PaddyWagon Irish Pub - Bradenton, Florida

The perfect local hangout. It has a touch of class will still being down to earth. TVs for every sporting event you want and a pool table to enjoy. There’s also an outside area for the smokers so that way it keeps it clean and smoke free inside. You can order food from geckos, which is next-door and enjoy while you’re watching the game. But on top of everything they have top notch service that are there for you. Then you have Christian, who is probably the best bartender in this whole country. If not the world!! Trust me I have traveled all over and I have never met a better man than this!! If you’re looking for a place to really call your local spot this is it!! I know whenever I can come by I’m welcomed with open arms. This is a must go to.!!!!

Christian is an awesome, cool guy, a great bartender. Wonderful ambiance, everyone from staff to customers super friendly.

Just an example of what you run into here. No pets allowed, then you walk in and two of the staff are drunk with friends with their dogs. After a lighthearted comment, they whip out an ESA card anyone can get online. I don’t think you need emotional support from your pup to get drunk on a Sunday Funday. Classy.

Some of the nicest people I've ever met. Great atmosphere. Loved the outside seating. Unfortunately, we did not eat here.

Come here for multiple college and nfl football games. Atmosphere is great, great employees! Corey is absolutely amazing. Very attentive, kind, and the main reason we come back. Thank you so much…. We will be back!

I have been coming to this place 2-3 times a week since moving here. Sometimes with my service animal, sometimes without. Never had a problem until this past weekend.

I came in and was greeted by a new bartender telling me I could not have a dog in there. I told him that he was a service dog and told him the tasks he performs. The reply I got was “I don’t know, I’ve never heard of that. And the owner is here so he’s not going to allow it.” Since when it is my problem if you haven’t heard of my dogs tasks? Apparently that night. I asked if he could just get the owner over to talk to him. The owner came over and told me that he “Did not believe my dog was a service animal.” Since when is it my problem that you don’t believe that? Apparently that night. He seemed as if he had been drinking and was sort of aggressive in his tone, making it an uncomfortable and unprofessional situation.

He ended up “allowing me” to be confined to one area in the bar. I grabbed a drink and continued to hear the owner talk with his friends across the bar basically mocking me and calling me a liar. This is supposed to be a veteran friendly bar, so you would figure they would understand and support vets and their service animal.

The ironic thing is that the previous time I went, another bartender (who is awesome) jokingly said I wasn’t allowed to come back unless I brought my dog.

Besides being illegal, it’s a shame that this happened because I loved going to this bar to watch games and play darts/pool.

Great time on the patio
Super nice ownership let us use the patio for a gathering of our football fan group. Bartenders are great too and prices quite reasonable. The other review mentioned smoking. There is no smoking inside but it is allowed on the patio. It is Florida after all.
