Paddy O'Hara Irish Tavern

Nice place: Good beer, good prices and friendly people. Would return.

The best local spot for some awesome cocktails. The drinks are great but Sara is the main reason I go. She makes the best drinks and is gorgeous too! Alsways a good time at Paddys!

It was awesome. It was a great place to have a great time. Awesome service, great environment, and people. Definitely will recommend it. Visit them if you are in the area. I will next time in around.

Although we have lived close by for 4 years we never thought about stopping in till recently and we are glad we did. We were made to feel like regulars bu Ivory who provided excellent service. We ran into people we know also which made it fun.

I love Kendall. She is amazing and I love this place. Chris is amazing also. Awesome service and very professional. Could not ask for a better team behind the bar.

I looooove ivory!!! I literally go there just for her! I don’t drink too often honestly, but when I do she remembers what I like! I also like this location a lot. Always a good time here!

Love this bar! Sara is always so welcoming. You'd never know if she was having a bad day because she's always smiling and having a good time. She is the main reason we stop in (and the good beer choices 😉).

Have been coming here for years. Kendall, sam, Jackson, Jay, Jacob are the best! Definitely come check this place out just a chill place to kick back and have a couple drinks!

I went and visited this spot a few days ago and it was AMAZING!! Our bartender Ivory MacMillian was FANTASTIC!!! She knew everything about everything in regards to recommending and making drinks. She has a great personality (def a people person). She was welcoming and fun!! It was a GREAT experience!! I recommend this spot to anyone and everyone ANDDD be sure to ask for Ivory!!

If you’re looking for that friendly little neighborhood bar around the corner with a fun group of regulars and a laid back atmosphere - you’ve found the place! My favorite bartender Sara will whip you up a sophisticated cocktail or a nice cold craft beer with the perfect pour. This is a hidden gem - so go find it!

Love this place I'm here every weekend . Great service, good drinks, great ppl.

Jackson was super friendly. This chain is drinks only, no thc options but plenty of booze and beer. Top golf and AMI tunes available.

Great place great drinks. Danielle and Chris are here Wednesday through Saturday. 2 for 1 drinks are Monday and Wednesday. So excited!!

The best of the Paddy locations in Bradenton. Best bartenders, no indoor smoking, good service. Chill crowd.

Great local sports bar, fun crowd and fantastic bartenders!!!

Awesome place. Drinks are reasonably priced, Bartenders are great, and the vibe great. Highly recommended.

No food but I was there during a football game and they bought pizza for the patrons.

My Sister and I enjoy shopping and having a cocktail after at places we haven’t been to. After being SHUNNED at a place called Food + Drink, we discovered Paddy Wagon across the parking lot and so glad we did. Ivory helped turn a lousy experience into a very enjoyable afternoon. She makes a mean margarita and serves up great banter. Definitely will keep this as a “go to” place!

Ivori is a rockstar bar person. She made sure we had enough ice in our beverages and checked on us repeatedly. Great personality and “ruled” the bar. You don’t see that many places. Highly highly recommend. Great fun, cold beer and refreshing bevs.

Exactly what you'd expect from an Irish pub. Starting from nonchalant local atmosphere, non-pretentious floor (and patio) and fun friendly stuff to loud cheers for sports teams (and just in general) on many different screens. P.S. Get a Calusa :)

We love the atmosphere at Paddywagon. The place is excellent for watching sports and listening to music. Especially love the bartenders. They treat us like we are special. Kudos to our favorite bartender, Ivory…she is the sweetest and makes great drinks to boot!

Ivory is the most awesome bartender ever!! Love her !!! Honestly only come in when she’s working , she always makes you feel welcome and never is overwhelmed.

This place is amazing, all the bartenders really make you feel like your at home. We could sit here for hours and only have one drink while talking to the bartenders. Chris, Wes, Kendall, Ivory, Sarah, Kia all do an amazing job at making sure everyone leaves happy. Awesome crew on your hands.

I recently visited here for the first time with some friends, and it did not disappoint! I am not a huge drinker, but our bartender(Ivory) was so kind and had the most amazing recommendations. Definitely one of the best experiences I have ever had at a bar because of her:) I can’t wait to go back!

Love the experience this pub provides. It is simple....drinks and good, sometimes roudy, company. It is a great spot to go if you intend to have FUN. It is just the upbeat environment where one can meet friends. It is a mix between the dive bar feel that I personally love, and classy, good company. The bartenders know what they are doing as well. Very friendly and full of recommendations, and good conversation! 10/10 recommend.

Ivory was wonderful. Very welcoming and cheerful. I am a bartender and appreciate being treated so well! Thank you Ivory! We will be back !

I recently visited this place, such an amazing, clean and friendly environment. Ivory was our bartender, she was great!! Very helpful and friendly. She made the most amazing drinks.

I did watch the Real Madrid vs Chelsea there yesterday. All tvs had other stuff until I asked for the game she was sweet to put it on for me. Sarah gave me great service and called me by my name. That’s something I did like. Real Madrid won btw. They don’t serve food.

Great place unless you visit Tuesday through Friday during the day. Be prepared to wait for a cocktail and wait even Longer if you want to pay your tab. Ivory on the weekends and kia on Mondays are awesome and always on point.

Good place to go for a couple of cocktails or beers. There's no pool tables or any bar games, but plenty of TVs to watch sports. Nice smoke-free relaxing environment.

A bit noisy for my taste but the bartenders are totally on the ball, very attentive and knowledgeable. The list of craft brews on tap is quite impressive, including a particularly tasty wheat ale from Sarasota brewery JDubs.

Really nice outdoor seating area so was surprised that there is no kitchen and no food menu. Drinks were quickly made and prices average. Bartender professional.

Place was dead and drinks way too expensive. I'm sure it's better in prime time but if your going to serve less than 10 why even be open with those prices.

Bar Staff is very knowledgeable fast and always making sure they get to you or at least acknowledge you that's a Plus! I've managed and ran bars for many years this one is extraordinary clean! Love that you have to smoke outside unlike the one on Clark. Only thing I could say is it seems like the staff and a lot of people know each other and they're not very welcoming to newcomers that's all. Would have loved to get to know some people around the area. This is the right post I don't know why it posted only 2 stars?

They can serve a beer and mix your coke with rum or whiskey but not a whole lot more. Nice environment, clean bathrooms, and an outside seating area. No food.

There was this old man there (A Regular)trying to flash his retirement money to pick me up in minivan and offered me a place to stay with some other women he "Helps" financially out of the kindness of his heart.. Yeah sorry buddy that's kinda creepish. I have a home and a Job.. P.S. what's the hidden Catch to all the handouts ...My friends and I will not be coming back.

Kendall & Sam Are Amazing & Attentive Bartenders . Ask For Them When You Come In I Promise You Won’t Be Disappointed ! Update : I Lied . Very disappointed and embarrassed . Went here for my friends birthday because we come here often . I ordered my drinks and I’m standing at the bar waiting to pay . The bartender goes to the other end of the bar and has the people at my table get up to get the drinks and tab while I’m still waiting with the money … we enjoy the drinks . Leave cash on the receipt holding and hand it to one of the bar tenders . We leave go to get in our cars & the bartender chases us outside with a a terrible attitude saying we didn’t pay our tab . When we told her we paid it she said she didn’t see it .. When in fact we did . She chased us out before even checking . Kendall is very sweet always gives great service but that other little bartender . Hell no. I’m not sure if it was Sam or not .

We went to this bar to end the night with a group of 7 friends (most of us 22 and over). As soon as we walked in, my friend walked up to the bar to try to order a drink. After he handed the bartender his ID he walked away, mid-order, to ID the rest of the group. The only comment made by my group was confusion about why he walked away mid-order. The bartender with the white glasses was highly offended by this comment and proceeded to question how old we were. He barked that we had to be 21 to enter the bar, which was odd because they should ID at the door if that is the case. I immediately felt that the interaction was off so I asked said bartender for our ID's back so that we could leave. He then threw, like literally threw our ID back and said " okay then leave". He told me that I looked like a baby and that maybe I should grow a beard. Very rude considering I felt that I handled the situation with full respect. Wouldn't recommend if you want to have a good time!

The male bartender with the white rimmed glasses was very immature and disrespectful from the moment our group walked in. Immediately after entering the bar we were all accused of being underage and even after showing our IDs we were refused service and the bartender physically threatened one of our friends and belittled all of us. According to other reviews this seems like a common problem. There are plenty more exciting bars with infinitely better service in the area that I would rather recommend.

The bartender refuses to serve the table and said that she doesn't come out from behind the bar. Maybe 10 people in the entire bar. I saw no sign to that effect other than if you were outside. Very rude. Figured they would have been busier since Beefs had left the plaza. But I can now understand why they are not. I would not recommend them. Linksters at university must nicer.
