I probably should wait to review this place at a time that I actually go during normal business hours. Â My visit was during the bewitching hour (it is a 3 am bar) and after a full day at the wineries (when I should have been home). Â I'll visit again sometime and update my review...
When I was there, they had a large late night crowd (lifetime southside residents). Â The decor was big open sports bar meets green walls and nice bathrooms (hey--it matters), lots of video games, high top tables (I prefer high tops for social purposes), and TV's galore,.
For me, this is a neighborhood sports bar that is one of the nicest in this neighborhood.  But, it is not  an Irish pub, and not a place I would drive from any distance to visit.
This place is trying to plug itself at the closest 3am bar to South County. Â I have no idea what benefit that really is for this bar, but hey, the place is usually crowded, and almost always after 1am, so I am going to say, this plug is working for them.
This is really a nice little neighborhood Irish Pub in my opinion. Â There are usually tables, the food is decent, and the drinks keep flowing. Â I have never had a problem with service here, and my Guinness always seems to be full. Â Also, I don't seem to be paying as much for this alcohol as I generally would if I were to go to some other Irish Pubs in the area. Â
If you hit the happy hour (Mon -Fri 3-7 PM) all appetizers are only $3.99, and of course, they have a solid karaoke night on Thursdays that goes till 2 AM.
All in all, I think this place is off to a bang up start...can't wait to see how it is in a few years when it really gets its bearings.
Patrick McKeane's is new. Â They are located behind Crusoe's on Oceola. Â The first time I went, it was fantastic. Â The next few times, very good. Â The last time, well, I think that they were out-capacatied (made up word ... ). Â Crusoe's is doing some renovation, so there could have been quite a few overflow tables. Â It took forever to get the table cleaned, and get served. Â But, this is a NEW bar. Â I don't like being critical on a new venture, but I don't want to set the wrong impression. Â I think this place will do great. Â They carry anything an irishman needs to have to be happy (read: Jamison, Guiness). Â The owner is friendly and makes the rounds. Â I'll definately be back.
