Paddywagon Irish Pub Dr. Phillips

Nice bar to relax, staff very nice and nice friendly, great atmosphere and and liked the decor too

Was visiting Orlando from Ireland was great to find a proper bar with good pints and a friendly bar man.

Bar Tender was awesome! Super friendly and personable. If I lived closer, this would be my go to spot.

Bartender Pat was fantastic! From the moment we sat at the bar, he brought great energy and made us feel completely taken care of. There were so many taps, liquor options to choose from, but Pat recommended a special drink for the birthday girl—and it was absolutely delicious! He clearly knows his craft and takes pride in what he does. Great service, great vibes, and amazing hospitality. Pat definitely helped make the birthday celebration even more memorable. Highly recommend!

The staff was great and very engaging. They were also playing awesome music for the entire time I was there.

Paddy's ... is an institution all to itself. Yes, it is a "dive bar," but everyone needs their "dive bar". The service and staff are extraordinary and very full of real character. The patrons... diverse, fun and there is a real sense of neighborhood, which these days are rare. We walked in... knowing no one the first night and...we, learned there actually is something special about this place. Bring in your own food, sit down, have a great drink or two, and get ready to enjoy your new bar.

World's cleanest bar. Seriously, we walked in and it smelled like they had mopped the floors with fabuloso and spritzed it with a little bit of lemon. The bathrooms were immaculate and smelled like soap. We didn't eat, but played pool. The pool tables were average, but the service was amazing, drinks were well poured , and the music was nice. Definitely a nice spot.

Great spot to play some pool and darts while having a good selection of draft beer. Pool tables are only a $1. Would recommend if you're not a local for swing by. Definitely a local spot so if that's what you're looking for check it out!

UPDATE Visited again after almost a year from the first review and it’s still the same great place!! Same friendly bartenders, fantastic beer and liquor selection along with the great pours! ————————————————————————- We normally go to Paddywagon's in Brandon, Fl but were in Orlando and decided to stop in for a few drinks. Our bartender Cody was friendly and very attentive. The place was clean and drinks were reasonably priced.

First of all, just bc a pub doesn't serve food, still give them a chance, you can order uber eats and they'll comp you a well or delivery! Kudos for getting around serving food and letting people order whatever they want! Drinks were yummy... green tea shots, car bombs, Jamo (w/pickle back), Nolet's gin, you name it... they'll pour it! Plenty of space in the bar so you don't feel crowded. Games to keep you entertained. TVs of you want to watch a game. A little bit of everything for everyone.

**Paddywagons: A Wee Bit o' Irish Heaven in Orlando** Top o' the mornin' to ya! Two Dolla Holla here, fresh off a trip to Paddywagons in Orlando, and let me tell ya, this place is more than just a pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow. **Menu:** The menu at Paddywagons is a hearty celebration of Irish classics with a modern twist. I tucked into their Shepherd's Pie, and it was a warm, comforting hug in a bowl, with tender lamb, fluffy mashed potatoes, and a rich gravy that was pure heaven. The Bangers and Mash were equally impressive, with juicy sausages and creamy mashed potatoes that melted in my mouth. And for those seeking a lighter fare, the Irish Stew was packed with flavor and chock-full of tender meat and vegetables. **Drinks:** The bar at Paddywagons is a proper Irish pub, with a wide selection of beers on tap, including Guinness, Harp, and Smithwick's. They also have a great selection of Irish whiskeys and cocktails, like the Irish Mule and the Shamrock Sour. I opted for a pint of Guinness, and it was poured to perfection, with a creamy head and a smooth, rich flavor. **Service:** The service at Paddywagons was top-notch. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready with a quick joke or a helpful suggestion. They made me feel like I was part of the family. **Atmosphere:** The atmosphere at Paddywagons is lively and festive, with traditional Irish music playing in the background and friendly chatter filling the air. The decor is classic Irish pub, with dark wood, cozy booths, and plenty of Irish memorabilia. **Overall:** Paddywagons is a wee bit o' Irish heaven in Orlando. With its delicious food, great drinks, excellent service, and authentic atmosphere, it's a must-visit for anyone looking for a taste of the Emerald Isle. Two Dolla Holla gives it two thumbs up! Sláinte!

Dive bar. Service industry spot for all the servers who get off work at the fancy restaurants of resturant row. Smoked allowed outside. Pool tables and darts. DJ around 11. Casual spot for the every man

It’s a pub with a slight Irish theme. Good music, love some of the wall photos. Dark and brooding like an Irish Pub. Good spot for a beer. Have a little outdoor seating area that overlooks a little rocked drainage area, with some trees. Have some traditional imports, and domestic. All in all it’s a typical bar.

good bar with music.!

For any woman considering this bar, I wouldn’t recommend it. We did not feel safe here. I went to this bar on a Friday with a group of eight girlfriends after having dinner at Norman’s. Unfortunately, it was our first and last time here. After we ordered one drink each, we started playing pool on the table in the corner. A group of men were playing at the table right next to us. We hadn’t spoken to them and they hadn’t said anything to us. About ten minutes into our game, one of the men came up behind me and touched me in a very inappropriate and personal way. At first I thought maybe it was an accident with a pool cue, but he continued touching me in a way that clearly was not accidental. When I turned around and told him not to touch me, he smirked and laughed. His friend, who was sitting only a couple of feet away and saw everything, said nothing. One of my friends came over and told him he needed to apologize, but he just kept smiling and refused to respond. As other members of their group came over, a man in his 30s wearing a hat and a beard asked what happened. When I explained, he immediately dismissed it and said, “we all have girlfriends, he wouldn’t do that.” Even though the man who touched me was standing right there still smiling, this individual who had just arrived kept denying it and repeatedly approached me to insist his friend did nothing wrong. At this point their behavior became intimidating. Multiple men in their group ignored what had happened, and the guy with the beard continued following me around to defend his friend. Their reactions made us feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. After the fifth time he confronted me, I made it clear that what happened was not okay and that it could be reviewed if needed, especially since there are likely cameras. Only then did he step back. My friends saw how upset I was, and we decided to leave shortly afterward. As a woman, I know reporting incidents like this to bar management often leads nowhere, and I did not feel confident that this place would handle it appropriately. I’m writing this review in hopes it helps other women. I have never felt unsafe in a bar or written a negative review before about a bar but this experience was deeply unsettling.

I am writing to formally express my concern regarding a recent experience at Paddywagon Orlando involving one of your employees, Seto. I am reaching out because your stated mission — that every guest should feel “like coming home” — is something I have always valued about Paddywagon, which is why this experience was so deeply disappointing. On more than one occasion, Seto has been rude and unprofessional toward paying customers, including myself and my guests. Most troubling, however, was a discriminatory comment made to my boyfriend, who is an Indian man. Seto asked him, “Where is your Jasmine?” — a remark that was inappropriate, offensive, and rooted in racial stereotyping. This made both of us uncomfortable and unwelcome in what is meant to be a hospitality-driven establishment. I am a local teacher and have also worked in the hospitality industry in the past, so I understand the demands of the field and the importance of customer service. I have never been treated so poorly at a business I once enjoyed and recommended to others. I have previously brought out-of-town friends to Paddywagon, but this experience has made me hesitant to return or to continue doing so. It is truly a shame, because I genuinely loved coming to Paddywagon and appreciated its atmosphere. I hope that this matter can be addressed appropriately so that I — along with my visiting friends and fellow educators — can feel comfortable returning in the future.

*Edited The owners response is really telling. Now I understand why the rest of the 1 star reviews are all about your customers being harassed and discriminated against. For a bar named Paddywagon, quite literally the least Irish a pub could possibly be. Additionally, I could not be more disappointed when I was handed a 16 ounce pint of horrible Guinness. I almost asked for my money back. If you want a good pint of Guinness and a real Irish pub, avoid this place at all costs.

bald bartender was very rude… I was very surprised to find out he was the GM. He clearly hates women, he was very dry and passive aggressive with me and my group. He was just as nasty to his female coworker. I wasn’t going to say anything until I saw someone else left a review about feeling unsafe here as a woman and I completely agree. It’s a male dominated staff and it’s obvious they hate women. Feel bad for the female bartenders here.
