Paddy Murphy's

Paddy Murphy's Irish Pub is one of my favorite spots in Bangor. It's a small, cozy pub along the downtown strip. Inside you'll find a beautiful wooden bar, lovely wooden booths with comfortable benches, and a staff full of friendly, welcoming people. The Irish music and great beer always put me in good spirits. The food is really great too. I highly recommend the fried pickles. The veggie burger is top-notch and the french fries are perfectly crispy and deliciously seasoned. Whatever you end up ordering, be sure to try one of the local beers they have on tap!

One of the most disappointing restaurant experiences that I've had. A friend had recommended Paddy's. When we arrived it wasn't too busy. The host had shown us to the table. Didn't give us a menu like several of the other customers were given. Several other customers had shown up, got menus and we're getting drinks. We finally got waited on, were able to order drinks and get a menu. A moment later we got our drinks and she said she would come back to get our order taken. About 10 minutes later we were able to place the order. However it took about 40 minutes to get our order for 1 cheeseburger with fries, 2 small orders of fried pickles and 1 order of chicken tenders to arrive. Others who arrived after us had gotten their food and were leaving before us. When we asked the host if he could check or ask the server he said it wasn't his job. They had ordered about the same amount of food. The quality was about the same as some of the sport pubs, but they served much quicker and we're friendly. So to sum it up, food was good, service was lousy.
