There is a sit-down restaurant part, and then a pub in the back. You can get food and beer in either one, so it's really up to what kind of atmosphere you're looking for, and whether you've got kiddos in your party. The first time my boyfriend and I came here, we opted for a sit down dinner before heading into the pub to play darts and pool. I ordered the bangers and mash, and he the cottage pie. I wanted to bury my face in the mash. Actually, it's the gravy that really makes that dish. Bangers were proper bangin' themselves, but oh man, that brown gravy...! The cottage pie was solid, but we agreed that I had the top notch dish. They have a proper nice dart board, although it is rather awkwardly placed between the bar and the bathrooms, so we had to stop often to let folks pass. Then we settled in for a couple rounds of pool. The table seems steady and level, and there are a fair amount of pool cues of varying lengths. A game costs 4 quarters, and it's easy to get change at the bar.
Our second visit was to kill some time on Super Bowl Sunday before going to a friend's house to watch the game. This time we just had a few beers, a sampler platter appetizer, and played pool. Everything tasted well, however, all that fried food sat heavy with me for the rest of the night. It wasn't like it was overly greasy or anything, so that could just be me.
The most recent visit was a double date with friends, and we did pretty much all of the above: me with my giant platter of bangers and mash wishing I could swim in the gravy, an Irish nachos appetizer, beers, darts, pool, and this time we even jumped on the juke box. We had a really great evening. It was plenty busy, but not so crowded that we couldn't enjoy ourselves.
I should also mention that in all of these visits, the staff are all super friendly. Not fake friendly, just consistently amiable, from servers to bartenders. My boyfriend and friend even sat down and chatted with the owner for a bit while my friend's husband and I got engrossed in a game of pool. The fellow patrons are a decent crowd too. This is in a rather tucked away place, so it's mostly locals who are there to meet up with friends, watch a game, etc. I think I can safely say that Patricks is definitely one of our go-to spots.
