came by in the early afternoon and most tables were filled, but their large outside area was mostly available - even better. Our server was super friendly, offering helpful suggestions and making everything enjoyable. I had their classic half pound burger with cheese, made from Angus beef. My wife was excited about the fish and chips - they offered haddock as an option, instead of the usual cod. She has been spoiled by London's haddock-based fish and chips , and ever since has trouble getting enthused about cod fish and chips. When asked, two different servers heartily agreed haddock was their favorite. The meal was very good. My wife was well satisfied with her haddock and fries, and my hamburger definitely hit the spot. Good lunch spot discovery.

    Chicken Pot Pie

    This place was so good, we had dinner here twice during our 4 day stay in Mendocino! They have seating outside on a large patio (with heaters) and in the smaller inside area next to the bar. The decor is eclectic, which many interesting things displayed everywhere. On our first visit, we started with a bowl of New England Clam Chowder ($13). This was great! It was thick with clams and even passed my "spoon test", which is being able to support the spoon standing vertically in the soup without falling over. It passed the test due to the thick soup with lots of clams. (See photo). We each had the Chicken Pot Pie ($22) from the daily special menu. This was delicious and thick and topped by a puff-pastry like thick topping. They also make Irish Coffee ($11) that was perfect. Just as good as the Buena Vista Bar in San Francisco (where this cocktail was invented). On our second visit, two nights later, my wife had a French Dip sandwich with sweet potato french fries ($22). She found it enjoyable and very good. I had a Patty Melt ($22) which was delicious. They make an espresso martini ($14) that is delicious! On both visits, the service was quick and friendly. Note: This places charges a 3% fee to pay by credit card.

    I can't believe I forgot to post a review from our summer trip to Mendocino. I could have easily eaten here more than once. Patterson's definitely delivers on the classic pub feel on the inside with a large outdoor seating area. We sat in the beer garden and watch the World Cup. We ordered the chicken pot pie and the fish and chips. Both were delicious. My husband said it was the best fish and chips he's ever had.

    All kinda beers on tap!

    Always Trust the Gift Shop Lady. Always. We had just conquered the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse--which apparently requires climbing three flights of "not-quite-normal" stairs. After a morning canoe down the Big River and those stairs, we turned into ravenously hungry people. We asked the gift shop lady for food recommendations. Without skipping a beat, she said: "Patterson's Pub! If you get there before 2:00 PM, you can get brunch!" Challenge accepted. We took our appetites straight to Mendocino's main drag. They had a tented patio in the sunny-but-stubbornly-windy Mendocino air, but we opted for the interior. Good choice. It has the ultimate "Authentic Irish Pub" starter pack: Cool and dark? Check. Crisp draft beers? Check. Full bar? Check. The SF Giants game playing on multiple screens? Check and check. We successfully beat the 2:00 PM brunch buzzer, and the specials menu looked to good to pass up! Lobster Wontons (Pub Special): Gone in a literal flash. Blink and you missed them. Crabcakes Benedict (Pub Special): Hands down, the best this diner has ever had. The hollandaise sauce (which they kindly served on the side per request) was a lemony deliciousness! The Comfort Food Crew: The rest of the party ordered clam chowder (Boston), garlic bread, and a fried cod sammy with thin-cut fries. All around lip-smacking! The Liquid Refreshment: Paired it all with a half-pint of Scrimshaw Pilsner (shoutout to local Fort Bragg brewing). It hit the spot and paired perfectly with the crabcakes benedict! The "Too Spicy" Drama: We did hit one minor speed bump. One of the dishes turned out to be a bit too spicy for one of our sensitive diners (not me). The waitstaff deserve a medal here. They went out of their way to try and "de-spice" the meal. While my companion's tastebuds were past the point of return, the staff's effort and sweetness were noticed and much appreciated! . Excellent customer service. The Verdict: A wonderful, perfect meal for a weekend getaway in the Mendocino/Fort Bragg area. We will absolutely be back. Let this be a lesson to you all: always ask a local!

    Great place to stop! Went in over Memorial Day weekend and we grabbed a spot at the bar. We had a beer and espresso martini. The martini was okay- very strong. We had the chicken Ceaser wrap and the crab cake special. Their dressing is delicious! We were so hungry I didn't even take food pics! Service was great.

    What a fantastic, traditional Irish pub. Had we not enjoyed dinner prior to stopping in, we would have absolutely eaten here. The food passing by had our heads turning and noses sniffing. The bartender was delightful and made nice conversation. The staff chats amongst each other like they truly enjoy working together. It was nice to see. Many of the folks inside were regulars. Mendocino's charm is like nothing else. Can't wait to return. Be sure to enjoy the courtyard area. Makes a great family dinner spot or date night.

    Bloody Mary and a mimosa.
    Matthew T.

    Stopped in two days ago to start our day with a Bloody Mary for me and a mimosa for my wife. The Bloody Mary was hand made from scratch in front of us. It was delicious! For the mimosa, they give you fresh orange juice, and a bottle of champagne. So you get a little bit more than one glass of mimosa. We always stop into Patterson's pub while we're in town, for a drink and/or a meal. Last night we stopped in for dinner. It was very busy. It was about a 15-20 minute wait. But we were able to sit out back by a fire pit and order a drink while we waited. Got to meet some other folks passing through the area. Good conversation. For dinner I ordered the turkey burger with tater tots. It was perfect. Perfectly cooked with fresh lettuce, tomato onions, etc. Even the roll was perfect. My wife is a vegetarian and got the patty melt with the black bean garden burger. She got steak fries as her side. She was also very happy with her meal. The ambience here is pure Irish pub. Very friendly staff and clientele. If you're passing through the area, definitely recommend taking a break at Patterson's pub for a drink and or a meal.

    Great service. Nice patio and good food. Came here for dinner with a party of 10. Everyone loves what they ordered. We didn't make any reservations but was easily seated. I recommend this place when you are around the area.

    Soup and sandwich lunch deal. Tomato bisque and a cheese and bacon sandwich.
    Sara M.

    Staci was a great server! It was slow to start but once we got drinks, things were smooth. We sat outside which was very nice. Table ordered side Cesar salads with steak and their lunch special which was a cheese & bacon sandwich with a cup of tomato bisque. Delicious, great portions and quality.

    IPA

    Visited Patterson's Pub at the end of January and had a blast. It was very busy on a Saturday afternoon but we were able to get seated right away. The atmosphere was nice as everyone had smiles all around. We started off with some Irish Coffees which was a nice way to begin our meal. Next, we shared a cup of clam chowder as we didn't want to ruin our appetite. Their clam chowder had my girlfriend and I in complete shock as it was that GOOD! She said I was more excited about the food than when she said yes to me asking her out! We finished off with ordering an IPA to have with our Fish&Chips. This was honestly the best fish and chips I've had. The tartar sauce was so flavorful and paired well with the fish, our server even gave me extra as I devoured the one that was meant to be shared haha. Please stop by and give it a try, you won't be disappointed! 10/10

    Easy parking

    We sat at the bar and service was good. Clams special with wine herb broth was very tasty, recommend side salad was much better than the Caesar salad. We also enjoyed the clam chowder. Restaurant was clean and staff were friendly. Lots of TVs and memorabilia on the ceiling and walls

    Killer Nachos for the WIN!

    This spot was recommended by a volunteer at the Point Carrillo Lighthouse and she was right! The back patio is fantastic a, the service was great and the food menu diverse. Highly recommend.

    Jalapeño poppers, coconut shrimp, chicken tenders, garlic cheese bread
    Raymond Y.

    Great spot in Mendocino! One of the few places that are open late, so it was well appreciated to have a nice and cozy spot open. Came here with a group of 6, and we ordered a bunch of apps to share. I loved the jalapeno poppers and the coconut shrimp--poppers were absolutely stuffed with cheesey goodness, and I liked the fragrant coconut flavor from the crispy breaded shrimp. I also really liked my bison burger and thought it was particularly juicy and fresh. Super nice staff as well!

    Ask the Community - Patterson's Pub

    Do they offer their regular menu on Sundays, or just their brunch menu?

    It says 21 and over only. Even in the restaurant? We can't bring our 20-year-old daughter there to have lunch?

    As far as I know outside would be fine.

    Kombucha on tap?

    Yes Patterson's Pub does. It is Booch Craft Grapefruit Hibiscus.

    Is this place dog friendly?

    Of Course in our Graden

    Will Patterson's be showing the 49ers game this morning?

    The Pub has 7 TVs inside and 2 outside under the tent.

I could get half a draft beer, there's a nice outdoor area, a cool bar cat that I became fond of, live music on Friday nights, and the staff is pretty awesome. The last time I went there was 4 weeks ago and unfortunately I will not go there again. My partner went there (he's also been there before) looking to see if I was there because I told him I was going there to retrieve my umbrella I had left there the night before. He was treated quite disrespectfully, even was threatened to have the cops called if he didn't get out of "his " parking lot. Mind you, this was during the day and my partner wasn't causing any trouble, he was just looking for me. This act alone was enough for me to decide that I wouldn't go there again. I understand people have bad days but when they are in service industry, you need to check that shit at the door before you start your shift. After all, the customer is paying their salary.

Hosts were super friendly, just like the last time, so no complaints there at all. Overall, this escape room was much, much better than the Charlie's Candy Shop escape room. It felt much more intuitive, and the clues were written clearly, which made the experience more enjoyable. The only issue we experienced was in the second room, during the part where you use the dowsing rods to find the letters on the wall which are needed to open the safe. We weren't able to get any readings from the dowsing rods, we weren't sure if the magnets were not strong enough or if something else was affecting it. We ended up calling the host for help, and she was very nice and helpful. She gave us a hint about using a specific word on the metal board, and we immediately understood which five-letter word she meant. That hint worked perfectly for us.
