Paddywagon Irish Pub Lake Buena Vista

The best bar in town! Always welcomed every time I come in, they treat me like a part of family! Kayln, Cj Kelly and all of the other bartenders are amazing as always. Most definitely never a dull moment(s) when I come and grab a few drinks. I’ll always recommend paddy wagon to anyone that wants a chill spot to come and hang, play some dart or shoot some pool.

If you’re not getting served by Kalyn, CJ, or Matt at Paddywagons, are you even living?

Kalyn is the bartender equivalent of Beyoncé — flawless, fierce, and somehow everywhere at once. I’m convinced she has superpowers or a secret clone. CJ mixes drinks like he’s auditioning for Top Gun: Bartender Edition — there were shaker flips, ice tosses, and maybe a small explosion (unclear, but vibes were immaculate). And Matt? Matt’s the wild card. You never know if he’s going to give you life advice, a rumple shot, or both — but either way, it’ll change your life.

This trio could open a bar on the moon and I’d buy a ticket tomorrow. Honestly, the drinks were strong, the banter was stronger, and I may or may not have declared one of them my emergency contact by the end of the night.

Paddywagons, protect these three at all costs. And maybe install a statue in their honor — or at least a plaque near the DJ stage.

Lady with the pink hair needs to go she is so rude
She was so mean that I couldn’t be there any longer her presence alone was disturbing as much as I love this spot I no longer will go because of her

Bartender with the pink hair is very rude.
Learn to understand someone’s situation before reacting.

Highly don’t recommend.
It’s a way to speak to people and conduct a business.
People have “ Authority “ and forget that.
DO NOT speak to people any kind of way.

Here again visiting Orlando and found another Paddywagon! We normally visit the Paddywagons in the Tampa area but like finding others whenever we have a staycation in FL. This location doesn’t disappoint! The bartenders are friendly as usual, great music and had some great beer recommendations that we hadn’t tried yet. Will be back next time we’re in town!

I don’t recommend people to come to this place. People are rude came to my birthday and I couldn’t because they don’t accept foreign ids. If you come here bring your passport

We went to celebrate my cousin’s 33rd birthday. He traveled from Spain, where he works as a chef, and unfortunately didn’t have his passport with him. However, he did have his official Spanish ID, which is a valid government-issued document clearly showing his date of birth. Despite this, the staff refused to accept it.

Because of their strict policy, we couldn’t celebrate his birthday there, and the night was ruined. I understand the need for age verification, but refusing an internationally recognized ID is unreasonable and unwelcoming to visitors.

I would not recommend this place, especially for international guests. If you don’t carry your passport at all times, don’t bother going here — they won’t let you in.

We’d been to Hooters and spotted Paddywagon over the way. Being from Liverpool UK this was a must to go in. From the 1st moment we walked in we were made very welcome by all the staff. The range of drinks was amazing and the price was really good in comparison to other bars we had been in. Kaylin and Kelly were really nice to us and the guys were very friendly. If you want a proper bar come here, if we ever come back to Orlando we will definitely be back. Thank you Paddywagon 👍👍👍👍

Fun spot, good music, good drinks & there are a LOT of regulars which is always a good sign.

Visited on numerous times always left satisfied, however I got cut off by our fowhawk friend (8/27/2025) for no apparent reason, I didn’t argue.. to prove my point as to the unjust accusation

Whites only establishment and they let you know it. I’d give 1 star but drink prices were good.
