Patterson's Pub

We came to this restaurant for dinner. Upon arrival, we requested a table for two. The host stepped away for a moment, and when she returned, she attempted to seat us at the bar. However, we politely requested a regular table instead. As we were about to leave, she made an effort to find a proper table for us. We ordered the clam chowder, spaghetti, and fish and chips. Clam chowders 3/5 A lot of potato and carrot. Spaghetti with shrimp 1/5 Spaghetti with out texture and shrimp only 5 pcs . For extra charge 10$ for 5 shrimps. Fish and chips 2/5 I’m order fish cod fish still raw some water come out from fish. Both cocktails very goods. This place good for drink not for food.

Loved everything about this pub! The service was great, the food was excellent (including the berry cobbler alamode for dessert - not pictured, sorry!) and the atmosphere was cozy. Our server, Ryan, was attentive and friendly and they had ample heating outside with blankets to use. The garlic cheese bread, Hollywood Salad and Beef Burger were delicious. We may go there again before we leave the area!

This is a cute pub, I ordered the smash burger, and he had the black cod tacos... both were specials.....we were both happy with our choices. He ordered a beer and said it was delightful.

Great bar. We got the pear salad which was fresh and delicious. Every food item coming out looked fire. Excellent tequila selection and whiskey even though we didn’t partake in that. Small town vibes. Very cozy.

The haddock fish and chips are prepared to perfection: thin and crunchy. No fork required, hold 'em in your hand and eat 'em like a cookie.

I was in town just for a quick lunch, and Patterson's Pub has always hit the sweet spot for me, and today was no exception. I dropped off the surplus grenade launchers over at the Marina to Tuna Joe so he could improve the catch ratio when he goes after the Albacore, what a great idea! But ...not as great as the salmon sandwich I had at Patterson's Pub, it was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

A little pricey but decent wholesome food. Good option for takeout when you're in town. Quick and friendly service.

Food was great. The patio was dog friendly and had heaters.

Literally the BEST clam chowder EVER!! The hostess Denise made us feel so welcome and our server Julie was amazing! Coming back tomorrow for some berry cobbler. Great atmosphere! So cozy!! Everything is HOMEMADE by the way...

One of my favorite Irish pubs I've been too and I also have been to Ireland! Located right on the Main Street in Mendocino. Staff is freaken awesome, we had Julie as the server and bartender and she is 10/10 awesome. Great vibes in there, great staff and GREAT food! I was actually recommended to come here from a friend that also had the same experience. If you are in the area then come Here!

Awesome place and it was our first time as we were here for the long weekend visiting from the Bay Area !! This place had amazing food and most of all best staff - Alexis who was our server and Lea too, were extremely courteous, polite and welcoming!! We felt so much at home as they know what's customer service all about for sure. U guys ROCK !! Love it Thanks

The service was amazing--all of the waitresses we interacted with were friendly and checked in on us constantly. I got the wrap which was something I was eyeballing since I looked at their website. It had so many textures which made every bite a new experience. Not at all dry because of the dressing (I chose ranch but there's a variety to choose from) and avocado. My friend got the burger. They did have to add some sauces to avoid it being super dry. I tried a bite and it had this smokiness that made it very pleasant. I agree that the extra mustard and ketchup we put on it was needed. Fries were solid. Nothing to note there!

Quaint pub that is 21 or older only. We were sat immediately even though the dining and bar were full. Our server brought the speedboats to us. Quite an extensive menu so it took a bit of time to order. I had a smash burger w/ tots along with a cup of clam chowder, and my wife had a burger also. We didn't want to eat too heavy because we were going to graze through town. Full bar, tasty drinks!

Food was wonderful. Good beer selection. Took off stars because we were over charged on our bill and that's a big deal to me.

You just can't have a bad meal here. There is something for everyone. And their hot sandwiches are a terrific value. We split some yummy onion rings and had a French dip and taco salad for dinner. Both were yummy. Service was friendly and the patio seating was plentiful and dog friendly.

Food was actually really good for bar food, we ordered the cheese fries, clam chowder + fish and chips. All were stellar. 10/10

Loved the food, amazing beer selection, staff was friendly and welcoming. We had the specials: Chicken Pot Pie (phenomenal) and the steak empanadas!! Clam Chowder was definitely another favorite.

This place was recommended to us by the guy that checked us in at our hotel. He recommended the fish and chips. We went there for lunch and we were completely disappointed. The fish from the fish and chips seemed to be from a box. I ordered the warm spinach salad ($18) with chicken (extra $10) and the chicken seemed to be from a frozen bag from Costco. The salad was ok but certainly not worth $28. My husband is from Ireland and he said the place didn't look like a real Irish pub to him. Would not recommend

Good food and good service. Broad menu. Very accommodating to special requests. Good vibe.

A solid 3.5 only because my lobster sandwich special tasted a bit strange - it definitely had some imitation crab in there that wasn't advertised. Other than that the house salad was delicious and my friends enjoyed their orders. This included the cod, mussels/clams and pear salad & crispy truffle fries. I enjoyed my Irish mule and Belgium beer. They also have a drink menu that includes cocktails and a bunch of beers you can get by the pint or half pint. Service is excellent and the outdoor space is relaxing.

Was in the area visiting either friends and decided to come here based on reviews and hotel recommendations. We had onions rings, chicken tenders, clam chowder and cod fish and chips. All were delicious. Service was good. We sat in the covered patio. Clam chowder was flavorful and not watery. Had good chunks of clams. Onion rings were well battered and crispy. Did not fall apart on first bite! Fish was also nicely battered and had a nice crunch not heavily battered. Was delicious. Would have to ding this place for the 3.5% surcharge for credit card use. We decided to pay in cash and waitress came back to tell us we short changed her! After we explained that we took off the 3.5 credit charge surcharge, she said "oh my register wouldn't take this off" but she agreed that it was correct! Our waitress was very nice and pleasant. Note for future diners: there's a 3.5% surcharge for credit card use and a 20% tip added for parties of 5 or more.

Delicious pub food. During my last visit, we ordered fried pickles, coconut shrimp, haddock fish and chips, and clams and mussels in white wine sauce. It was all delicious. I don't usually order coconut shrimp, but I had a terrible version at another restaurant and wanted to get that out of my mind. These were just as good as the best ones I've had in Hawaii. The haddock fish and chips were delicious - there was a choice between cod or haddock and I wanted to change it up. And the special clams and mussels were swimming in a delicious broth that we dipped everything in. I've been here several times and somehow always surprised how good it is.

Definitely recommend! Service is exceptionally friendly! 21 and over only. We were greeted at the door with a very friendly hostess. Bar seating was all that was available to be seated immediately. We do not drink alcohol, but were happy to be seated at the bar. It's not a rowdy bar or too loud. Julie, our waitress, provided exceptional service! She got us hooked up with some delicious mocktails. Clam chowder is the BEST chowder you will find anywhere on the coast. We also ordered the quesadilla and coconut fried shrimp. A very large menu! 5/5 stars!

Checked this place out earlier in the day. I think it is the first property that I've been to that ever posted a Yelp review on a chalk board in front to attract people (haha see photo).. really wanted an early non-seafood dinner and this little Irish pub fit the bill. Burger was great. Ryan provided great service and the drinks were great. There is nothing super fancy in Mendocino. It is a super casual environment and locals were really friendly.

The best food we had on our little babymoon/wedding anniversary staycation. We ordered the clam chowder, fish and chips, meatloaf (not pictured cause hubby went straight to eating it), and the berry cobbler (I haven't been eating dessert for the last 7 months due to gestational diabetes but I risked it all for this because everything just tasted so good).

Great food,service and atmosphere! Fantastic outdoor patio area that is dog friendly. Reuben sandwich and sweet potato fries to die for! So good! Lots of brews to choose from! Definitely a go to in Mendocino for food and a beer! We have been there twice and this visit was as good or better than several years ago! Place has not lost its charm and friendly service! We will be back every time we visit Mendocino!

delicious food and very cute pub. Great environment and service. The staff is very attentive

I had the Fish & Chips and a cup of Clam Chowder. Best I've ever had. Food was hot. Fish was fresh. Service was fast and friendly. 5 Stars. I'll be back.

Quaint local pub with great service, food, and prices. Group of four took us :10 minutes to be seated while we chatted with the friendly host. Everyone ordered something different, and every dish was delicious. Salads were fresh, clam chowder was delicious, and two specials were spot on.The waiter was attentive and friendly.the only drawback was they were so busy we had to ask for the check, but to me the experience was a total win. Would highly recommend.

Was super busy on a weekday evening, definitely a locals place. Got the fish and chips & the fish was freshly fried and crispy albeit a bit oily but the fries were a bit soggy and didn't have any seasoning on them (had to salt them a decent amount). My boyfriend got the Philly cheesesteak and he did not really enjoy it as it was small and was lacking filling. Our waitress was nice enough, just seemed a bit busy. Classic dive bar interior, very warm vibes

Fun place for lunch and their $22 burger was just what I wanted. All American burger was just perfect and nothing fancy but they used good meat, bun and veggies. Liked their skinny truffle oil fries too.

Love Love Love this place! Staff... amazing. Great vibe - outdoor seating is cute with gnomes keeping is company.... And the Food - Oh My Goodness!! The chicken Pot Pie - to die for .... I could have easily eaten 3 Also shared the ribs plate with the group.... Fall off the bone meat candy! Probably my 2nd favorite

I would give it 3.5 stars. We were here in February which was crab season. The crab won ton appetizers we got were amazing. The crab was fresh and not over powered by the other ingredients. The king salmon that my sister got was very good as well. I had the taco salad which I am not sure I would get again. Overall the service was great, our server was very friendly and everything came out quickly. They had a big beer selection as well. It was a bit pricey for what we got, but would return and get the crab if I were to be in the area again

I would rate this a 2.5 We went there because of recommendations yet it was a disappointment. Once we got seated, it took 30 mins to speak to a server and then took an another hour to get food. The drink selection was good and food was ok, but disappointing on wait time and quality of food for price.

We had a lovely afternoon at Patterson's. The vibe here was super local, the service was friendly and the selection of food and beer did not disappoint. We were visiting town and dropped in on a Tuesday afternoon. Our bartender Monica was wonderful and the other patrons seated at the bar all seemed to know her and each other. Great banter, stories and recommendations from the regulars. Delicious and fresh food from the kitchen. Cold and refreshing local draft beers from our bartender. We loved the community atmosphere and we will definitely be coming back.

Really enjoyed my visit to Patterson's Pub. On a weekend trip to Mendocino, we came here on a Saturday night and could tell right away how popular it was. Place was packed, but it was recommended by a friend so we were determined to eat here. Sat at the bar and enjoyed one of their specials which was 2 crab cakes over a Caesar salad. So good!!! My partner ordered the steak salad and loved that as well. Staff was incredibly friendly and made the experience that much better. This seems to be an iconic local spot and I'm thankful we were able to bask in all its glory. Great vibes all around. Give it a shot next time you're in town - you won't regret it!

We selected Patterson's from reviews and we were thrilled. It's a bit away from the ocean but the ambience and food made it well worth it. My wife and I shared the clam chowder and fish and chips. Both were great. The chowder had lots of clams and a great flavor. The fish and chips were super crispy and moist inside. Perfect. Their house breading and tartar sauce were fantastic. I would go back in a second. We ate outside because the weather was perfect but inside is the perfect pub atmosphere. Great place.

Great bar, drinks and people. Food was decent but not excellent. Fun place to hang out for a drink or three.

This is a nice, intimate spot. All the tables are small for a nice conversation and a good meal. There are also spots at the bar to hang and watch a game. My hamburger was well seasoned and very tasty. It was also big with a hefty serving of fries that I couldn't finish it all in one meal.

every meal my husband has chosen he has raved about. selection of beer is great, tho he sticks with guiness. always lots of customers and fabulous specials

We stopped by wanting to dine in the garden for dinner on a rainy Friday night because we had our dog with us, but was told that the garden was closed. We ended up opting for takeouts which was extremely fast and easy. There is a menu displayed outside so you can take a look at the food offered. The inside is like any classic pub. We got the Angus beef burger with garlic fries, patty melt with cold slaws and clam chowder. Since it was takeout, they wrapped the tomato, lettuce and onion in wax paper on the side which I think is really nice so the burger will not get soggy. The clam chowder was really nice for a rainy night, too! I think the food was pretty good and a solid choice if you're looking for some beer and burger.

In Mendocino if you don't have reservations be prepared to wait awhile. Luckily at this pub, the wait wasn't too bad and we were seated in the back patio. Good pub food and friendly service with fire pits. Can't go wrong here.

The food was to die for! I had a lobster melt and potato salad that was delicious! My partner had the Tri-Tip sandwich and Cajun fries and he really enjoyed it. The place was quaint and cozy! Our bartender had a great sense of humor and was a delight! Great service! I hope to come back and visit again!

Good hours. We dropped in on Thursday night after getting in, got the fried pickle, Cajun fries and black and bleu salad with thousand island sauce on the side. The Cajun fries were under seasoned but the sauce was good. Fried pickle was OK. Black and bleu salad was solid. Also got their root beer and a beer. Both are good. For dessert got the berry cobbler, cute presentation but it was mostly jam, disappointing. Service was quick. Looks like a lot of locals come here.

We kept going back to Pattersons because the food was sooooo good. And, the beer was always ice cold. Everyone was so friendly. We enjoyed every part of every meal.

Best clam chowder ever. Great service and great selections of beer. Was not impressed with their cheesesteak sandwich, but will try something else.

Regrettably, our recent experience at Patterson's was very frustrating. My mother and I stopped by on a cool, somewhat rainy autumn day for a mid-afternoon meal. Since we were between lunch and dinner, we hoped we might be able to be seated fairly quickly. Unfortunately, it was a 30 minute outdoor wait. On their building, there was a sign indicating that they only serve customers 21 and over. No problem; I'm in my mid-thirties. However, once we were inside at our table, ready to place our order, the seating hostess let me know that she would need to see my ID. I explained that I wouldn't be drinking. She insisted again that she would need to see it, at which point we also mentioned that my mother would not be drinking. The hostess then told us that ID is necessary simply to sit in the restaurant. (!) I was somewhat dumbfounded by this. I've certainly never been required to produce identification merely to eat a meal. At that point, I let her know that, unfortunately, my ID was an hour away in our hotel. She didn't seem to understand this, as she kept repeating saying that I would need to get it from the car, that either a driver's license or a passport would work, etc. Finally, the hostess informed us that we were going to have to vacate the table. We asked about the possibility of sitting outdoors on their patio, away from the bar area, but seating on the patio also required ID. I was quite irritated and disappointed, but we went ahead and placed a to-go order, which we waited for, once again, for 25 minutes outdoors. My mother and I decided to drive down to the waterfront so that we could at least enjoy the meal with a pretty view from our car. Once we arrived and opened up the bag, though, we discovered that they had not included silverware, condiments, etc. This was the last straw for me. While the food itself was fine, it was certainly not worth the hassle. I wish our experience had been better. My recommendation to Patterson's would be to make it extremely clear that all customers will be required to provide identification, regardless of whether or not they will be drinking. I don't think their current policy is at all intuitive, and it would have saved us a lot of time and frustration had we been aware.

A nice pub with good food and friendly service. They have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as live music some evenings. I had a chicken wrap with fries, it was good and fries were fresh, warm and crispy.

Since we travel and stay in Ft Bragg twice a year we always try to have lunch at Pattersons pub in Mendocino. Monica has been taking care of us for years and the food and beverage is stellar. However, since our most recent visit was the day after the national election and where we live in placer county we are mostly red if you feel me. Seems Mendocino isn't simpatico with the new president elect. More than a few patrons glared at my hat choice with one particular old maid burning a hole in my back as I was leaving the bar. Best advice, know your audience before rocking a Trump/Vance MAGA hat in Kamala territory.

Oh my gosh!! I love this place! Great beer line up and amazing food. The waitress was classic pub waitress super nice! I believe we shared a Reuben with some type of Cajun skinny fries, both excellent! Definitely swing by this pub if you are on the 1 through Mendocino.

Surprisingly nice option in Mendocino. Lively vibe with friendly, good service. Got the clam chowder (good) and fish & chips (very good).

Fun, and highly recommended place we stopped in for some late dinner after traveling all day, had the delicious fish and chips, calamari and clam chowder. Service was prompt and friendly, was a cool place with a cool vibe.

A fun and cozy environment of a Pub, with very friendly staff. I've been here twice now, and it's become a staple for everytime I visit the Mendocino area. The food is always solid, got a smoked pork sandwich in ciabatta this time. Previously I had gotten the fish and chips, but this sandwich was definitely better than the fish and chips. The staff is very friendly, this time I had the pleasure of having Liz take our order and help me out. She's a gem and was super friendly and kind to me. Thanks for your friendly and welcoming service Liz. If you're in the area, definitely come by to check here out!

Great food and a fun environment. Outside patio was fun and warm even on a cold windy day.

Good spot! Nice atmosphere. We really liked the little outdoor area. Our party of four each got a different item from the menu and everything was delicious and came out incredibly fast. Large selection of beers on tap. This is our new lunch spot in mendo. Looking forward to trying more from the menu.

We sat outside on a sunny Saturday under the tent with our dog, they were serving brunch until 2 and also had lunch available. I got the biscuits and gravy which was hearty and flavorful. Service was friendly and accommodating. Would recommend!

Great friendly staff, delicious food, great service and a well-behaved pup friendly outdoor patio tented with umbrellas and heat lamps. Ordered the crab wontons which were tasty and crispy- (think crab Rangoon Trader Vic's) , Angus hamburger -they have about five different types of fries from skinny to steak, truffle to Cajun to sweet potato and tater tots! All good and highly recommend!
