Patrick's Irish Bar — Restaurant in San Juan

Dark lighting, loud "urban" music playing (which I found weird for it supposed to be an Irish bar/grill/whatever it was. Drink prices not bad and overall vibe was ok even though wasn't really my type of place. However when we left to check out they threw on a "Table charge" for sitting at a table? I don't know what else you would do there bedsides sit at a table? It felt like a cheap way to squeeze out an extra $9.

Reply: You actually did not say a word to me. You're thinking of the wrong person. In regard to the table charge saying it's automatically put on by the POS system, well that's because the owner or manager programed it to add it, they don't come programed to do that from the factory. This wasn't attacking you as a person, just my thoughts on the bar. As far as the menu stating the "Table Service" upcharge it may have but I certainly didn't see it nor did anyone else in my party, it was very dark like I already stated and most likely printed small and/or in an easily ignored spot like most are, I'm just assuming this last sentence though. Thanks anyways for...

I’ll start by saying the guy was nice. Not sure if he was the owner or not.

However, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GOING HERE FOR HOOKAH!!! Tried coming here on a Sunday and although online said they were open, they were not. Tried again and they were finally open. I ordered the hookah and initially it was fine. After about 15 minutes, I noticed it was very weak. I lifted the foil and the bowl was damn near empty. I showed my server the photo attached and he said “do you want a refill because it was full when I packed it”. Hookah doesn’t “evaporate”, it burns down so how can it go from “full” to this? He finally agreed to refill it for free and of course same issue. I guess because the hookahs were half off, I received half of the hookah. It was so bad, I left after roughly 45 min of trying to let it warm up, trying to poke more holes, etc. Ultimately, it just wouldn’t pull. Just be careful and check...

Of my 4 years living in PR I’ve always had terrible service wherever I go or servers have a nasty attitude but not at Patrick’s! I always get served by a male that works there ( I didn’t catch his name) but he is always very attentive and is constantly checking in. When you are not enjoying your food or hookah he will gladly replace it or try to give you the best solution. I always tip him a little extra because it’s the best service I’ve had in PR, as good service here is hard to find. I’ve only had one bad experience because we had a new server, which got our orders wrong and as usual had an attitude, but it was quickly solved by the other staff. I commend Patrick’s on their great service and great hookah!

BTW their wings are amazing!! Food is incredible and hookah is...
