When it comes to dive bars, paddy power really is as good as it gets. Located on one of the main streets in Merrick it is steps away from the LIRR so no need for a DD!
Show your face once a week and the bartenders will coincidentally start remembering your favorite drinks, how you like your wings (super spicy) and even hold your bag behind the bar. Thursday night karaoke during the summer brings a particularly rowdy crowd with an eclectic sound ranging through every genre of music. Always entertaining but the wait list can get long pretty fast so I recommend getting there early.
As for the food it is standard pub food but always consistent and never disappointing. Highly recommend it for a good night out where you don't have to try and impress anyone and can just have fun.
What can I say, this place rocks! Cheap drinks, yummy cocktails and great bar staff!! One particular bartender is great, Vinny... as him to make you a ghetto sangria, so good!
The food is very good for pub grub. I go down for 10 cents wings on a Wednesday night... you really can't 10 cents for wings and $2.50 for a beer!
Check it out, highly recommended!
