Great bar. Awesome beer selection along with liquors, wines, etc. So many TVs to watch all of the games on. Phenomenal bartenders (shout out to Melissa, Tammy, and Rob). It’s our second time here (visiting from Cape Coral) and will return every time in downtown Tampa.-MM
The staff is so great! I went to watch a bolts game and everyone at the bar was engaged!Mel is absolutely the MVP there!
Great environment and a friendly staff!
After a night in channel side i recommended this bar to my cousin who is visiting from Canada mind you she is 11 years older then me. We gave Rob our ID’s to check and he asked her for a second proof of ID she had 3 CC with her name on it her health insurance card with her PICTURE DATE OF BIRTH AND ADDRESS he still had the nerve to ask her for her passport! Why would she carry her passport around when she has all proof of identification. We go to this bar often they hardly ever ID us so it was weird that he would not allow us to have a drink. I go to that bar with younger looking crowd often. We go with my bestfriend from Wisconsin never have they asked for second form of ID. I have the text alerts and I have asked them to stop and I no longer will be going there. The security knew Rob was in the wrong knowing my cousin is of age to drink. I am 24 she is 35. Honestly Rob is the WORST
I have mixed feelings about Paddy Wagon. I will say that it’s a nice bar with decent space inside and outside (about 8 or so outdoor tables under cover), with one pool table and dart boards. They have plenty of televisions to watch a game, and the bartender seemed cool.I took off a star because there’s really no reason to call this an Irish pub. Pubs serve food, which this place does not. Serving Guinness and having some Guinness posters on the wall doesn’t make you an Irish pub. This is basically a modern bar with some Irish decorations and club music. That doesn’t mean it’s not a cool place, but I would never call it an Irish pub. Aside from all that it’s a nice spot to grab a drink in downtown Tampa, just don’t expect a pub.
While enjoying our trip to Tampa my hotel recommended going to the Paddy Wagon Irish Pub , we were told it was a great place to go. Our Bar tender Rob was not very pleasant nor was he very attentive to the patrons . He seemed to want to be someplace else rather than work. The bar was slow with only 5 patrons and Rob was not very cordial nor was he willing to wait on anyone in a timely manner. He seemed annoyed with our questions about the area and was off putting in his demeanor. Another Bartender Melissa came on shift and was very helpful and gave great service. As Rob was our Bartender we asked for more drinks and he ignored us. Then Melissa stepped on to help. Rob was rude and ignored the patrons. We then gave him a bad review. He asked if we did and we said yes! You are rude. He then cashed us out and said finish your drinks and leave “ how dare you mess with my livelihood ” we said we would. A reminder minutes later he asked us to leave again with out our drinks being finished and then threatened to call the police. To have us leave. Rob has poor customer service skills and a chip on his shoulder, maybe some additional training is required for him. Melissa asked what was going on and we explained about the review and she said “ that’s your right” she then said that she was sorry our evening was ruined and hoped it wasn’t our last visit. She apologized for Robs poor customer service and his bad demeanor .
