Paddywagon Irish Pub Dr. Phillips

Nice Irish bar employees are friendly & attend to your needs.

I am extremely disgusted after my most recent visit here and I will not be returning because of it. I have been to this bar a few times prior and never experienced having dirty glasses until tonight. I did not have an issue with the first bartender that served us. The one I have an issue with is the one with the beard that was wearing a cowboy hat. I had ordered a second round for my friend and I for a peanut butter whiskey drink- her glass looked clean, while mine appeared used and unclean because there was a hair on the edge of the glass and other particles. I told the bartender this, and he took the drink away- which I was at first appreciative of because in this case, you would assume they would take the same drink and just pour it in a different glass and serve it to you; but he did come back with a different glass and a fresh drink. The problem is, this glass also had a tiny hair on the edge of it, which I ignored at that point because I didn’t want to seem like a hassle. But what really pissed me off was the fact that when I came to finishing the drink, I noticed that there was a hair in the glass at the bottom. That is what really disgusted me because one thing I can’t stand is finding hair in my food or drink, which I think many people can agree with. There is a significant lack of attentiveness to the cleanliness to your glasses, and it being a busy evening is no excuse. Hygiene should be a number 1 priority for any food/beverage establishment. If it’s that busy of a night, do you just empty out the previously used glass and pour another drink in there to serve to your paying patrons? Because that’s what it seemed like. I will be contacting corporate regarding this, because it is absolutely unacceptable especially for a location like that of Dr Phillips. I am beyond disgusted and disappointed. Edit: I am responding here since I can’t reply directly to the owners response. I expected nothing less of his reply based on the previous responses he left to highly dissatisfied patrons. As an adult/business owner, I highly recommend you conduct yourself in a more mature/professional manner if you want to continue to have a successful business. The reviews to your establishment are valid and concerning. Your response(s) are what’s laughable and you have no concept of what decent customer service is. With that kind of attitude, you will end up being the very demise to your business since your representation of it reflects poorly. You are very passive aggressive and petty- if you want to discuss my personal reviews that have nothing to do with yours, you can see I’m relatively balanced in leaving both positive and negative reviews. And regardless of that matter, my reviews are from my experiences, and the point of leaving them is to let you know as an owner, what either needs to change or how fabulous the experience was- which is why I left the one I did with your bar. The only reason why I put a higher review for the atmosphere was not because of the look of your place at all, but rather the wonderful people that were there. On that note, hire staff that cleans thoroughly, including your bathrooms. I have plenty of friends, coworkers, and family who love Irish style bars, so I will be sure to alert them of my experience and what kind of individuals run this establishment. Good luck with your business and I hope you realize you need some serious work on your awful demeanor and disgusting bar.

Not touristy like most establishments in this city. Dive bar vibe, but I had fun. Would come back.

It's a fun irish pub house for what it's worth, D.j plays well and interesting crowd of all walks of life.

We always enjoy ourselves here. Great bartenders *edited 12.23.23
