Paddy’s, a hidden gem nestled in Old City Philadelphia, is a true embodiment of American bar culture. With its inviting ambiance, guests are welcomed into a warm, friendly space reminiscent of popular TV shows. The variety of beverages is impressive, featuring a selection of bottled beers like Amstel Light and Corona, and a rotating lineup of drafts including Guinness and Miller Lite. Reviews from patrons like Adam Voydik highlight the bar's familial atmosphere, making it more than just a place to grab a drink. Liz Barton and Courtney Belcher praise the friendly staff and welcoming vibes, while acknowledging the unique perk of indoor smoking, a rarity in many establishments today. The diverse drink options extend to quirky offerings like Leinenkugel's Grapefruit Shandy, enhancing its charm. Samy Morgan and Thre Machine echo similar sentiments, emphasizing the bar's affordability and the personal touch from bartenders. The merchandise, from shirts to stickers, adds to the experience, making it a memorable stop for bar hoppers. The blend of good drinks, great service, and a chill vibe positions Paddy’s as a must-visit in Philadelphia—a perfect spot to unwind and connect with the city.

This bar had great ambiance! Just like the show and the staff member there was very friendly and welcoming. There’s a large variety of liquors and some interesting beers on tap. You can smoke inside which is cool. Cute little Philadelphia bar. You can also buy shirts. A

Cool dive bar in Old City. Few beers on tap and a full service bar. Great prices too which was definitely welcomed. Our bar tender was really cool; she went upstairs to search for a shirt size for my husband to purchase. They have stickers and other stuff available for purchase too. They do allow smoking inside so be prepared for that

Very personable and had some great stories to tell. this bar is a MUST GO TO! trust me everyone you NEED to stop here. such a perfect dive bar atmosphere and very reasonably priced. perfect for the bar hopping group. also great that they have touch tunes. Again, it’s a must go to!

as a philly man what exactly does the review that comes before mine expect? paddy's is meant to parallel the paddy's from the TV show. it's a raw bar. not a seven star lounge at the ritz. get over yourself

After being disappointed by the service at Mac’s Tavern, I came here and was pleasantly surprised. Yes, they allow smoking, but I knew this in advance-but considering the fantastic service and mood of everyone in the place, it was worth it. They had solid specials-plus some great merch. Definitely recommend!

It’s not always Sunny in Philadelphia, today’s weather was absolutely terrible overcast and rainy, but still had a great time this place seems like just such a neighborhood bar, pretty fun reasonably priced and you can smoke cigarettes inside
