| Very good as a sports pub, TV screen everywhere showing up to 3 different programmes at a time. Not the sort of place you would go for a drink with your girlfriend during I don't think. However it is good for a late night boogey. Now I know it's an Irish pub but it would be nice if they could do proper beer or two. I know very few people that drink John Smiths Extra Smooth as all these sort of places seem to dispense. Also the fizzy stuff they do sell is quite pricey. Decent outside smoking area and toilets pretty decent too. rwjc22 - 27 Apr 2011 23:07 |
| I have been working oversea for the last 2 years and now back in the home town of Beckenham and you know what this place has just got better. The sport coverage now must be one of the best in South London with good cold decent beer be it a pint or a bottle. The selection of bottled beer must be the best place in town. The toilets are as clean as ever. Good crowd no young chavs and thank God no attitude like next door in O Neils. Excellent door policy and when the football is on they do not tolerate the lemonade and coca cola gang, who the drink the melting ice and take up space, watch the ice melt, suck the bubbles , all in 2 hours. A good example of this is one of the last postings, NJ201, I was there she was ordered a tap water, lets set the record straight, HOW RUDE CAN SHE BE. Good variety of music on the weekends and excellent staff, you dont wait too long here to get served no matter how busy. Great place for a good drink, no kids, good doormen and tv in the beer garden, quality. Patrick is a top bloke and always makes you feel welcome, thank God all the trash and cheap skates go to O Neils, just makes this place better, typical example one of the last posts NJ2010 BECKENHAMFRED - 4 Sep 2010 02:17 |
| I noticed a guy staring at me from the end of the bar - if I was in a bad mood Id have asked what he was looking at - but later on I saw him collecting glasses, so either he works there/owns it - or just likes helping people put glasses on the bar. Anyway - not too bad, Im not a sports type person but THIS place IS - but thats ok - the decor etc was alright, I might even go as far as saying its the best pub in Beckenham - much better atmosphere than O'Neills next door - but I went in the afternoon on a week day - my brother tells me later on it gets VERY busy - so go midday/afternoon if you want a quiter drink. adamwalsh - 6 Aug 2010 21:55 |
| DON"T GO UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF! Went to Patrick's on Sunday to watch the football with a friend, have been to the place several times on a Saturday night for a few drinks before heading on further but on Sunday I wasn't drinking as I had been out the night before. I've noticed before that Patrick's can be on the expensive side but never had I expected 6.00 for an orange and a soda water!! When I challenged the bar lady (thinking that surely she had made a mistake) she confirmed that in fact that was the correct price! I then had two others say they had only paid 6.50 for two pints of Fosters and that was alcohol! I was totally dumbfounded as to how this could be so decided to ask the landlord who was perched at the end of the Bar. I politely asked Patrick the Manager why he was charging so much for water and orange his reply was "if you want a free drink go home and have one", "this bar doesn't run itself you know!" I replied "do I look like I want a free drink after paying 6.00 for two soft ones?" and asked him why he was being so rude when I was simply asking a question to which he replied "I'm telling you if you don't like it leave"! I didn't want to make a scene and embarrass myself and he probably would have got me chucked out and people would have assumed I was drunk! I wish! At least it would have cost me less! On talking to the other people in there I learnt that in fact Patrick decides what he charges people, regulars get a pint for 3.00 others have to pay 3.50, he also has a bar in Crystal Palace that's losing money. It's now apparent that's may be why he has such a rude and ignorant mannerism. about him. I myself come from a big Irish family, Patrick's should be representing the warmth and friendly manner of the Irish renowned the world over but unfortunately Patrick the Manager has made a mockery of this. Such a shame because I and several other people I know will not venturing into Patricks anymore out of sheer principal. It will be O'Neills now because although it can be a bit young, it has better music, cheaper drinks and if your with the right people that's all you ever need. nj2010 - 10 May 2010 22:00 |
| Better than O'Neils next door (though that isn't saying much). Ideal pub to watch football/six nations in. Decent enough beer. sir_adam_of_downham - 3 Nov 2009 15:59 |
