I'm an American living in the Netherlands (Gouda to be more specific). We found this place the day…read morewe landed, and have been coming ever since. The staff are fantastic. Ownership and food/drink menu changed in February 2017 and it's a lot better, but the staff is still the same and still awesome! It's great to get a coffee, a drink, a simple or nice meal or spend a late night. Fridays and Saturdays are lively starting around 10 PM.

It is the place where you can enjoy a moment of Gouda all day long! You can enjoy a complete night out with live entertainment and a 3-course dinner of your choice. Every friday and saturday you can swing the night away with the best pianists and drummers from our country. They play all your guilty pleasures from ages ago until the latest hits. You can close the night by dancing until the early hours with the beats of our local DJ!

Paddy's is my favorite bar and I'm not even that much of a bar person. I'd rather go to an event,…read moreconcert or the movies. But Paddy's to me is a fun place. In the weekends they have live music. People are jumping and singing along like there is no tomorrow. This is a nice bar to let loose and forget about the little stuff. No special clothing rules either. Just come as you are. Everyone is laid back. And sometimes you can see people act really funny when they're drunk. You see the most crazy stuff out here. The music selection in itself is not really spectacular. It's middle of the road music and lots of top 40 music, new and old (mostly old) Every favorite song by the likes of Nirvana, Bob Marley, Pearl Jam, Michael Jackson, etc is song and performed by a live band that knows how to generate energy. The people behind the bar are real fun too. Some of them walk around to serve your drinks. If you and your friends are in a silly mood, they love to play along. There is this one kid everyone hits on and he likes it. I wonder on how many mobile photo's he has appeared. It one fun mad house. Don't mind the wood chips on the floor. Part of the unique atmosphere. I heard it makes it easier to soak op and clean spilled alcohol after closing time, hhmmmm.....smart though. You'll see every kind of people from all walks of life. Rugged sports men, girly girls, party animals, shy flowers who where dragged along by their friend and the plain weird but super fun people. Sports lovers can watch football and rugby on big screens and have greasy food and beer to go with it. Paddy's is the bar that everyone knows and eventually ends up.
