Paddy Wagon Irish Pub Richmond Kentucky is the place to have fun.
Third time is charm for the owners, Greg Ferrell and Chuck Fields.
Established in 2004 on Water Street...then Paddy Wagon Irish Pub moved to Main Street in 2006 for a year a few doors up from the new location still in Richmond KY.
Then suddenly it burned to the ground in the middle of the night.
The famous fire is still one of Richmond KY's unexplained mysteries.
Fire investigators scratched their heads in puzzlement as to the cause.
"Hmmmm...It could be this...or could be that." Who really knows what caused Paddy Wagon Irish Pub to burn to the ground. Or do fires burn up? Whatever the case... it has remained a mystery in Richmond KY.
All that was saved that fateful night from the pub was an Irish clock, 1 sign and a few police patches.
Both Greg and Chuck teach criminal justice at EKU so the patches were a collection of police patches that patrons donated when they visited Paddy Wagon.
I've been in bars that have unique collections of $1 bills(Tortilla Flat, AZ), neckties(Carefree, AZ) and bras(Key West).
The idea for the Irish pub came from a trip to Ireland when they toured the Guinness Factory, Dublin and to the north...Belfast. Armed with information and local souvenirs Chuck came up with the décor for the inside of Paddy Wagon Irish Pub.
The name of the pub has to do with criminal justice. Maybe Irish justice?
Now open since June 26, 2008 with a plethora of beer and ale for anyone's tastes or mood. The food is great...I had a generous helping of the fish and chips and the service was spot on.
There is a friendly atmosphere inside Paddy Wagon Irish Pub and plenty of room to park outside. Sip your beer on an outdoor deck and enjoy a Richmond KY downtown view.
Live band entertainment is on Friday and Saturday. Thursdays will be added when school starts. Monday is open mike.
Hours are 11 - 1PM Monday - Friday. Saturdays 12 - 1PM.

Paddy Wagon Irish Pub Richmond KY
Woohoo! Bars in Richmond. Bringing back memories of my EKU days.
That is a place I would love to go my next trip to "my old Kentucky Home".
Fun...love Irish pubs.
Lizette - when they opened on Waters that was one of my favorite watering holes in the area. Been to Tortilla Flats, Key West. There used to be a place on the highway south of anchorage with the bras and business cards.
Lizette- The Paddy Wagon Irish Pub looks beautiful both inside and out. It really looks like a great place to not only eat and drink, but to hang out and socialize as well.
Eric - Yes, I fondly remember those days. It was the place to be!
Missy - Let me know when you are headed this way. We need girl time!LOL
Mike - I haven't made it that far north. I guess the Paddy Wagon Irish Pub will have to do for now.
Michelle - You are right! Good place to hear a band every now and then. Richmond KY needs a few more places like this.
