The Lost Paddy Irish Pub and Restaurant

We visited The Lost Paddy Irish Pub and Restaurant recently and had a great experience! Our food was delicious and completely exceeded our expectations. The fish and chips are amazing! We visited during lunchtime on a Wednesday. It was busy but not overly crowded. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend The Lost Paddy Irish Pub and Restaurant!

I was in town for conference and stumbled upon this place. With in a couple Minutes Heather the Bartender was quick to make me feel like a regular. She really made the experience. The food was pretty good. The live music was great. Heather was what brought me back the couple days there. A friendly face. Thanks for your service you are amazing.

We had a family lunch for a birthday. The bar has a sports theme. Heavily soccer related. They show all Nashville Soccer Club games. We saw SEC basketball on large TV. There was horse racing on the TVs at the bar. Other sports showing on other screens throughout the restaurant. Eight people in our group. Seated with no wait. Wait staff were accommodating, patient, and interacted well with everyone, including children in our group. Food portions are large! Everyone enjoyed their choice. Pictures of Shepherd's Pie and Fish and Chips attached. We will go back.

Comin' from New Orleans, my standards for what makes a place special are sky-high. We live and breathe good food, good music, and places with real character. A bar has to have a soul, you know? It can't just be four walls and some taps. So when I walked into The Lost Paddy Irish Pub, I had my critic's hat on tight. (Typically hate dining while traveling) And let me tell you, they didn't just meet my expectations; they blew them clean out of the water. First off, the vibe. This isn't some shiny, corporate "Irish-themed" restaurant. This is a proper pub. It's got that worn-in, comfortable feeling of a true locals' dive bar, the kind you'd find tucked away in the Marigny or Bywater where everybody knows your name by your second visit. It's dark, it's cozy, and it feels like it's been soaked in stories and good times for a hundred years. It felt like home. Now, the food. I ordered the Bangers and Mash, a dish that can be tragically bland if not done right. What was placed in front of me was a work of art. The bangers themselves were magnificent—perfectly grilled with a glorious snap and slight char, bursting with a savory, herbaceous flavor that was complex and deeply satisfying. The mash potatoes were the real deal—perfectly buttery and just lumpy enough to let you know they came from a real potatoes, not a box. The soul of the plate was that rich, dark onion gravy. And piled right on top of it all was a generous handful of crispy, crunchy onion strings, adding the perfect textural contrast to every soulful bite. You can't have a great pub without a great bartender, and the lady working the bar (Heather) was nothing short of phenomenal. She was a maestro. She was pouring perfect pint after pint of Guinness with the patience of a saint for one person, cracking a jokes, and keeping pleasent convo with everyone all without missing a beat. She was making everyone feel welcome while running the bar with effortless style. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the live music started. No cheesy cover band here. It was a couple of musicians playing some genuinely fantastic, foot-stomping music that filled the entire space with energy. It was the final, perfect ingredient. The Lost Paddy Irish Pub is the real deal. It’s a trifecta of incredible food, a warm and genuine atmosphere, and top-notch service and entertainment. I came in a skeptic, and I left a loyal fan!

This Irish pub is such a hidden gem. It’s authentic to pubs in Ireland and they have Smithwicks on tap. The food portions were large. The food is fresh and delicious and the service was welcoming and friendly. We had lunch and will definitely go back. Next time I want to try dinner with the live music.

I had the Smokehouse Burger and it was fantastic. The flavors and cook of the patty were spot on. The server was nice and attentive. It's very cool pub with lots of character. I will be back the next time I'm in town.

Great atmosphere! Awesome traditional Irish fare and great selection of beers on tap and whiskeys. You can't beat a traditional imperial pint. And this is the place to have one. Live music almost every night as well.

My husband and I have been to The Lost Paddy over a dozen times. It is our go to spot after I pick him up from the airport. We have never had a bad meal! I would recommend to anyone. 💚
