Cool pub and a great place for a pint, other drinks and to hang out or watch sports. It's cash only! Feels like an authentic Irish pub.

Cute outside seating! $13 for wine and beer
Candice H.

Pleasantly surprised about this pub. I am not a pub gal. But they have a very cute patio out back, a long bar inside with extra seating, and a long open window to sit at in the front. This is a cash bar, and they don't do anything fancy. There is an ATM if you don't have cash. They do have upgraded wines (Meiomi Pinot for example) at bottle price only. Maybe $45? It wasn't bad. So there are options for everyone. Super chill. Nice people that go here too.

Irish coffee no whipped cream

CASH ONLY! We love stopping by here when we stay in the area. Found Behan's when we were going to dinner across the street but wanted to pregame. Great local Irish Pub. The couple of time we went there Bernie was our Bartender. Many of the customers are local regular. We've met a few on our visits. Everyone is nice and friendly. It's a cool place to hang out. We will be back the next time we fly in.

Extremely terrible experience and it's only with one simple fixable thing: the bartender. The…read morebartender has a very bad attitude. One of the things that happened when I visited this bar was I asked for a simple lemonade. The reason was because I had a soccer game the next day and I didn't want to drink alcohol and I wanted to get some electrolytes in me. It would have been very simple for the bartender to just say, "I'm sorry we don't serve lemonade." Instead what he did is say I worked here 20 years and he never served lemonade and then kept scoffing at me. He kept saying this three times, walking back and forth, up until the point the patron next to me even said, "Don't worry about him." After that without even me talking to him, he said, "Who orders lemonade at an Irish pub?" Then without me saying anything, he said, "No one orders lemonade at an Irish pub." I was honestly just trying to get a drink and he made me feel very dumb. Overall if a patron asks you for a drink, it's very easy just to say, "I'm sorry we can't do that," but he kept making me feel like an idiot. I was also surprised they did not serve lemonade; that's a very simple request. He didn't offer any alternatives except for 7-Up, which I didn't really want but paid for anyway. I ended up not drinking it even after I paid for it and leaving the bar. I guess the bartender got what he wanted. He gave me a drink that was other than lemonade; he made me pay for it and I just left the bar unhappy. I would highly recommend against visiting this establishment, especially with the grumpy bartender. He is an older white Irish guy. I understand they might have your own customers at the bar but I think it costs nothing to treat patrons with respect and not tell them that they're stupid for asking for a drink. Overall I would not recommend this place at all. Very enforced error. Sad!

In all my days bopping around the Peninsula and especially because I have family in Burlingame.. it…read morewas the first time I had ever stepped foot into Paddy Flynn's. Super impromptu meetup with a girlfriend, I said let's try out Paddy Flynn's. We got a Guiness (duh) and a gin and tonic. Bartender was no-nonsense. I expected it to be crowded due to the 49ers/Seahawks game, but we were able to grab a high top. It served its purpose and we were able to catch up over a drink. Crowd was mixed, and even some of the seemingly-random patrons knew each other. It's what you would expect from a pub. Dark. Lively. Straightforward. Will be back.

Parking is a bit hard since it is shared with the hotel. Once you find parking you are greeted by the hotel staff and you walk to the restaurant. As you walk by you are greeted by the other stands that YELP had there for the xmas party. The food was great. We had sliders, pizza bread, garlic fries, fish tacos (I'm not a fan of fish but they were great, not fishy at all and had a pico on them and that was great).

I had the oaxacan after midnight tequila based drink which was strong. Not tasty. Also tried the berry star martini which was a berry vodka based drink - this was delicious. Not too strong, on the sweet side! I opted for the regular fries instead of garlic fries. This was a mistake. Fries were stale, not fresh, should've gone with the garlic fries. Bar servers did not have the bathroom key which was annoying because I wasn't a guest at the hotel so I had to go to the front desk to be let into to restroom each time. Beautiful scenery, great view of the bay and airport. Hotel and bar are right next to the water. Hotel is pretty, very tropical feel inside. Would come back to try their dinner and give bar another chance.

Walked into what is clearly a local institution - the kind of place where regulars know the staff's kids' names. Weekday evening crowd skewed silver-haired, which in my experience is always a good omen. These people have been eating out for decades - they know where the bodies are buried and where the good food is. Server was legitimately excellent. Paced the order so apps didn't collide with entrees - a simple move that most places fumble. Checked in without hovering. Knew the menu cold. Then this happened: I asked for a Pliney. He asked, "Elder or Younger?" That's when I had to pause. In all my years of ordering Plineys, no one has ever asked me that. Because no one has ever randomly had Pliney the Younger on tap. These guys did - apparently a locally advertised special that had been going on that day. They had a Keg of this rare stuff, and it was depleting quickly. I got the Younger on repeat till I was barely stumbling out of the place. Life is good. Ordered the Cheesesteak and it was legit - not playing around. The family went burgers, hot dogs, and wings. Zero complaints across the board. Bar fare done right, priced right, with zero pretension. Sometimes the best finds are the ones you didn't plan for.

This recent trip…read morewas actually my second time here, though the first time feels like forever ago (some time pre-pandemic). LOCATION: Its home is within the Burlingame Plaza, next door to a Lunardi's grocery store. It's located directly across from the Mills-Peninsula Medical Center on the corners of Trousdale and El Camino Real. PARKING: There generally is enough parking, though you may have to walk a bit further depending on the time of day and how busy it is. The lot and area seem safe, even at night when other things in the shopping center have closed down. INSIDE: We went on a Sunday evening, around 6pm to watch the Sunday Night Football game. It was actually pretty busy, though there was some bar and highboy seating as well as a couple tables still available. We went with the traditional table because the older we get, the more we appreciate back support. There are TVs EVERYWHERE. Most of the walls are lined with TVs, playing a variety of sports, but mostly whatever's local or the "main game". It's also pretty loud-you're still able to have a conversation amongst a smaller group of people, but you definitely have to be listening intently. There is a lot of cool, mostly local, sports memorabilia. They have a whole Giants corner, in addition to lots of Niners autographed jerseys, helmets, and footballs. There's also a wall with dozens of autographed baseballs. We took some time to look at the names, and noticed the likes of Mickey Mantle, Willie McCovey, and plenty of other Hall of Famers! DRINKS: Their drink menu consists of 10+ white wine, 6 red wine, and 2 sparkling wine options available by the glass or the bottle. They have bottled beer (domestic, imports, and microbrew) and cans (White Claw, High Noon, Wyder's Pear Cider, Ace Joker apple cider, and Guinness). They also have a couple non-alcoholic beer options, and other non-alcoholic options (coffee, tea, Pepsi products, juice, and Arnold Palmers). They also have over a dozen beers on tap, as well as a full bar that can provide shots and likely make most cocktails. Prices for most drinks are actually quite reasonable for the area--on par with a sports bar more than a fancy restaurant. FOOD: Their menu is surprisingly big for what seems to be a shopping center sports bar. For apps, they have a lot of typical bar food options (fries, onion rings, potato skins, mozzarella sticks, wings, chicken tenders, sliders, quesadillas, tacos, and even Lumpia). There is a section with half a dozen tasty sounding salads, available in full or half sized portions. There is also a separate section for their chili, which is served in a cup or bowl, with shredded cheese, chopped onion, sour cream, and fresh jalapenos. The sandwich portion of the menu runs 10+ deep with options such as burgers, a patty melt, Philly cheese steak, grilled and Buffalo fried chicken, salmon, BLT, and even a hotdog or polish dog (technically not a sandwich)! The entree section has some bangers too, with items like BBQ ribs, NY steak, grilled or blackened salmon, linguini, chicken parm, ravioli, and meatballs. I love that this section has an Italian flair, and want to come back to try things like the chicken parm! This most recent trip we went with friends and split a few things amongst the groups. I got the patty melt, with a side of chili. The melt was solid, not spectacular. I would have liked the grilled onions cooked a little more. The chili was also good, not great. We got all the accoutrements on the side, which allowed us to try it on its own first, then add as we go. Our friends ordered a Chinese chicken salad, and a burger basket with onion rings. They both finished their meals and noted that they enjoyed them! OVERALL: While this is basically a bar, it's also a restaurant. There were several children under the age of 10 running around screaming that were part of larger groups. Not sure if there's a specific time when minors are no longer allowed? The service was friendly enough, and the bathrooms were clean when we went. This is for sure a great spot to grab a drink, bite to eat, and watch a sports game or 3! IG: @bbnem.eats

Parking can be a little sparse, but if you're down to walk a block or two, you're set. Service is simple and easy. Walk in, order at the bar, and grab a buzzer that lights up and vibrates when your food's ready. The space itself is very cool. Tons of big TVs playing sports, rows of pinball machines ready to eat your quarters, and a laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out. And the food? It HITS. Huge, juicy wings sauced to absolute perfection. Definitely do half-and-half for max flavor fun. The burger also delivers -- super juicy and made me feel borderline primal while sipping a cold beer. Only hiccup was asking for pepper jack and getting blue cheese instead, but the bar was super apologetic and comped us a free beer for the mix-up. Shoutout to them for that. The beer menu leans lighter, crisper, and a little sweeter, with lots of lagers and ciders. Everything I tried was genuinely tasty. Overall, like I said... I'm absolutely coming back to work my way through the rest of their food and beer lineup.

The venue itself is cool, it 's basically just a warehouse and has a good amount of seating and lots of pinball machines (fun). Not sure if this is normal for them or if their taps were broken but they only had 1 beer and 1 cider available and they were being served out of a red cooler at just above room temperature. 2 of our dishes came out after 10 minutes and after 30+ minutes, I had to ask about our other friend's food that never came out to which they couldn't find the ticket for and ended up refunding. I ordered the burger, which was good. My friend ordered the tacos, which she enjoyed. I also got the churros which none of their menus (online or in person) mentioned were filled - these were not good. Probably wouldn't have gotten them if I knew they were filled. Wasn't a terrible experience but wasn't great either.. my friend hypes this place so I might give it another try but as of that one visit, not impressed.
