Paddy Whacks Irish Sports Pub - South Street — Restaurant in Philadelphia

My sister and I got there literally just after 5 and we went inside to find out where we should sit. We decided to sit outside. Later on our waitress came out and took our order. Just for appetizers. While we were waiting for our appetizers she seated another table and we heard her mention to them that the appetizers were half price. At no time did she notify us that the appetizers were half price. Apparently this is something that starts at 5 p.m., a happy hour special. Our food, which was an appetizer sampler, was slightly over done with the exception of the mozzarella sticks and the onion rings. Everything else could have been a little less toasted. It almost gave it a weird taste. The potato skins were definitely too done. The cheese was no longer the color of cheese and the edges of the potato were not very edible. Eventually we ended up ordering sliders, which was actually one Burger cut up into four pieces and then put on to small potato rolls. I've never seen a restaurant cut up a whole burger and call it slider. On top of that sliders didn't have much flavor. It was almost as if they were baked instead of cooked on a skillet. Overall I probably wouldn't go back. We went with a Groupon offer. Perhaps this is why there was a Groupon offer for this restaurant. They needed to drum up...

We went on open mic comedy night, not knowing about it. We were seated on the other side, presumably because we didn't come for the comedy. Their menu is really only "pub grub", but that doesn't mean bad. We started with their wings, half extra spicy, half mild. They were excellent. We both had the onion soup, which was also really good. He got the bacon cheese burger and I got the chili burger. Both came with hand sliced chips (not fries) which were surprisingly good and far better than a single snack bag would be. He enjoyed his burger, but I liked mine better the next day. The menu had described the burger as being served open faced topped with a lot of chili. There was chili, but it only covered the top of the burger and cheese was on top of that. Still good, but not exactly as described. I had eaten a bit before going, so I took most of the burger home with me along with the rest of the chips. I was quite pleased with the reheated version, I'm assuming because the flavors had...

Horrible service! Went here for the St. Patrick’s Day Bar Crawl and had the most unpleasant experience of my life.

Racist bartenders — had a problem getting served while all of my friends (not black) and tens of others got served immediately; my white male friend agreed to order for me and was served immediately. When we switched places at the bar for me to receive my drink, they moved it several feet down the bar. I had one beer at another place prior and was not drunk or disorderly.

I ordered and paid for a double vodka cranberry and it tasted like straight juice.

I also ordered one green tea shot — I was told there were no green tea shots being served. The same white male friend ordered three green tea shots and was serviced.

Watered down drinks, subpar music and some of the worst service of my life…was so embarrassed and upset I wanted to cry in the middle of the place.

Would not ever recommend and will never be a patron of this...
