Paddy Wagon Irish Pub — Restaurant in Florida

We went to this bar to end the night with a group of 7 friends (most of us 22 and over). As soon as we walked in, my friend walked up to the bar to try to order a drink. After he handed the bartender his ID he walked away, mid-order, to ID the rest of the group. The only comment made by my group was confusion about why he walked away mid-order. The bartender with the white glasses was highly offended by this comment and proceeded to question how old we were. He barked that we had to be 21 to enter the bar, which was odd because they should ID at the door if that is the case. I immediately felt that the interaction was off so I asked said bartender for our ID's back so that we could leave. He then threw, like literally threw our ID back and said " okay then leave". He told me that I looked like a baby and that maybe I should grow a beard. Very rude considering I felt that I handled the situation with full respect. Wouldn't recommend if you want to have...

Kendall & Sam Are Amazing & Attentive Bartenders . Ask For Them When You Come In I Promise You Won’t Be Disappointed !

Update : I Lied . Very disappointed and embarrassed . Went here for my friends birthday because we come here often . I ordered my drinks and I’m standing at the bar waiting to pay . The bartender goes to the other end of the bar and has the people at my table get up to get the drinks and tab while I’m still waiting with the money … we enjoy the drinks . Leave cash on the receipt holding and hand it to one of the bar tenders . We leave go to get in our cars & the bartender chases us outside with a a terrible attitude saying we didn’t pay our tab . When we told her we paid it she said she didn’t see it .. When in fact we did . She chased us out before even checking . Kendall is very sweet always gives great service but that other little bartender . Hell no. I’m not sure if it was...

I love The Paddywagon and usually have a blast there. The drinks are awesome, the vibe is great, and it's been our spot for a weekly chill-out with my partner.

But this Christmas Eve was a bummer. Forgot my ID, got turned away - fair enough. Then I hustled back with a new Lyft ride but got stopped again. This time, the guard didn’t dig my U.S. issued Mexican ID card. Apparently, they wanted something else or a passport. But seriously, who carries a passport for a pub hangout?

It sucked not being able to join the Christmas vibe, but hey, not letting it ruin my night. Still, it was a letdown from my usual good times there.

Hope they rethink their ID rules 'cause it's a buzzkill for regulars like me. Hoping for better luck next time. Happy New Year to The Paddywagon crew - hoping for smoother...
