Not worth your time or money

Went there on a Saturday for brunch and never got served. The bar was under staffed, with only 3 people working (thats counting the cook). The bartender was behind the bar and also taking food orders at individual tables. He proceeded to serve patrons who walked in after us, and did not take our order until we went to him. Then we proceeded to wait another 45 minutes. Finally, one of the other Paddy's employees came over and asked us what we had ordered. Turns out the bartender never put the order in with the kitchen. During the hour or so that we wasted, 4 separate tables left without receiving their food, bills or any service. In the end we left hungry and mad.

If you're looking to drink water and not eat, then I guess this is the place to go. You wont get any more service than that. Maybe this is not how it usually is, but I was very disappointed with my first visit and I wont be going back.

I've been going to Paddy Long's since they opened the doors and I'm never disappointed. The service is speedy and always friendly. Owners Pat and Chris know how to make a lady feel special and don't even get me started on those cute rugby boys. Ahh!

Just what the neighborhood needed!

Paddy’s has a great local feel to it, staff are very friendly, great beer selection (but most importantly a great pint of Guinness!) A perfect place for a few Saturday afternoon pints with lads while watching the live soccer, rugby or whatever Setanta or FSC are showing. Food is top notch too, check out the burger or the Paddy Panini if you like yer Irish Breakfast in a sandwich!

Best wings in town!

Paddy Longs has a cool vibe, excellent beer selection, friendly and efficient staff, and they do the best chicken wings in town (extra crispy!). Food selection is good for a bar, and the jukebox is eclectic. The crowd is mostly 20s/30s/40s. Pub quiz on a Tuesday night is usually packed and good fun. Definitely worth checking this place out.

Great Beer Selection! This...

Great Beer Selection! This could be one of the only bars in Chicago that has Tetley's on tap. Awesome! Friendly staff and easy to catch a cab at the end of the night.
