The Paddy Wagon is a wonderful pub in Richmond, Kentucky. They throw the biggest St. Patrick's Day celebration in the area. It was definitely a sight to see! Wonderful smells came from inside and out as they had to expand into the parking lot to accommodate everyone! As fate would have it, St. Patty's Day fell on the same day as a UK basketball game and thus the big screen tv's were all tuned in so everyone could catch the game while celebrating the wearin of the green (or blue this year). They even had one out in the parking lot! Way to be there for your customers!
Going to The Paddy Wagon is an amazing experience. If you look up on the walls you will see patches for firefighters and police stations from all over the country. I actually get choked up as I gaze up at these. To see them all together on one wall is a sight to behold. You must really experience it for yourself.
On a much quieter day I returned to sample something on the menu. I decided to try the pub basket. Now for those who don't know what that is (don't be embarrassed I didn't know either), it is steak fries, also known as pub fries, seasoned with kosher salt and coarse black pepper. Now you have the option of adding toppings to these tasty potatoes. I selected the chili, cheese, and onions. Don't worry no one had to deal with my onion breath besides me! They were some of the best fries I have had in a long time. They were cooked to such a tenderness that they would fall apart when I stuck my fork through them. The chili topping was the beanless variety and yes the onions were definitely onion like, crisp and delicious!
I completely recommend you go and visit this amazing Richmond treasure. Sit at the bar and share a story or two and possibly catch a game on the big screen.
