Paddy Coyne's Irish Pub

Great dinner food ... Delicious drinks...breakfast was a little bit if a letdown but I will definitely come back for dinner again!

I wasn't sure what I was expecting but I know it wasn't the clean, fancy, stylish bar that I walked into. The bar has lovely carved wood molding, pretty tiling, high end bar tables and seating. Friendly well dressed bartender (I think I was imaging more of a Sunny in Philadelphia Paddy's Pub...oops!)

My dinning partner asked for an IPA, surprisingly they didn't have one. He settled for a Bass Pale Ale on tap. Tasteless but easy enough to swig. I had a vodka, soda, cranberry, simple enough.

I ordered the Wedge Salad for a snack. Blue cheese and bacon really do make everything taste amazing but it was a fairly bland in comparison to others I've had.

Menu looked descent with Happy Hour items!

mixed reviews on this place.  first off, the place kind of smells.  like there hasn't been janitorial/cleaning service there in who knows how long.  no bueno.  the service is so-so.  they kind of leave you hanging.  the reuben sandwich however - one of the best i have had in the whole city of tacoma.  a+++.   i also love me some Irish SodaBread and theirs is awesome.  now - the shepards pie?  greasy mess (no exaggeration - you'll see when you get it.)  and there is something funky tasting in there... sage?  carroway seeds? lol i don't know but it really just grossed me out.  which saddens me as i am a shepard's pie fanatic.  the best i have had is at the George & Dragon Pub in Seattle - check that out if you want some good food.  so yeah - paddy coynes? meh.
