Favorite spot for post game drink and wind down. The open layout is awesome and we like the patio with yard games. They have the games streaming so we never feel like we're missing out, similar energy to inside the stadium sometimes Usually they have good drink specials going on, reasonable buckets, and bogo bombs. Service is fast and accurate, prices are so good. Its a STL Classic! read more

Don't waste your time! We spent 15mins walking to this location after using Yelp to confirm the hours of operation. To our surprise, the place was CLOSED, not a single light on in or outside the building. The site says open until 1am. We arrived at 9pm, not a person in sight. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR HOURS! read more

Paddy O's is the OG Cards game staple since it's been around for a longgggg time. I came here after a game and it's exactly as I remember it. Super open with loud music, quick bar staff, and lots of places to stand around with a group. We made our way into the patio and there really weren't a ton of tables out, so we found ourselves around the perimeter of the patio fence. They also have seating on the turf area. It's a good place to take a group- get there early if you want a table/ chairs. read more

Last call at 8pm and worker said "GTFO"? But website says open until 2am. What are the hours, i've never heard of a bar closing this early especially on a saturday night. read more

This place is always hopping. If you want a great pre-party spot before a game, Paddy O's is it. Great outdoor area to watch everyone going to the game. Servers were on their game and made the stay fun. So much fun, we almost blew off the game. Nuttin like a little luck of the Irish to start a great night!! read more

Paddy O's is one of the best places to be before, during, and after a cardinal game in St. Louis. It's got a huge outdoor space, an upstairs and downstairs usually with either live music or a DJ. It's a vibe. The food is upscale bar food. They have every single liquor you can think of. It's a staple for a Cardinal game. read more

Paddy O's - Sports Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Paddy Os is no frills but boasts a stellar outdoor space with tons of seating options. It definietly isn't as loud or crowded as many of the eateries in Ballpark Village. We came in on gameday to enjoy $20 domestic buckets and a bite to eat. (You can get a mix of bud light, budweiser, bud select, busch light, miller lite, coors lite as well as Yuengling.) Our server was attentive, and food came out relatively quick. I had the chicken sandwich and it hit the spot. My kiddos inhaled their cheese burgers, no complaints. Though I will say $9 for a hot dog is a bit steep-- it definitely was the least appetizing of anything anyone in my party ordered. I can't say I feel the need to return to Paddy O's? But I do think it is a nice establishment off the beaten path to enjoy a STL Cards game. read more

Just a stones throw from Busch stadium, beers are reasonable and snack food that hits the spot! Add friendly, quick service, fully stocked beverage options, indoor and outdoor seating, diehard Cards and sports crowd, and it's a perfect stop ahead of any home ballgame! Overall, a solid 3.5 rating for me, with apps/food ranging $5-12pp. Today, ordered some Traditional Wings (1/2 Buffalo Hot, 1/2 Dry Rub), a Smash-burger with cheese and condiments, plus a side of Green beans. Perfect for 2 to share with a couple cold bevvies! The wings were tender, tasty and served hot; I actually enjoyed their famous dry rub ones best! The burger wasn't fancy, but a good snack as pregame food eats. Sautéed Green beans were freshly made - checked off my veggie for the day. If you want to grab a drink and snack before a game (and not get raked over the coals for ballpark costs), stop into Paddy O's 1-2 hrs ahead of a game. Enjoy! read more

After all the baseball games I have been to, this is the first time I have been to Paddy O's. It's a great place to go to before and after the baseball game. They don't have much of a menu but what they have is quite tasty. We both got smash burgers with fries. The only other side they had was green beans. It also has a full bar. It is a very large area. read more

Paddy O's - Sports Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Stopped by around the 8th inning of the Cardinals baseball game. Place was mostly empty at that point. Bartender was friendly and informed me that only pizzas were being served postgame. We ordered a margarita, a Jack/coke, and a sausage pizza. Margarita was large and served full in a 16ounce plastic cup. Good quality. Jack and coke was on the weak/too sweet side and was cut with water in a smaller 6 ounce cup. Just ok. The pizza was a 4/10. If you are coming from the game and had a few drinks and you like frozen pizza, then you'll be fine with the $5 pizza. ($5 pizza offered postgame Sun thru Thursday) Place has a smaller bar area, a larger open air bar, a large outdoor area with games and a rooftop bar area. Wish we could have tried some of the apps/burgers. Situated next to the park it is convenient and expansive. It filled up a bit quick when the game ended. Nicer bars and eats and the opposite side of the ballpark that I'd check out before this one. Stop by for a beer and bags (aka cornhole) if you'd like. Seems like a 20's to 35 age range target. DJ on site even on a Thursday. read more

Paddy O's - a black bird on a brick wall - Sports Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

What a great place to watch the game and have some great food. I've always heard of this place being the "party" place to go to if you want to do just that. Well, we came here in a Sunday during COVID, so the crowd was very light. We sat at the bar and had a couple drinks and thought we should try out the menu. We had the chili and a chef salad and I was floored! I really hope their food menu doesn't go unnoticed by everything else. Don't get me wrong, I love ski ball, top gold and shooting some hoops, but their food is amazing! It's a must to stop by for a drink and some great bites. read more

Paddy O's - Outdoor area with the Stadium view in sight. - Sports Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Typical college/sports bar turned "club" at night. We were recommend this place by a local following the Cards game. It was okay. Nothing special. Decent music and okay drinks. If I was in the area after the game I'd probably come back but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Great place for a pre or post game beer. Lots of space so not crowded. Plenty of tables.

3.5 Stars. If a batter was standing at home plate and hit a foul ball over Busch Stadium, it could fly over Interstate 64 then onto the roof top patio deck of Paddy O's. It is that close to Busch Stadium. Years prior to Ballpark Village, Paddy O's has been a Cardinals Nation hangout since 1998. They promote themselves as St. Louis' Oldest Sports Bar. Paddy O's is located south of Busch Stadium. It is one of the few downtown restaurants that is south of Interstate 64. By ways of 8th Street it is a short walk under an elevated Interstate 64 then along a sidewalk on the northern periphery of a parking lot. Speaking of a parking lot, this is a popular Busch Stadium parking lot. There are approximately 100 surface level parking spots. Parking is complimentary when the Cardinals are away. On the days that the Cardinals play up the street, they charge to park three hours before the first pitch. The neat thing is that if you show your receipt, they will reward you with a free drink. Considering that their menu offers 40 different varieties of beer this is a good spot for a Cardinals inspired drink. This is also a good spot for pre-Cardinals grub. Before the last Cardinals game we attended we did just that. Good grub wasn't always the case here. It was last year (2017) when Paddy O's made the decision to go bat for bat against the newer eateries in Ballpark Village. Instead of striking out, they were going for the home run. And their home run hitter is a culinary chef named CJ Baerman. He is known as the BBQ Madman. When you marry two St. Louis icons: the Cardinals and BBQ, you have an establishment worth visiting. The BBQ Madman extended the typical bar food menu into an expanded St. Louis BBQ menu. It includes: ribs by the bone, two kinds of signature pork sausage, homemade pulled pork egg roll, four different sliders, half a smoked chicken, pair of tacos stuffed several different ways, & Jasmine rice bowl topped with smoked tri-tip The food is reasonably priced. It is quality. While the Cardinals next store are practicing for a winning game, The BBQ Madman and/or his crew get to Paddy O's every morning around 6 to start the smokers. And while the Cardinals are hibernating, the BBQ is on top of his game approximately 365 days a year. When the baseball stadium goes dark, the lights stay on at Paddy O's. It was not the smokers that I noticed when I walked into a building that would be at home in a college town. The first thing I noticed was the large room with a bar. In contrast to a few hours later when the Cardinals were live, it was sparsely populated on a weekday afternoon. We made our way into the adjoining room at the left. The Cardinals memorbelia created a cool spot for a pre-Cardinals grub. Our table overlooked a giant black Cardinal perched on a baseball bat. The St. Louis Cardinals certainly created a sense of place. If I was more adventurous I could of explored the basement level and the upper semi-enclosed rooftop patio. Instead I chose to explore the menu. The menu was mainly one page. It included the food that the BBQ Madman and his crew create in the kitchen. I ordered the Tri-Philly Cheesesteak at $7 and crispy seasoned fries at $2. Being attentive to detail, I observed that they serve Red Gold Ketchup in lieu of the standard Heinz or Hunts. With the food, I ordered a Coke. The Tri-Philly and seasoned fries overall were good yet nothing spectacular. If this was a St. Louis Cardinals hit, it would be a third base hit instead of a Grand Slam. Ditto for the service. read more

Security told me I was not allowed in as a gay man with a bag but that my heterosexual female friend was allowed in because her bag was considered a purse. I told them they could check my small bag and they declined stating it was against their policy. When I stated I felt like this was discriminatory, the bouncer laughed at me and told me to leave. None of their staff would tell us their names and continued to laugh in our faces. I left in tears and felt extremely uncomfortable in this space. I just wanted to have a fun night out with my friends, but that experience was denied. Would love to talk to the business owner about ways in which they are policing their guests. I read several reviews regarding new belt loop policy and now men cannot wear bags? It seems as if they want a very specific cliental at this establishment and are not prioritizing diversity and inclusivity. I respect safety guidelines, but they need to be consistent and staff need to work on respectful communication. read more

I have been to Paddy O's several times before and after Cardinals games. What a fun place with great food and drinks! They are conveniently located right next to Busch Stadium and they have a huge space with plenty of seating. They have a huge inside with many tables or areas to stand along with an area near the front reserved for dining only. There is also a large, covered patio that is upstairs with a full bar and food. They also have an outdoor patio on the main floor with bags game. I like coming here before games because they are so close to the stadium and have reasonably priced and delicious food. There are several varieties of sliders for $3. My favorite is the turkey with aioli, which is so tender and flavorful. Paddy O's also has tacos, ribs sold individually vs. a whole rack, loaded nachos, burgers and much, much more. In addition to the food, they have an expansive drink selection. Many choices of beer in cans or on draft and full bar for mixed drinks. Service is friendly and when you dine in they check in on your table frequently. After games, they have a DJ that plays some great dance music where people hang out to dance, listen to music or have a few drinks. Great place to hang out while you wait for the stadium crowd to clear out. Paddy O's is a perfect stop before or after baseball games, but I would also consider coming here for lunch or dinner due to the food or great patio on a nice weather day! read more

Before the game Monday night (where the Cardinals pulled it off in the bottom of the 8th!!) Julia R. and I stopped by Paddy O's. We've passed it up a million times and kept walking into the stadium, but Monday we wanted to have a couple $4 beers before we started paying for the $9 ones, ya dig? Summary: awesome spot to check out before the game OR awesome place to go if you don't have tickets and want to watch the game in the midst of all of the downtown action. You can hear the announcers from the patio:). Even though lines were long at the bar for drinks, the service was quick. We got 2 Busch and only paid $9, which of course you know is the cost of ONE measly Bud Select inside of the stadium. Downstairs you can order BBQ and other bar food options from their servers. Naturally, we headed up to the awesome 2nd floor patio. They had a huge bar up there with bags games, tons of tables, and really loud pop music. It was loud, but it was the vibe. Julia beat me in both games of bags we played and then we heard the game start so we headed to Busch for the action. If you're looking for a pre-game spot that's not quite as bro-y as BPV, you found your spot! read more

I love going to paddy o's before a cards game to get some cheap beer. Their buckets are only $20 and the food is really good for the price too! I always go for the chicken sandwich which is $6. Such a deal! They usually have live music on the weekends and there is a lot of space, inside and out! Great bar to go to anytime really. read more

Ok, I agree the venue facilities are huge, great and in some ways preferable to Balllark Village. My gripe is the passion of service and love in the food. Nice servers, not rude but not fun, no enthusiasm, nothing to enhance the ballgame experience. Burger is tiny, bread not fresh. Fries are from frozen which was ok. Nachos just same as in the stadium. Wings just from microwave/infrared like in convenience store. Really a lost opportunity for a great destination read more

Paddy O's is a great spot to stop for late night dancing and good drinks. We were in town for mine and a friend's birthday looking for a place to hang out for the evening. I randomly came across this and decided to go. There was a huge line to get in because a baseball game had just ended but it went super quickly. The DJ was playing some really good variety of music and they took requests which made it even more fun. The bartenders were on top of things and drinks were reasonably priced. I'd come back here all the time if I lived nearby. read more

Last night I had a DJ embarrass me in front of my friends. I requested a song from an artist that was previous playing before I got in. The response the DJ gave me was " FUCK NO " it's not the type of environment for that but continued to play songs similar to that one. Then my friend went up there to request the music with no problem. I will be leaving a review for racism and I will never be there again! read more

My boyfriend was in a wedding at this venue last night and everything was going great until the end of the night. We went to go find our backpack before leaving and our chairs were gone. All of other wedding party's items were put on the table, but our small backpack was nowhere to be found. We asked multiple staff members who were putting chairs away if they have seen this backpack and all of them said no. We are convinced an employee stole this backpack because all other guests' items weren't missing. There were very important sentimental items in that bag that cannot be bought again. So warning you future customers, don't trust the employees! read more

Came for the Holiday POP-Up Christmas Bar. So happy we did the general admission and not spend $50 plus on this as it was literally dead with 4 tables and they said this was the busiest it had been. They had about 12 drink options that were Christmas drinks and you could not order off the regular drink menu. The waitress told us that 4 of the drinks were not good so I tried the margarita and it was terrible. I couldn't order another drink because it was so bad. read more

Placed an order on door dash and waited over 45 mins for my order. Only for my deliver driver to call me and tell me that what I ordered wasn't even on their menu and had to re order from somewhere else. Very frustrating. read more

Great for game day! We always stop in early to take advantage of their game day drink and food deals. Fun atmosphere before a game.

Awesome 3am bar with a great DJ and fun bartenders! Highly recommend ! Food was good too!

As season ticket holders, we go to Paddy O's after every game we attend, and I have been going here for years after games. I prefer it over Ballpark because I love the music the DJ plays, so we had planned on going here for our bachelorette/bachelor party. The last couple of times we've gone, the music has started changing to more techno. Last night, we had over 60 people show up to celebrate with us. We made requests to the DJ to play music that we wanted to dance to (typical dance music they've played in the past). We were told maybe later. I asked him if he could play another dance song. He told me he would not be playing any popular dance music because he was creating a vibe. His vibe consisted of NO one on the dance floor. Considering we made up over half the attendance at the bar, he could have at least played some of our requests. Super disappointed! We will be looking for a new place to dance after Cardinal games. If you're looking for a techno club, then you would enjoy it, but not our "vibe!" read more

Used to love this place until now. My friend was thrown out due to missing the trash can when throwing his can away after it bounced off the rim of the trash can and it was only our first drink of the night. The security staff is on an ultimate power trip and obviously looking for trouble, they immediately throw him out the door and gang up on him, they start arguing and getting physical with him for missing a trash can. It's really sad to see this place go downhill the way it is over dumb stuff like this and none of the people who I was with plan on coming back anytime soon. read more

One of my favorite places to go downtown. I have the best time here; the music is great, and the atmosphere is just fun and inviting to everyone. Nice indoor outdoor and upstairs downstairs bar and so close to other fun bars and places. Come here any weekend and you'll have fun! read more

Terrible service, I am 21 and got denied from here. Unreal how bad the service is. Only care about themselves. Try and make you "happier" with their shitty service, however the service somehow got worse. Terrible bar. The person manning the door was "vaping" at the door. Disgusting behavior from an establishment. Gross place. read more

Paddy O's is the perfect place to go after a Cards game. You can get drinks at numerous bars and watch people dance (or dance yourself) to anything from the latest pop tune to the electric slide. The party that is the Cards game simply continues on here - though I do want to note the mood is always more upbeat if we actually won that night. Don't miss this place - and there's cheap food as well to knock down with the reasonably priced drinks. read more

Bud Light 12 oz cans were out dated by a month on can. Which meant it was made 6 months prior to the freshness date on bottom of can. Had off terrible taste and bar tender could care less. For $5 a 12oz can of beer you would think they would fave a crap but nope. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Very rowdy and not safe for anyone. My daughter's purse for stolen and the police outside instead of helping pushed them to leave

Bartenders are awesome and attentive to customers and the food is great! The country band they had there was excellent too

Atmosphere is nice. All workers were very nice. However mixed drinks are horrible! If you're not drinking beer or the shot advertised, you're in trouble. read more

I have been her 3 times so far, my first time was about a week ago before the Cardinalsgame. It was super packed and through all of that, the staff was happy, upbeat, very hospitable and attentive. Our order came out in a timely fashion and the food is reasonable and soooooooo DELICIOUS!!!!! RIBS ARE THE NUMBER ONE FOR ME, SO MEATY AND TENDER!!! I've been back two more times since then just for the ribs. We also had corn, fries, chips& queso, dry rub wings, hotdog, tacos (didn't like the tacos) bratwurst, cheeseburger and coleslaw were VERY GOOD!!! I'm so in love with this place that I don't want to eat anywhere else. This is my go to place everytime I come downtown. The staff is always phenomenal every visit and the food is always excellent. I truly appreciate this place, it's a true home run. read more
