Simple cooking, featuring great Australian beef and local, seasonal produce.For a semi-private event looking to soak up some atmosphere, the Side Bar is an additional space linked to the Front Bar and can accommodate 30 people standing.
I went here the other night to see some very close friends who were already inside. I walked up calmly and not intoxicated whatsoever. The bouncer rudely refused me entry and gave no valid reason as to why. I talked the the manager who was also very rude and also couldn’t provide a valid reason for me not being let in. I was wearing a pink and I’m assuming they didn’t like that hat or it offended them in some way. In any case it was such a wild experience.
I have lived across the road from the Paddo for 8 months. I am a five minute walk from the venue and I find myself there way too often. The cocktails on tap taste like straight up gasoline but other than that it’s a fabulous and reliable venue. However, last night I was not let in as I did not have a secondary ID. Which is valid and as a bartender myself I would never stand there and argue with security pertaining to RSA rules. But I was told it was a “company” rule to always ask for a secondary ID, and while we simply moved on to another venue I was very confused as I have NEVER been asked for a secondary at the Paddo before. If anything, I will often be let in without an ID. Would really appreciate consistency in employee etiquette as it’s a real turn off in attending. The Paddo is normally such a reliable venue although it is just a pub so let’s cool it on “company policy”.
We enjoyed a birthday celebration at the Paddo.. great food.. a cut above regular pub food. We brought along a cake and staff were very obliging, providing us with plates, cutlery and even a knife to cut the cake.. and it was all at there initiating.. really great to see a pro active staff.. a great night and super food
We started with Tuna and Linguine for shared with three people and as a main course we had steak with side dishes (steamed vegetables with chips) every menu was so delicious and enough to shared with three of us. Staffs are friendly too!
The Paddo Inn is a fun, dog friendly pub with great food, a chilled atmosphere and some really great staff. There is nothing better than sitting in the front bar on a cool but sunny spring Sunday and enjoying some food and wine. Paddington is a strange place - but they do the bars well... and this is one of the best ones on the strip! Love it!
