I love this place the drinks are strong. It's always a fun time. karaoke is always amazing. My go to karaoke song is. (man I feel like a woman) by Shania Twain . The bartender name is Dylan was so sweet and handsome and friendly. I'll be coming back for another 10 years whoever hired Dylan with a smart man

Being from Santa Clarita, Paddy's is a little over an hour and 20 minutes away in good traffic. I like to come to some of the bar's themed nights such as Daddy's boy and the pup event. The staff is always nice and the crowd is fun. Even though this crowd is more co-ed than I am used to, everyone was respectful and friendly.
The two events that I came to had some fun raffles and some sexy gogo dancers.
The last time I came they even had a food truck outside the bar with some amazing Asian cuisine.
There was also ample parking. Can't wait to be back soon!Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - Jan 26, 2024
Fun place! We came for drag queen bingo in January. I liked the drink choices and the overall friendliness. I would mark higher if they made it easier to find seating for people like my mother in law who can't sit on barstools for long periods of time.

Vibe is fine. Not sure how bar tenders here make money but they definitely don't make it by selling drinks... ignored half the time and also terrible tasting drinks. Bar tenders are all terrible except Danny.

I'm So Sorry to Say that We Did Not Have The Experience We Expected. We Live About 3 Blocks from This Bar .... Know it , Happy It is Here , When we walked in I sat a a table and My Husband went to the bar to order Two Margaritas!!! Yay I WAS excited! However my Husband was COMPLETELY ignored, while The Bartender Welcomed and Served An Obvious Regular, judging from past reviews, the Owners do not care about This ,,, sad I really like this Bar . The Margaritas Were HORRIBLE, tasted like Orange juice and Tequila???? IDK .

I have been coming to Paddy's for years and seeing Rob absolutely makes my night. I walk in and see him and am so happy. I can come here alone and feel completely safe (this hard for a female). I feel like the people here are so welcoming and genuine. I'm not a bar person and this is one of my favorite spots to come. Thank you, Rob, for always remembering my drink and taking the time to have great conversations with me over the years! (I love Dani? Danny? as well, don't get me wrong...) COME HERE!!! you won't regret it

Some of the most inexpensive drinks in the county. Inside they have two pool tables and a dart board as well as a dance area. Sometimes, they open a second bar in the back. The patio is a nice place to relax as well.

Don't come here !!! They seem to be a safe place but they are not !!! I'm a trans girl and there's not many safe places here but they made me feel like trash !!! They kicked out out just cause I was dancing sexy !!! There was this person I don't know who he was !! Cause he denied to give his info and just kicked out us out even tho we were paying costumers, he called me names and just proceeded to bring all security with him and throw all 10 of us just cause he didn't like the way I was dancing, why do I have to feel this unsafe and scared just for being me !!! Isn't this a gay place and safe for us !!! Really acting this diva and so empowering, there's not need to be this way !!!
