Patrick's Irish Pub

Our little group frequented Patrick’s last winter for a couple months and I always talked it up to friends. That was until our last visit. Six of us went out the weekend before last on a Saturday night and were greeted by a friendly bartender right before shift change. We sat at table in the back.

A couple rounds later the closing bartender started. He’s a skinny dude with long hair. He immediately asks if I’m ready to close out my tab, and asks me again, twice more, each time I came up for another beer. It was clear right away that we were inconveniencing him with our presence. I made small talk and he mentioned his co worker had called in so it was just him for the night. I imagine that’s why he was treating us like a burden, because he was busy. Boo hoo.

After a couple rounds of Vegas Bombs he told us he ran out of ingredients. We then asked for a different round of shots and he told us he wasn’t going to make us shots anymore. This is after 2 rounds of shots and a few beers each over the course of 3-4 hours. We were all behaved like adults and weren’t causing any issues.

Obviously we left after that, and that is the first time in my life that I’ve tipped less than 20%. Until dude is gone we won’t be back, which is a real bummer. We went next door to Stella’s instead and were served immediately by bartenders that don’t hate money.

Can’t recommend Patrick’s as it stands today, which blows because there’s no other bar like it down town.

Been a few times tried to like this place, but the poor service and slow kitchen are the only reliable things here. New bartender has closed the kitchen when the place isn’t even full because she feels inconvenienced. Last night she was extremely rude when I questioned the long wait for food- telling me to “cry about it.” She acts like she’s way too busy to care. 1 star for refunding my order. There are much better options around.

Oh My Goodness!!!
This was amazing. We had a very large group come in Sunday night and the bar tender was so awesome and did a very nice job.
Sorry we made you work so hard!
Also the guy helping us with karaoke was great! Thanks for allowing us to take over it was quite literally one of the best nights of my life!

So, just overall, an incredibly poor experience. Each time, I hope for better service.

My experiences at Patrick's:Greg (the owner of Patrick's Irish Pubs), let me go today because he doesn’t have enough hours for the next two months. In previous conversations a week ago, he was planning to let me go then because I wasn't offering enough hours at the bar. (At that time, I had already quit my full-time job.) It was only when I told him this information that he decided to keep me on, But he told me I couldn't have another job while working at Patrick's. I did defend myself later and told him that I would need to get a part-time job as the bar recently hasn't been making me enough to afford my bills, which he said he encouraged. Also, some important background knowledge about what's been going on: Greg was originally paying all of us 10.68 dollars there's per hour (old minimum wage for tips) until the last paycheck. It wasn't until a former employee told him about Colorado tip wages going up that he then abided by it. Greg could also be verbally abusive at times and made the work environment stressful for all bartenders by his sudden mood changes. He, at one point, tested me on all my pouring skills in front of all the other bartenders (which he did not ask any of the other staff members to do) to verbally correct me and criticize. When I pointed out that he could teach me, he replied that he hadn't bartended in years and that he wasn't going to show me specifically what he wanted. Those actions made me very nervous to be around him and made me question why he only had me tested. It wasn't until other non-Black and Black bartenders who previously worked for Greg told me that Greg had a trend of being harsher toward his Black employees , also i have Multiple sources that Confirmed with me that he has fired Multiple employees for unjustible reasons outside of their races. Fast-forward to today's conversation, I know that I was a great bartender and that the community loved it when I was there. I heard so many compliments about my energy and the staff's energy being the best in years. This situation is just strange and I'm not going stand by his Mistreatment of his employees.If you are a local bartender, I would advise you not to work for Patrick's. Greg will abuse his power over you.

Small little pub, with friendly service. The Cubanish sandwiche and fries were really good too.
