    This place can be fun just for the people watching alone.  It is VERY dirty and VERY messy.  Bartenders take forever to get you a drink, so order two.  Food is awful, but the cook is probably drunk.  The Laguna Niguel one is much much nicer.

    This place is a flippin hoot!

    I came here with some friends after having dinner at another piace in MV. We weren't ready to the end the night and well, the nightlife is somewhat lacking in MV so one of my friends suggested Patsy's.

    I have to admit, at first, we were a little unsure as it doesn't look like much from the outside and there were tons of guys standing outside smoking and kind looking a little shady. However, the minute we stepped in we felt at home!

    There was  a good all-aged crowd, good music and people dancing/singing and the drinks were super reasonable! It's also a fun place for some good ole fashioned people-watching, if you get my drift. ;-)

    I'll definitely be back!

    Never really been to any bars around the area, actually unaware if they exist. There's a specific Anglo-Saxon crowd at this bar, but hey it's an Irish pub.
    Came here late on a Saturday night, it pretty packed with karaoke going on as well. Age range for the crowd varied from newly 21 to an older crowd. Not typically my scene but it was a good place to grab a drink.
    Noticed they had ads for various happy hours throughout the week, may have come back to try.

    It's fun sometimes but every once and a while seems to be a little too much trouble for my blood. This place reminds me if cheers, a bunch of new silly drinkers that just turned 21 mixed with a bunch older drinkers trying to hang on to some desperate memory. All in all typical local dive

    Save for one server, Emily, this place is going down the tubes.

    Karaoke is fun--when they actually DO karaoke, but it seems to want to attract 20 something douchebags who get drunk, have no special awareness and then get pissed when someone bumps into their lame ass standing in the middle of a walkway. The women who go there are usually not single, but attached to one of the douchebags who will fight you for even looking at them. This place is notorious for bar fights and it seems like at least once a month, the place is closed down early and cops are called due to an altercation.

    If you are:

    1) Single, looking for a date for the night (because let's face it, no one looks for successful, long term relationships in bars)
    2) Thirsty, expecting the blonde bartender with big boobs/butt and huge mole on her face to give you a drink without attitude
    3) Not a terminal douchebag

    DO NOT come here.

    BUT, If you:
    1) Don't mind hearing hip-hop music sets in between 3-4 songs of karaoke, Thursday-Sunday nights.
    2) Love a great shepard's pie
    3) Have A LOT of patience for slow bartenders and wait staff

    Then, it's not a horrible place to go.

    What's interesting is that they (the staff) talk a lot of shit about the one in Laguna Niguel. I went to that one for the first time a couple weeks ago and the bartenders and wait staff were very warm, efficient and gave you the real Irish pub feel. It LOOKS and feels like a traditional pub, while Patsy's Mission Viejo looks like a dive bar with green lights and Irish memorabilia adorning the walls.

    There ARE a couple exceptions to the staff at Mission Viejo, but if you're going for the Irish warmth that most authentic pubs have, then the owners need to get their shit in gear and do well to foster a less arrogant, dismissive environement.

    And when your server gets a horrible tip for doing a horrible, impersonal and snooty job--maybe learn the lesson and do better next time to redeem yourself and get a better tip. Don't completely ignore them and basically justify the horrible tip you got in the first place.

    This place could be awesome. But customer service seems to be the least of their concerns in a business that relies on that element to continue to bring sales in.

    But hey...do what you want. But when people see how awesome Laguna Niguel is in comparison, Mission Viejo may not get as many customers. Just saying'...

    Never been to this bar before, my husband I came in on Saturday evening for a drink. The Bartender was a late middle aged brown haied woman dressed like a homeless person who was screaming at everyone. She was pouring my mixed drinks through her hands, drinking liquor while working, eating laffy tafy with what I'm assuming was marijuana and just straight up rude if you were not a local. I thought bartenders were supposed to be welcoming and helpful. She was anything but that.  Also a bald guy who I overheard was a manager was drunk as a skunk giving away free drinks to anyone who said hello. I am not sure who is running this place but I won't be coming back until bartenders and management are sober and can speak a complete sentence.  How can someone so drunk and stoned even add numbers together?

    Honestly i want to like this place. It is usually crowded and has potential. But If you cant get a drink when you are sitting at the bar top somethings wrong. I sat in a stool at the bar along with 3 of my friends waiting for over 30 minutes to get a drink.  A lady with glasses came and dropped a drink to the people next to us. I asked for a drink and she just walked away. I dont know if they are understaffed but it was pretty bad.  Tried many different techniques to catch their attention ( holding hands in the air, waving money, leaning over the bar, asking the bar back, shouting, asking the security guard)  it was painful.  fix it guys  want to like this place.

    This place is hilarious on the weekends. Food is pretty good for being a bar. Gets crazy on karaoke nights. Very much a 909 type bar.

    The good news:  This place is a cool, Irish dive-bar located in the middle of suburbia.  We decided to swing by the place this past Saturday looking for something to do on a rainy night.  When we got there there was a line outside the door, which is a good sign to us.  We waited about15 minutes to get in, which was not a big deal for us because the place was happening.

    The Bad News:  We waited over 30 minutes to get a drink  at the bar and the blond bartender with big boobs and tats everywhere didn't even look over to our side to get our drink order.  NEWS TO BAR OWNER - WHEN YOU HAVE A BUSY SATURDAY NIGHT, BOOK 4 BARTENDERS, NOT TWO.  We wanted to stay, but proceeded to turn around and walk out.  There were 3 other couples right near us who did the same.  We would've hung out all night and dropped $150-$200 in the bar, but instead you GOT NONE.

    The moral of the story, if you pull up to Patsy's and see a line....DO NOT GO IN.  You will totally lose your buzz and your cool waiting for a drink.

    Look, I've seen a lot of people complaining about this place...yeah, it's not pristine. But guess what? I don't feel like I HAVE to get dressed up to go to this place. The first time I went, I was by myself, looking for something to do. I was instantly comfortable, not overwhelmed and I felt safe. I've become a regular since then. Most of the people who go even semi regularly to Patsy's are really great people. Sure, you get your d-bags and pumped up barbies, but hey, it's Orange County. You can't avoid them! What really makes this dive bar the best is the staff and the regulars...the staff keep everything going smoothly and the regulars are nice and most of the time act like staff themselves! They just want to have a good time at a place they know.

    So...get over your OC perceptions, open your mind and enjoy. It's not the bar that makes this place great, it's the PEOPLE

    I come here way too often for my own good, so I may be a little biased about Patsy's. (come say Hi if you see me).   Given the fact that you are in Mission Viejo, this place is rockin!  The think I love the best about it, is the fact that you get all types of people:  bikers, 21 year olds, 80 year olds, people that just want to play pool or sing, and everything in between.

    Some tips:
    - The bathrooms are a disaster, so I don't recommend wearing flip flops.
    - On that note, ladies... be careful in your heals becasue of the cobblestone floors.
    - Be prepared for stiff drinks!  
    - If the bar is crowded, the best stop for a drink is the well (right where the bartenders are at).
    - Be a good tipper!
    - If you want to sing karaoke and you are not a regular, get there early to sign up on the sheet, or tip a lot.  
    - The food is surprisingly good!

    That's about all I can think of at the moment :)

    Have fun and be safe!

    Patsys oh Patsys you are a fine gem in Mission Viejo that has some great achievements, see below;

    ~awful karaoke singers which makes for great fun, it's no effing american idol it's a god damn dive bar
    ~cheap drinks and fun bartenders
    ~ A FREAKING DANCE FLOOR, what's more fun than throwing some drinks back and being a dancing fool????
    ~cornbeef tacos, what?! Yes cornbeef tacos with cabbage and salsa, freaking amazing... Freaking amazing. Did I mention they are freaking amazing?
    ~two smoking sections
    ~cougars, college girls, grandmas, and all the others.

    It's a good time if your not a snooty think every bar should be like vegas person. An the attitude of, I can't seem to accept the fact that I'm really an average working american and enjoy buying $1000 bottle service.. It doesn't make you famous, really it doesn't it makes you ridiculous, unless of course your well you know

    Enough out of me see for yourself and enjoy the shenanigans!

    So I have been here several times for bday celebrations of friends.  I don't know if I would call this an Irish pub, they should remove that from the name.  Despite the lack of Irishness, the bar is pretty fun. I love it.  I will admit that my friends who I usually meet here are regulars so I suspect we get some sort of preferential service, but it could all be in my head.

    The staff is really nice, I have never had to go to the bar and deal with the crowd, the girl that comes around is great and always makes sure I have a drink ready to go, sometimes all I have to do is catch her eye and she knows I need a refill =)

    As for the actual place and its décor, its ur usual dive bar decore, nothing special.  They do have karaoke, which I love! I always make it a point to go up and belt a tune at least once while I am there.  The big crowd favorite is Friends in Low places by Garth Brookes, I am not sure if its me being a little too tipsy or the crowd, but we have a blast with this number and its always a hit.  And the DJ that does the karaoke is so funny and gets into it, he will do back up, you get to dress up with crazy hats and glasses.

    Remember to close your tab or pay your tab, twice I have had issues. First time I left without paying at all, I didn't even leave a credit card.  My friend was kind enough to pay for me and I paid her back later, kind of felt bad cuz it was her bday I was there for.  Later on I left my credit card and didn't realize it till I got home and my bf had to drive me back....my friends were walking out, they had signed for me and taken care of it.  The staff knows us so they didn't mind and were helpful. Overall, I recommend this place, cheap drinks, good service, and karaoke!

    Have a beer and this place is a blast. Stuck as the DD for the night? Go hang out at Sonic for a bit. I really likes Patsy's, but as someone who has been to Ireland multiple times, it is no more Irish than the local cantina.

    However, this place is pretty entertaining. With pool, darts and karaoke, there's always something to do if you're not down for sitting at the bar. There are some creeps (luckily I was with three guys who had my back), and some people are just looking for a fight, but nothing out of the ordinary for a bar.

    Otherwise this place is chill. Come on, they even have a pajama night.

    Local dive bar. Seriously, where did they get the ravemaster DJ??  Blaring rave music on a Wednesday...and then onto Michael Jackson.  This is an Irish pub?  Wow...

    Props for having a dart board in back.

    If you're looking for an English or Irish pub there are better out there.

    What a fun night!  We were out celebrating my gf's new job and decided to come here for some karaoke fun.  Apparently, we were a little early so we made ourselves comfortable with a few drinks in one corner of the bar (of course, after walking back and forth trying to find a table with no success).  The crowd is an interesting mix of sweet older gentlemen and douchey younger guys.  Ok, lots of d-bags were out in force that night.  

    Guy who couldn't tolerate my gf putting her can of Red Bull on their table, you are a douchebag.  You also inexplicabley offered to take our pictures but your tone indicated that you thought we were idiots and that you could do it better.  You couldn't - your finger kept getting in the way and you blamed it on my phone.  Jerk off.

    The bartenders were sweet but BEWARE - they charge you different amounts!  Sure, it's not much but it's frustrating.  Our "regular" bartender lady who remembered our orders to a T, charged us $27.95 for two cocktails and two shots. On the same exactly order, another bartender charged us $29.  Crazy!  Also, they could use another 2 bartenders.  Drinks were tough to come by at times and no one will automatically come over and help you.  They will look right at you and walk away.

    I expected a serious karaoke crowd but it wasn't really that uptight.  There were your regulars - shout out to my girl who kept singing Rihanna songs and Mark, the older gentleman with the earring who sounded like he's been singing for hair bands all his life.  But in between everyone's personal rendition of their idols, the MC kept it moving with up-to-date grooves and tunes for everyone to dance to.  Before we knew it, the place was closing and it was time for us to head home.

    I'm a new fan of Patsy's and I'm glad I only live 8 minutes away.  Yay!

    This is a pretty fun bar especially in South OC!

    If I were comparing this place to other bars in only South OC, I would've given this place 4 stars. Hey! Maybe even 5, but that isn't the case.

    It is located in strip mall and parking is easy! No cover, drinks are cheap, people are nice, and they have karaoke! When people aren't singing, they usually have a DJ playing music and it is fun to just dance and get crazy!

    Great place to go without having to drive the distance!

    News flash, Patsy's is a dive bar.  Now that we got that out of the way, let's look up the meaning "Dive Bar."  According to the Urban Dictionary, Dive Bar means "A well-worn, unglamorous bar, often serving a cheap, simple selection of drinks to a regular clientele.

    The term can describe anything from a comfortable-but-basic neighborhood pub to the nastiest swill-slinging hole."

    Wow that was good.  Now taking that into consideration, most of the reviews about this place should be 5 stars.  It sounds like Patsy's is doing a great job at being well-worn, unglamourous, having regular clientele and definitely fitting in the range of a neighborhood pub to the nastiest swill-slinging hole.

    Patsys is the type of bar you go to when you just want to hang out.  I would hope to God that no one would really go to bars to meet people anyway, so it really doesn't matter who else hangs out here.  I personally enjoy the company I go with and all the other folks who hang out there.  Quite frankly they are oddly captivating and great for people watching.  They are also fun to laugh at... I mean with.  Their pitchers pour a little over 4 pints and run at 11.00, sometimes 12.  Service is not the greatest, but it is hard to have amazing service when the bar is packed from wall to wall.  They have a couple of game options along with some Karaoke.  I have to say that Karaoke is so fun to watch and when they aren't singing, the dance floor is just as entertaining to watch.  

    Sunday they serve brunch and have football.  Their corned beef breakfast is to die for.  Very fresh and just the right amount of food.  They serve mimosas which is a Sunday staple for me.  :)

    Do not go here if you are stuck up, a germaphobe, lame, boring, snobby, etc.  All of us "scummy locals" have something nice and enjoyable going on.  Good comadrie (Spelling?) and great personaliies.  Just good real down to earth people.

    As I walked in, I was rudely greeted by the less-than-subtle odor of chlorine bleach mixed with what couldn't have been anything other than urine and vomit. It was definitely a place where some of the more unsavory locals would go to compete in getting $#!+ faced.

    Before I asphyxiated, I turned on my heels and hurried out the door, avoiding eye contact with the over-tattooed female bartender.

    Whew! That was close.

    Sooo not a fan...

    Something about big dive ghetto bars that just rubs me the wrong way. Places like this and Goat Hill Tavern I avoid like the plague!!

    Scruffy whiskey drinking seniors by day, way to rowdy 20-30 y/o's super drunk and disgusting by night. People are literally falling over all over the place.

    Karaoke here is super annoying- people either screaming or slurring the words... Oh so annoying.

    It's only handleable if I'M super drunk, which doesn't really work since I don't live anywhere near by.

    One of the few bars in the area, which is probably why it is always so crowded. And that is probably also why the OC Sheriff's department makes it a point to park several cars in the parking lot on most nights.

    It's located in the back corner of this small shopping center, so it appears like it would be small. But once you go inside, you can see how big this place really is. I was also really surprised at how many people sing here on karaoke night. The crowd is also very "diverse." And by that I mean you can have several old men sitting at the bar, next to a few "bikers", next to some emo college kids, next to some Bros, etc.

    Try out there corn beef tacos! Mmm. These are really good.

    I would have given this place 2-stars, but because there aren't many bars around this area, it gets 3-stars.

    This place is terrible.  

    The bartender would not serve me when the party i was with moved to the opposite side of the bar.  " Nooooope, youre gonna have to go to the other side if you want anything "

    What?! I'm supposed to take a 10min journey to the other side,  mingling through drunks, to get a drink every 20min ? No thanks.

    Pros: Cant think of 1

    Cons:
    Cops wait just outside the lot for DUI ( seen and heard of this on several occasions )
    *Terrible Service
    *To Catch a Preadator type crowd
    *No moving space
    *Not a true irish pub
    * inconvenient small dirty bathrooms in the back
    *use a system where you can only order from YOUR bartender? What the hell is this?

    BOTTOM LINE: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

    I definitely wouldn't consider Patsy's an Irish pub. However, it is still one of my absolute favorite bars to go to.

    The staff if awesome! Friendly, energetic and on top of things.The karaoke here is incredibly fun. A good mix of singing and dancing. The food is deep fried fatty goodness. The food is probably the one thing that closest resembles an Irish pub.

    It gets really, really crowded as it gets later. It seems like this is a last stop for a lot of bar hoppers on the weekends. Patsy's is just a great place to have a lot of fun.

    I had a great time at Patsy's! We stopped by on a Friday night. This is a fun energetic Irish Pub. It's totally the local hangout and got crowded fast. There is a mixture of all ages ranging from early 20's to late 60's. Everyone is super friendly and having a great time.

    The DJ does a great job of mixing up top hits in between drunken karaoke singers. This crowd is not shy! ;)  Many people sign up to sing, so you may have to wait a while before its your turn. In my case we left before I had my singing debut. Probably a good thing... hahaha

    The bartenders are attentive and have personality. Although I am not a beer drinker, they did have a decent selection of alternative choices. Everything was reasonably priced.

    Big bar area with many TVs playing various sporting events and they even have trivia and other games going on. They also serve food, but I didn't get a chance to sample any so I can't rate the food.

    This review was mainly for the fun-ness of a good ol' Irish Pub experience. I had such a great time and felt so comfortable here I totally look forward to coming back! :)

    One minute I'm at the bar fighting my way in between two older gals attempting to get their groove on to "tonights gonna be a good night", and the next minute I'm in the bathroom listening to some young gals talking about how they lied to their moms about where they were and how much trouble they'll be in if they don't get their story straight.  In Summary: The crowd here is all over the place.

    A few things I noticed:
    -The bartenders are older, smack talkin kinda gals that aren't afriad to yell at you.
    -It appears small from the outside, but it's big inside.
    -Fat Tire, Heinekin, Stella on draft along with standard domestics.
    -Import pitchers are $14, big pitchers.
    -Karaoke Thursday is pretty damn entertaining.

    Stop eyeing my man, cougars.

    We all had a very nice time at Patsy's.

    And the review COULD end there. We did, in fact, have a very nice time. The Crown Royal rocks was poured superfluously, the bartenders were on us with a quickness, and the karaoke was loud and nonstop.

    The four of us just graduated from our training slash boot camp where our brains were taken from mathematical mush and pounded into nice menageries complete with display case and placards. The kind of menagerie where you take a second look, pick up the peacock, and say to the shopkeeper, "my, look at this fine craftsmanship... this artist is brilliant! you just don't see work like this any more... you can actually see the texture in the feathers!"

    So, with our rare specimen brains on the loose the night before we all said our goodbyes and headed home... we stopped into Patsy's for one last beer, one last whiskey. One last toast. The four of us had grown close, almost reality TV close. Cooped up in corporate housing together, and in class for 11 hours a day together, we were about to be let loose into the great world of opportunity.

    We had already been drinking. Not much, but enough. We all had been up since 5am. And I think most of us skipped dinner. A good combination of factors that meant we were either going to get into a fight or shit ourselves.

    Luckily we figured out that one drink was going to be enough, but in that one drink's time:

    * C. almost brawled with some locals (we stole their stools)
    * D. tried to take home every woman over 150lbs
    * Small D. was encouraging all of the behavior
    * I blacked out for a bit and was then brought to consciousness by a sloot around my neck
    * A. cursed us all as I deflected her and all of us left him trapped with the drunk sloot attempting to convince him that she's not easy, that *burp* she just wants someone to talk to and *hiccup* that she's tired of sleeping with people the first time they meet

    I think we were at Patsy's for all of an hour and we also saw:

    * Pear Shaped Guy break a steel chair by siting on it
    * Awesome air guitar by the karaoke dj
    * Odd Elaine from Seinfeld dancing by a skinny dude
    * Pear Shaped Guy singing ballads and touching himself

    We all had a really nice time.

    In Chicago sports pubs are ubiquitous, it's almost impossible to spend a weekend without going to one if you want to keep yourself in decent down to earth company without having to go all clubberhead. In the land of California I was wondering if similar places where darts were played existed anywhere on the horizon.

    After stopping by Champ's, we went out to Patsy's Irish Pub for the main Friday night event. At first, I thought Patsy's was a dive, it was dark and it had a good selection of beers and wasn't all that well maintained. I walked into the game room and found myself in another dimension!

    Pool tables and cork dartboards filled this room to the brink with people stepping out a side door to smoke cigarettes in the alley. Cork dartboards, in California! I couldn't believe my own eyes and then cursed my fate as my old roommates failed to tell me! I was at a bar with cork dartboards WITHOUT my own darts! Could the gods have been crueler? Why was Fate playing such tricks on me : (

    I took the bar darts and started slinging the darts at the board trying to get a feel of the weight and balance of the dart. After awhile some random guy looking like Cobra Kai + 20 years came in with sleeveless shirt and started firing away at the dartboard. I challenged him to a game of cricket and was doing quite well. Eventually it was down to bullseye and Cobra Kai got me! I was mad because I didn't know that there were darts there and I didn't have my darts with me because my old roommates didn't bother telling even though they knew I brought my darts.

    Next time I am in Mission Viejo, I will go back to Patsy's to find Cobra Kai and take him out like Ole Yeller!

    Ive spent many nights at this place...

    This is my regular Friday and Saturday night hangout. Fair drink prices and a mix of people of all ages and races. Inside you'll find plenty of seating (not past 9pm on weekends), a pool table, pinball, and awesome karaoke.

    The karaoke participants: Fun crowd! Definitely NOT the "I need a record deal because I'm awesome!". Some people hit the notes and most don't but all are drunk and having a good time!

    Ive only eaten here a few times. The Cheesesteak is killer though!

    I'm not big on the whole bar/club scene, but when you're in the car along for the ride, you'll go anywhere.

    After a night of going karaoking, we all decided to get a drink....and this place was close enough to all of our houses...and the driver of the car HIGHLY recommended it. Oh, ok then.

    First thing that happened when we got to the door was the bouncer asked for ID (typical, all my friends and I look under 21 anyway). The guy looked at me, looked at my ID (where I look even younger...my pic on there is from when I was 16....) and said "miss, I think this ID is fake." WTF?! I told him I was 24...will be 25 at the end of this year. He started asking me a million questions...then when he thought I was legit, he let me in. Whatever dude.

    Walked in, average bar. Lots of people. They also have karaoke, sweet. One of the friends I was with bought everyone in the group 2 beers, nice! It was fun watching people that are so drunk singing karaoke, or at least trying to. Best part was the old lady (probably in her 70s or 80s) get up on the stage, buzzed, and sing. Classic. And from what I heard, she's there a lot too.

    We were there until closing time which has never happened to me before. But hey, we're in Mission Viejo, closing time is about 1:30am. Anyway. Decent place....but not sure if I'd go again.

    Sweet spot to drink some Guinness and watch (or sing if I wasn't chicken) some karaoke.  Met some funny locals that made the night even better!  The bartenders were super nice and quick!  Thanks ladies!
    I also heard the rumor about nightly DUI's from my date. Yikes!

    Don't even fucking think of walking into this place on a Friday or saturday without a few quintessential items:
    Affliction T-shirt
    Famous Stars and Straps Tank Top
    Shitty black and white tattoos. Tribal preferred
    Your girlfriend with her blonde on top, black underneath 909 haircut
    Her attire should include: sideways mesh hat, some kind of juicy couture item and a puking friend.

    Please sing a night ranger song or creed. its all good bro.

    Ah, faux Irish Pub....   So what does it take to call yourself an "Irish Pub" these days?  Let's see, looks like some fake wood interior detailing and...Guinness.   Check, check.

    This place is all right, I guess, if you don't have anywhere else to go.  And you're in Mission Viejo so, let's be honest, you don't.  The crowd is fairly bro'd out.  Where do all these bro's come from, I wonder?  Is there a bro factory around here?

    Anyway, the bartenders are decent, but the place gets friggin packed on the weekends and it can be somewhat hard to get service at that point.

    Drinks are good, service is aiight, bros are broin' it brocore.

    You can't NOT love a bar that begins to pour you more beer before you're all the way done drinking the one you're on.   (Oops, was that supposed to be a secret?  Shhhh!)

    I can't say the prices are the best, but overall it's a cool little dive.

    I'm not much of a bar/pub crawler these days.... I'm too goddam antisocial for that stuff anymore. Went here for a birthday party the day after Xmas and had a good time, but the large table where I was seated was filled with friends and family, so that stands to reason.

    Bouncers at a neighborhood pub in boring Mission-fucking-Viejo? What's the world coming to? Anyway, our waitress was amazing and earned every cent of her tips. We wanted for naught.

    They have Pyramid Hef on tap, so I was happy in the drinking department. I sampled (as in drank half of) my niece's cocktail, which was something with Midori in it. It was nice and strong, which is always a good sign in any bar.

    I ate appetizers... poppers, chicken, fried cheese, bla bla.... the usual cast of characters. No complaints there. N seemed to enjoy her burger and T enjoyed his soup.

    Within 15 minutes of the karaoke starting up, I unassed and went home. Too goddam loud for my tender ears, plus the place was packed by that time anyway. Too many people in too small an area for my misanthropic self.

    I'd return for another pint or two.

    You always know what you're gonna get at Patsy's:
    1. Dive scene with a mix of people too old to be hanging at the bar on a Saturday night, people just there to sing karaoke, people lookin' for a fight and a sprinkle of hotties
    2. STIFF drinks served up by sassy "aged" women behind the bar

    But, who knew the food was decent.  I was impressed by their coconut shrimp...not too sweet, just the right crispiness, with a tangy sauce.  Also, even if you're not a fan of karaoke, it won't matter 'cause the DJ usually drowns people out with the music.  But, if you are a fan, get there early 'cause it's typically a 2 hour wait to sing.

    Oh Patsy's you and I can be friends. When I am not busy puking in your parking lot. You really don't want to be THAT girl!

    It's true I have been that girl at this establishment on one occasion. But it's because Jan the bartender makes a wicked cocktail and keeps 'em coming nice and smooth right down the 'ol gullet.

    This is a great bar. I come from Long Beach and it is a hard transition to suburban South Orange County! This little gem made it a little easier. It has a little of that Long Beach feel to it (you know kind of crusty around the edges). Everyone seems pretty chill here and I have met some cool people. However it does have it's fair share of the cougars as well. Being a lesbian I haven't met any other lesbians here. Although I did once see one girl grab another girl's breasts on the dance floor and "grabbed" girl freaked out. There is always some great entertainment like that here! I have also met a cougar who told me she would be gay if she wasn't married. But alas i wasn't interested (even after 3 of Jan's drinks)

    Also the food here is good and you get a lot for what you pay for. I didn't eat here the first few times but learned later, the grub is pretty good. So go early and eat, why not? You have to have something in the stomach to catch the booze anyway.

    Now this isn't the cool place to hang if you are in your early 20's. This isn't your bar but hell I am trying to ditch that scene. So if you see me here don't be a dick...say hi and then buy me a round.

    Love this place--great vibe, great servers, and great eats!  They have lots of interesting Irish-esque grub.  Some of the more memorable dishes were the corned beef tacos (which smelled god-awfully authentic to me), the fish 'n' chips, and this potato platter 'o' death thingy that's sure to induce carb-coma.  Think mashed potatoes covered with green onions, criss-cross pressed french fried things, and more cheesy-potatoey goodness.  Seriously, the food is absolutely remarkable for bar fare.  And of course, they have some great mixed drinks (gotta love the "Dublin Lawyer").  

    The patrons are cool, too, when they're not actually fighting with each other (no kidding), and hell, there's karaoke there every damned night 'o' the week!  All this wrapped in an old-style pubby atmosphere tucked away in the corner of a sleepy little stripmall in Mission Viejo.  Check it out; you'll have a shamrockin' good time!  (Yeah, I know, corny as corned beef.)
