How you doin?

So, I have been to Padriac's all of three times. Once with a bunch of girls for trivia, and twice with a friend of mine. For two of those times I thought the place was fine. A fun little pub with upscale food and a cool clientele. My last visit totally changed my mind. A friend of mine complained that the vibe there was a little, well, testosterone filled - like a fraternity party at 2am. I poo poo'ed him and made him go back. We took seats at the bar - ordered some drinks. A man sat on the other side of my friend - heavily, loudly, grumpily. I looked at this obvious display of anger. He turned to me, looked me in the eye and asked me "whaddyou lookin' at?". Did I mention that he was a big, bald man around 40 and I'm a 5'4" girl? What the fuck? Where did that come from?

I had to go to the bathroom - so I got up and went. Unmolested, I might add. I got back and my friend said some guy came in - tossed my chair aside so he could order his drink and then walked away. The whole place was, well, angry.

The food there has been decent, the service friendly and nice. The patrons? Surly as all hell!

I'll be back if I feel like picking a fight! (or using my free pitcher that we won at trivia...)
