But seriously, my girlfriend and I went in on Thursday night. My lady went into a strange medical episode as we were getting out of our Uber. Chuck, the owner, and Sydney, one of the servers were truly two of the most amazing people I’ve met. Her blood sugar had dropped incredibly low…We’re both totally blind, and she’d gone non-verbal. I kinda of freaked, but they handled it like pros. I was unaware she had issues with blood sugar, so was kind of at a lost as to what to do. Chuck came over to check on us, saw I was holding her up as she was about to fall, and he and Sydney immediately jumped into action. They got her into her chair, got some OJ, water and crackers in her and she came back to life. We had poppers, I had a couple beers and shots of Jameson. One of the customers noticed she was starting to fade again, and got us an Uber home, which was appreciated. They kept checking on her, and really just made us feel like family. I suppose any place might have done the same, but the staff at The Paddy Wagon has left an impression, and i think I’ve found my favorite bar on my first night in Kentucky."

Since it was snowing, I didn't get to check out the outdoor area, but it definitely looks like a fun spot for better weather. The service was excellent and the beer was cold, though I found the $7 drafts to be a bit steep for the area. As for the food, the poppers were standard frozen fare and the $10 flat bread pizza was basic, decent for the price, but nothing to write home about. That said, I'm sure there are better items on the menu that I just haven't tried yet, especially with the daily specials they offer. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean for an Irish pub, although I did get a laugh out of the broken tiles in there clearly some people have had a bit too much fun with the walls, Overall, it’s a cool, safe spot to hang out and chat, and I'd definitely go back for the atmosphere and service."

Everyone in our group felt really well taken care of. The food was delicious, and everything came out hot and fresh. It was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy good conversation, and not feel rushed. Such a welcoming place for a group meetup. We’ll definitely be back!"
