Hit and Miss. Can sometimes be good and a laugh but at other times can be a bit verminous.

Loud, smokey and packed on weekends. Oh, did I mention ear-splittingly loudy music? Pardon me, for my ears are still ringing from the other night and I must have forgotten. Did I mention the smoke can be so thick you can't see from one end of the bar to the other on a bad night? Poor selection of slightly overpriced beer, though not nearly as costly as the Bridge Bar across the street or competitors such as La Rascasse. At least the pub has some atmosphere. A slightly older crowd frequents here as compared to O'Neills next door, and if you're in on time, the pub stays open late. In the end, it's one of the better choices in town

Crowded, noisey and smokey - it certainly can be but that's usually confined to the weekend when most people prefer somewhere lively to spend their Saturday night. To be fair, i think one of the best things about this pub is its varying atmosphere - a relaxed, quiet pub for a few pints after work during the week changing to a popular, lively bar at the weekend with a great mix of music. Messers aren't tolerated. Toilets are spotless. As for the real ale, its an Irish pub and understandably Guinness is king.

good wee blokey type pub. do a very decent pint and staff are nearly always efficient and pleasant, just some of em are sometimes a little surly and slow. good place for watching football and the toilets are nearly always very clean.

Hate to disagree with the comments so far, but here goes. Patricks is a noisy, smoke filled, lager louts dream! No real ale, just the usual choice of mind altering lagers. The TV was babbling on, and was so loud I couldn't even have a conversation, if I want to watch TV I can watch it at home.

Patricks is my favourite place to booze all weekend. I always end up there. Especially on Super Sunday. I would recommend this place.
Fantastic place to chill out in especially the fireplace.
Have become friends with the owner; he likes me. A Boozer ; it's what I am.

It's not really an imitation Irish pub as the owner is Irish and it's frequented by a few real Irish Guinness drinkers!! It's also not a chain, which I see as a plastic paddy requriement. That said, it has got some naff stuff on the walls and the outside colour scheme is very off-putting.
The staff are excellent and the facilities are spotless. As it's not huge, it doesn't take any time at all to get served and the selection of spirits is extraordinary.
It's easily the best place to go after a nightmare commute to Beckenham Junction!

i must had caught this place on a bad night, bar staff were good enough and it was busy, but not too busy. Few t*ssers in there though which was rather annoying - must of had too many guinesses.

nice place, relaxed, no idiots, good cold beer, clean toilets, good provider of a range of sports on tv,various plasma screens and big screens, the bar staff are good you dont have to wait long for a drink even when it is really busy, also the staff are pleasant and female staff attractive. i have had a few sunday roasts and they were pleasing to the stomach. irish owned and run, not one of the fakes, well done

An imitation Irish pub that is housed under empty flats and was knocked up cheaply with some Irish frippery on the walls. You know, an Irish rugby shirt and some Guinness beer mats on the wall, Hey presto - Irish bar. Seems to get totally packed though, so they must be doing something right.

Great stout! Reasonably priced and an excellent accompanyment to their Beef & Guinness Pie. I hadn't realise they served food but was told it was only at the weekend - I wouldn't have known this as normally I pop in for a quiet one during the week when it's the perfect place for the after-work wind down.

An authentic Irish pub, not part of a chain. Sells excellent Guinness, and at a reasonable price (for Beckenham).
