Paddy's Shenanigans Irish Bar Reviews
What a great night at Paddy’s! Such good craic! Really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place and the musos kept us well entertained with fantastic tunes.
Bar staff were friendly and super skilled at pouring me a Guinness or two or three😝 I’ll be back next time I’m in Airlie!

Very nice bar with good seating and nice dancefloor with an authentic Irish feel only thing I could ask for more than that would be some stronger bass speakers, that's my only criticism otherwise 5*s

This was the third place I visited and was complemented about my hair style by the bouncer. (A big man) then when I've come back they let me in and when I went for a smoke I was not allowed back in. They are rude and miss leading. I highly recommend you skip this bar
Despite the rest of the staff being gracious. The bouncer does not care and ruined me and my friends one night in Airlie Beach. I am a perfectly behaved person I did nothing wrong and watched him not let in and let in different people. I bought a drink and went for a smoke and was refused entry even though I had already paid for my drink cause I wanted a smoke. This place is an absolute joke of an establishment and needs to hire a new security company they are over powered and unreasonable.

The guards won't allow you to get in if you don't show a passport/driving license. So if you don't drive, they expect you to be dumb enough to carry your physical passport everywhere. Coz apparently their security is stricter than airport security with regards to digital passport copy.

Security was blankly staring as if on some substance. Asked if he (bald middle aged guy) needs us to check in gave a hard long stare and yelled a deep yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. Entered and found the place to be smelling musty. Live music was placed exactly on the wrong side of the venue but sounded nice.

Paddy’s is the place to be, way more authentic than other pubs trying to be flashy on the strip. The DJ kills it with a broad genre to suit all & creates an absolute vibe on the dance floor. Those discount drink cards you can get by arriving earlier make the dent in your bank account from a good night out so much more worth it. Bar Manager Rogan knows whats up when it comes to what makes a good party joint atmosphere.

Not great. I only went in to watch the Premier League football. One screen stuck away in the corner for sports, fair enough. The place is a proper 'sticky floor' place. Full of barely legal kids. Toilets are a bit of a mess. The beer options seemed ok but it was flat when it was poured.

Music and security were amazing, the toilets were covered in vomit and the bar staff were ridiculous.
4 bartenders with horrible attitudes and worst customer service, even worse when you call them out on the fact you’ve been waiting and been ignored for 20 minutes. Finally get served and had run out of corona, in the 5 seconds we were deciding what to get she goes off to serve someone else.

Let's be honest, it's badly in need of a face lift but then again it only opens at night and it's full of back packers/ hoilday makers so there prob really isn't worth there while spending the money, still was a good nte. Drink deals where good, again I'd go back..

I was there on Thursday night, a dude grabbed my head and tried to force me to kiss him. Happened in front of two female bartenders who did nothing and just looked away after I broke free. Disturbing.. don't trust the staff here to keep you safe.

I was here in 2000/2001. Had the best parties ever! What a great time we had! And we often wanted to hear the same song; Black Legend - You see the trouble with me. :D Stayed at ReefO's. My god...what a time. As if it was in another life. Thank you so much for having us.

I’ve been to my fair share of Irish bars across the world and Paddy’s Shenanigans is up there as the best of the best! Top bar in airlie beach for a boogie! Always have an awesome time here, and guaranteed wicked live music. Bar staff are incredible, bouncers are super friendly and always take great care of us. Good vibes!

How can you call yourselves an Irish pub?
I shall be requesting that health and safety inspection team visit your establishment.
You do a disservice to traditional Irish pubs the world over.
Disgraceful.

Great party atmosphere and fun place to go, however security were unfair, rude and heavy handed. My partner was smoking in the queue, she was told to stop and she did. Security then refused to let her re-enter. I came out and questioned his decision, and was completely polite the whole time. We then found ourselves unable to enter any club as they radioed our description saying do not enter. I’m a school teacher in my 30s on holiday, not a drunken teenager causing trouble. I will be spending my money elsewhere. Very disappointed.

Great live music venue. Ole mate that owns it hasnt spent a dime on the joint in 20 years . Lucky Airlie pumps the jam people wise. Could certainly do with a face lift- a bit like me.

Great bar, like a pub should be, full of cold alcoholic drinks and people having fun. Good prices and atmosphere for St Patrick's Day

Bouncer was very rude, Monday 29th April, told me to eff off after me asking nicely if my friend was aloud in, she had been crying over her friends death anniversary and he was being unnecessarily rude, I’d understand if she was actually very drunk but she was just upset, she couldn’t get in and she was alone on the street and he didn’t care!!!

A very good place to continue your night after your dinner or your first round
As this opened up pretty late, maybe 9+ or 10 so you can start your night somewhere else and continue there
I got a card when I entered which I could get a discount for my drink (not sure do I have to show it every time or they just charge the same price to everyone)
But drinks are pretty cheap and there was live music inside and the vibe was good
Overall a good place to enjoy
I had a pretty good time

Absolutely awful experience! We had 2 drinks in a previous bar and then went to shenanigans for a couple more drinks before going home. The bouncer on the door was rude and horrible! He said we were intoxicated which we were most definitely not! He just wanted an excuse to not let us in I’m sure! He was rude and did not let us in when the whole rest of the family were inside! Do not recommend
