J Patrick's Irish Pub

I've been frequenting J. Patrick's on and off now for 14 years and if it wasn't for the distance (I live in Virginia now) I would be there every weekend. There is always something going on - from live music Friday - Sunday nights, to Irish sessions during the week, to a monthly Ceilidh (Irish dance) every second Sunday of the month. The pub fare is good, the beer is even better, and the bartenders, Joe (the owner) and Jim (his long time sidekick) are the best. It's probably one of the quaintest most down to Earth pubs you will find - it's actually situated in a row of townhomes and you won't find that in any new development! So if you are looking for excellent music and service in a very "Cheers" like setting, you won't be disappointed. Pros: Best Irish music in town and real Irish Cider on draft more

Very nice family owned bar with a good selection of drinks and daily specials. Irish bar with a huge party on Saint Pattys Day. Pros: very large bar for the area Cons: no parking more

My hubby and I used to frequent J. Patrick's some years ago. We live here in Sussex County, Delaware and still have not found a really good Irish Pub; J. Patrick's isn't fancy, isn't pretentious; it is a good ol' neighborhood pub with a little extra thrown in.....the Irish!!! Mr. Byrne should think about opening up a place over here; there is no real competition for a genuine Irish Pub and then my hubby and I would have a place to down a few Killians and Guinness! We miss J. Patrick's and the music and the people! Love to you all! Pros: Reasonable prices, Good service, Great music Cons: Cold ladies room, agh more

I loved J.Patrick's. The music is always terrific and the Guiness is just as good. Don't go for fine cuisine, go for atmosphere. Doesn't take credit cards, so bring cash. Pros: drink is great, music is fantastic, authentic Cons: food isn't great more
