This place is everything you'd hope for in a downtown Gaslamp bar: welcoming, lively, and just downright fun. What truly sets it apart though? The people. Massive shoutout to LEXI, the bartender whose energy and warmth transformed our evening, and EUGENE, part of the staff team who made sure everything ran smoothly. Their enthusiasm and genuine hospitality are the reasons I'll keep coming back. I literally went Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday because I wanted to see Lexi and Eugene. Bonus points for their perfect Guinness draft pours (yes, the kind that hits the spot every time) and the surprisingly delicious house-made peanut butter shots, a quirky but unforgettable treat. Can't wait to return!!

Damn so this is what its like for a city to have a night life. We stubbled upon this pub when trying to get into one of the "poppin'" ones with the hella long ass lines. Gaslamp when we went for a bach party was CRACKIN'. Hella people and it was just a random weekend. We saw this Irish pub and was just the best of times. The interior is pretty narrow and at the back there is a stage for a live band. Not sure what the schedule or regular music is but the blues was just PERFECT. Prices weren't too bad and the bartender was quick with it considering a packed night. Would definitely come back here if I was local. It was also a nice break for the bar hopping because it was chill yet packed compared to the other pricey fancy looking spots.

He's there at least once a month.

Odd that nobody was in the pub the Sunday night we came in for a few drinks except a bartender, his trainee, and a security guard who had just washed away some vomit off the sidewalk. The cozy place was nice and dark (thanks to a dimmer switch according to the training we witnessed), the main light coming from the TV playing Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Plus, they had a ukulelist playing modern hits with live looping just like the authentic pubs of Ireland.

Live music here!

Visiting from AZ. Had a wonderful club soda with a lime. Very friendly bartender Nice atmosphere wonderful music is playing. No food here.No worries happy hour 3-6 pm. Come and enjoy an adult beverage or soft drink .

I stumbled into Patrick's after hearing reggae music from outside. It happened to be happy hour, and the drinks were great with a nice vibe. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service from Armando. I'll definitely be back because of him.

Perfect pour

Came here twice during our week long stay in SD. We always love a good Irish bar and this was no exception. My bf loves that we can reliably find Miller Lite, I love the selection of Irish whiskies though I usually opt for Red Breast. Also, who can resist a good pint o' Guinness! The bartenders were what made this place. Angela is loud and sassy and so funny and friendly. We had a great time talking to her and she was full of life! Jo was so sweet and great. When I decided to try a High Noon for the first time and she could see I was meh about it, she brought me some fruit to add to it to make it more delicious. She poured a delightfully strong old fashioned and gave us some great dinner recommendations. Irish bars are the best bars, and we loved Patrick's! Cheers!

Two pints pls!

Small spot with a fun vibe! Drinks are average priced. Seating was tight but worth it for a pop in visit. Service was quick and easy!

Good vibes and service. Prices are a bit ridiculous. $12.50 for a pint of Guinness and $18 Irish car bombs.

Ask the Community - Patrick's Gaslamp Pub

Are they a Buffalo Bills Bar?

Yes we are.

Do they let minors in?

Call and ask, as it has been a while since we've stopped in. But my recollection is NO as they are not a bar restaurant.

Their site has nothing to show as being open, yet here it says they are open. Are they or not?

They just reopened!!!

Are they open?

No sorry, I wish they were!

Does anyone know if Patrick's is ever going to reopen?

Yes they are open again!!

Are they open? Went by there today and it a Was all boarded up.

Unfortunately, they are not open. I walk by every couple of weeks and there are no signs of life... yet

So came down to San Diego to celebrate my brother birthday and we decided to take a whiskey class…read morewith our ladies. So we found that Prohibition offers a whiskey class where you can make drinks yourself. Met the owner Ryan who is the owner of Prohibition Whiskey and he told us the story about how he started the business and we connected because he was from Oakland. From that moment it was on and poppin. The vibes of the class was great and conversations along with the drinks were flowing. We ended the night by making an espresso martini made with whiskey and it was amazing. Plus it was dope that I got to make the drink myself. Can't wait to come back to San Diego to patron this establishment

A sponsor had rented out the whole place and all drinks were comped with food being passed around. We had cuban sandwiches and empanadas, which I think were all from the Havana restaurant upstairs. Food was great! Drinks were good, but the menu was so confusing to me. I didn't really like how they categorized them. Sometimes I feel like just being straightforward is better. Too cute with trying to do the prohibition/speakeasy menu. It did take a while to get drinks when it was packed. Understandable. But I had a few that were good, the boats and hoes, and keffir lime tequila drink were great. I would say that the bathroom had a bit of a stink to it...not sure what it was but smelled just like coming up from the pipes. May just be a basement issue. Overall, good experience. It didn't feel super special but just like any other speakeasy. I like False Idol better in terms of overall vibe.

The Most Fun Girls' Trip Ever!…read more My mom has been trying to get me to go to The Shout! House for years, always telling me how it was one of the most fun nights she'd ever had. She went with a dear friend of hers who has since passed away from cancer, and they had one of those unforgettable nights filled with singing, laughing, and enjoying the music together. After hearing about it for so long, I knew we had to make it happen! For Mother's Day this past year, we decided to take a girls' trip to San Diego with my mom, my 26-year-old daughter, and me. We met up in San Diego and ended up spending TWO nights in a row at The Shout! House, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! It was every bit as fun as my mom remembered, and I loved every second of it. We requested songs, sang along, laughed until we couldn't anymore, and literally opened and closed the place! The talent these performers have is phenomenal. They are all incredibly talented, entertaining, and so good at what they do. The energy and vibe in there are amazing. It's upbeat, fun, and the kind of place where you can't help but have a good time. The servers were also great, making sure we had our drinks and food whenever we needed them. One of the funniest moments was when the guy in my last picture called my mom up on stage for one of her song requests and ended up serenading her and singing about her! It was absolutely hilarious, and we were all laughing so hard. It was one of those unexpected moments that made the whole night even more special, and I will never forget it! I have to say, this was one of the funniest and most memorable times I've ever had with my mom and daughter. Getting to share something that meant so much to my mom and create our own memories together made it even more special. If you're visiting San Diego and looking for something fun and different to do, GO HERE! Whether you love music, singing, or just having a great night out, you won't regret it. We will absolutely be back!

This was my first time at the venue but had a really great time. The waitress (and clearly bartender) was on top of their stuff and we got drinks super quickly. The pianists (if you can call them that since they also played guitar and drums) were super fun and lively. They had a ton of fun props to make singing and celebrating such fun. There were 3 musicians that rotated throughout the evening while I was there and all were great.

It was soo raw ( don't get me wrong I know how ceviche is made) but it didn't even sit in the lemon/lime juice -- color wasn't even pink ... not okay!!! Someone is definitely going to get sick.. and when we told the waitress all she said was " i know - I don't like it because it's so RAW" The drinks we ordered came on a display that was so dirty and dusty! I don't know I feel like someone just bought this location and tried to have a party with no other thoughts--nothing seemed professional ( no front desk staff, we had to walk up flights of stairs randomly, floors dirty-- just a mess) I don't recommend this place at all ( so sorry) maybe they need better management Don't just take my word for it--- please read the other reviews!!!
