Great selection of whiskey and unique cocktails and food.
I especially like the Iced Irish Coffee, the "Bronx Tail," the Manhattan, Sweet Thai Salmon, and the Sausage Trio Appetizer.
The staff is also very friendly and attentive.

Stopped in yesterday for some food and to check out the Whiskey vault and everything was wonderful.

The food...🤤 I'm from England so I'm very picky with my bangers and mash and this dish was chefs kiss! The bangers were so good, the onion gravy had me wanting to lick the plate and my god, do yourself a favor and get the garlic mashed potatoes.

My guy got the paddy melt and loved it.

Next we spent quite a bit of time in the whiskey vault. If you love whiskey or interested in testing a wide variety of whiskeys, this is the place.🥃

We look forward to coming back!!

1# in all of Woodland. Best steak I've had in years. They don't have a single bad item.

Super cool place and super old-school! I like whiskey, and there is a whiskey vault here! Pat, aka Paddy, can answer anything about whiskey. He gives a great lesson and tastings to fellow whiskey lovers. Not cheap, but there are over 650 whiskeys to choose from, so you pay for the privilege of exclusivity.

This is a great Irish Pub. The food is great and the only reason I didn't rate the service as 5 star is because they don't have enough staff during a peak time. Love the Irish theme and atmosphere.

While visiting my daughter, we went here for a meal. We were able to find table right away and were told to seat ourselves. We sat at a high pub table near the back, and while it gave me a good view of the restaurant, it was quite noisy. We were greeted by our server pretty quickly, and she took our drink order. While we were looking over the menu, something flying through the restaurant caught my attention. 2 small bats!! The poor things were flying about searching for a way out. This has obviously happened before because an employee soon appeared with a net on a long pole. While the bats swooped around dodging, not only the net but the ceiling fans, we placed our order. I ordered an appetizer of deep fried green beans and mushrooms that came with Chipotle ranch dipping sauce. We enjoyed it, but we all agreed that we would prefer the mushrooms to be cut in half. For dinner, we ordered the fish and chips and one of us ordered a Caesar salad. The fish was delicious! Really nice big pieces, and the batter was crispy and golden. The bats were eventually caught, which caused a spontaneous round of applause. It's a cute bar/ restaurant and I noticed that there is an area for a band so live music would be fun in there. We were approached 3 times by a manager to see how our meal and service were, and our server was very attentive. Don't be put off by my mention of the bats. The server explained that the problem is being addressed. They are coming in through a gap somewhere upstairs. If you haven't been to Father Paddy's yet, please give it a try! Nice friendly place!

Great place and very nice bar. Food on the other hand, not so much. Ordered my blue cheese burger rare-medium rare, I was given the most over cooked hamburger (with cold bacon) that I've ever had. My wife ordered hers medium well and it was cooked over well and dry. For $21 I expected to at least have my burger cooked properly. Unfortunately, I don't see myself going back.
