Paddy's - Charlotte

I want to start by saying the service and accommodation for us was wonderful. We were coming from out of town and the highway was closed and we had to detour and were an hour and a half !! late for our reservation. I was frazzled and apologetic and despite all that they found us a table! So thankful! The ambiance was awesome. Very cool laid back decor- with touches for Halloween which I loved. I got the bangers and mash and my friend got fish and chips. I didn't love mine, but I think it was my palate not the way the food was prepared. My friend loved hers. We went to a concert after we ate and came back for drinks after! It was crowded but the bar staff did a great job keeping up. I would come back here again when visiting Charlotte and recommend!

Looking for somewhere to eat in Uptown during the day-check out Ri Ra! Great atmosphere for casual pub dining which is a nice change from the fast food and fancy restaurants Uptown. Long bar with stools and a decent amount of high top tables and booths in the space downstairs. Every worker was nice, but wasn't spectacular service, seeming they were short staffed at the time. I would recommend sitting at the bar if you want quicker service. I came here with family on the Friday after Christmas for lunch. We split a pub burger and the Rachel sandwich. We also got a side caesar salad and mushroom soup. The burger was classic and the sandwich was not everyone's style, but I liked the veggies on top and enjoyed the buttery bread! The real winner was the onion rings! The mushroom soup was a broth base soup and was a little bitter, but nice and warm on the cold day.

We absolutely loved our dining experience here! My dad loves Irish Pubs and my parents met at an Irish Pub so I came to visit them and wanted to treat them to dinner and found this place! I made a reservation and when we walked in, we were seated quickly! Our waiter was so friendly and attentive! He was really working hard as well. My dad got his favorite Guinness to drink and my mom and I got the cider sangria cocktail and it was amazing! We ordered the chicken bites with the Guinness barbecue sauce and they were tasty! For entrees we ordered the steakhouse paddy melt, pub reuben and a salad with falafel nuggies and they were all so delicious!!! The inside definitely has Irish pubs vibes and the bathrooms are clean! I cannot wait to bring my parents back here!

No reason to not give 5 stars. Got right in on a Friday night, although it was busy. Live music- artist was amazing but too loud and that did make our experience less enjoyable. Once she went on break it was perfect volume with the background music. Service and food were top notch!

I went on a Tuesday night and it was packed! It was really loud, and really popular apparently. It had a cool ambiance to it. Seating were all high tops in the area I sat. The food was okay, and not anything special. The portion sizes seemed pretty big. The staff though were wonderful! Our waiter was so friendly, and such a hard worker! Also, others working were very, very friendly! Love the employees, love the location, didn't love the noise level or the food though!
