Paddo Inn

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!

Simply asked to use a charger because my phone had run out of power in the middle of the day for 30seconds so I could get into my car. Don’t have phone chargers behind the bar however I could rent one for $8.5 an hour. Which I can’t because phone is also my wallet. Good luck see you later. Total joke. Lucky I live around the corner. I’m sick of these overly commercialised pubs that just bring drivel into our suburbs and then refuse to be a decent member of the community. Avoid this corporate drags on society.

Aggressive security, poorly managed by the manager. Really poor response overall. Sexist actions by security guard who approached my husband to tell me that I had to leave without having a conversation with me. Reason given was “being too loud”. Apparently that’s a sign of intoxication at 7pm on a Friday night in a loud pub. Would LOVE to see the footage of me enjoying myself too loudly. Some friends we made at the bar left in solidarity and we went onto another 3 venues with no issues. Update: As I am unable to respond to your response- I urge you to review the footage of this time, from this you will be able to see 1. A non intoxicated person having a great time in a 150 decibel pub that was turning into a dancefloor 2. A security guard deciding to find my husband who was separated from me, to tell him, to tell me that I need to leave. Not a single conversation with myself which would have avoided this whole unpleasant experience for everyone 3. Appropriately expressed frustration, articulating myself in response to the bizarre experience. I don’t know what else this behaviour could have been other than sexism. As someone who has an RSA myself, I’m pretty sure this isn’t the way to manage such an interaction. Would welcome a conversation from you if you would like to chat further, it really put a dampener on the night.

Paddo inn, The burger was very, very good. You can really tell the meat is high quality, well cooked and full of flavor. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to take a photo of the burger itself, but it was definitely worth it. The fries were also great — you can tell they’re made with good ingredients and well prepared, not overly greasy. The place is highly recommended. It has a nice atmosphere, and on Sundays there is live music, which adds a great vibe to the experience. The staff was attentive and friendly. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained, which shows there is good management behind the place. The venue looks a bit old or vintage, but that’s part of its character and charm

The security sent my friend home. Very fair but took her away and said we can all keep drinking so she can find her own way home. As someone who also works in security this is never how I’d treat someone who is intox. To send a young girl home in the city by herself with no witness to know of her surroundings is awful and out of touch. Like I said, very fair to kick someone out for intox. But in training you make sure this person has a safe way home. Lack of care is very obvious here
