Review of Paddy O'Shea's

Im local. I went to this bar since 2010 world cup. Before that, I noticed the bar in that area for quite longtime but we never wanted to have a visit. In 2010 summer we thought to change our hunting places, we are sports fan btw, so we went to this bar, and found out it's a pretty laid back place with good location and smily waiters and waitress. Foods are bad of course, except beers, not much other drink choices also. Still for their easy atmosphere, we come back to the bar once in a while.

This summer, what happened to their old waiters and waitress? we only found one guy familiar in the bar, all others are replaced by SOME UGLY, ANGRY AND SLOW girls from countryside of China we guessed. They have no idea for the service at all I think. Also, we felt their bar is under no administration or what, things are weird in there. Maybe this is why now they attract many ppl I thought I never should see in Beijing?

I will give up this bar for sure if they still use those "unbelievable" waitress and waiters. They really made my good nights in Beijing bars are uneasy.

I think 1 Star for Paddy's is a little harsh.

I don't feel it there either. The only reason I ever go there is to avoid sanlitun. I'm not so tempted to bar hop into the wee hours if I'm in an isolated location.

With the smoking ban in effect and the outdoor tables often filled up, I rather not drink there anymore either though. Being a few cocktails into and not allowed to light up makes me feel antsy and bushufuable.

But let's be fair. The drinks are good at least, great beer selection and no fake liquor, and the live music is cool. Service can be tough when they're full up, but that's understandable.

Galaxies don't move Sciency. They're in a fixed position.

"Im local. I went to this bar since 2010."

Wow, such long, storied experience!

"SOME UGLY, ANGRY AND SLOW girls from countryside of China we guessed. They have no idea for the service at all I think."

If I had to deal with entitled pricks like this, I'd make mean ugly faces and give them slow service too.

I have to say that I am not a fan of Paddy's in any way at all and roll my eyes whenever someone suggests going there, but the problems with this review seem to weigh heavily with the reviewer rather than the establishment.

I haven't been going there regularly for a few years, but I agree with above that this description of the waitresses seems off.
When your first complaint is that they're "ugly" you're not exactly standing out as a paragon of society yourself.

(To be honest you sound like a jealous schoolgirl or something)

I was there a couple of times in the last few months and the service was great.
I've also always been satisfied with the food there.

The rest of your review was meandering and it kinda sounds like you were drunk.
The waitresses really made your nights in Beijing uneasy?
Wtf are you on about?
