Padonia Ale House

AVOID!!! Gave me and my girl friend food poisoning. This place is gross as we should have guessed by looking at how dirty the various types of glasses were hanging above the bar. Alcohol wouldn’t even kill the things growing in those glasses.
My gf had a wrap and I had a burger. We split wings. The food left us out of order very soon after eating.
One star rating is too kind.
AVOID

Mike the bartender is awesome! He stays when customers stay. There was no one at the bar. So we left. We came back an hour later and he was still here. Serving drinking and great food. He could have closed up on a slow on a Sunday night. He stayed. That makes him great at customer service. Even when Ravens aren’t playing, he is around for Sunday night football.

They have a pretty good draft selection. The bar itself is not all that different from what it used to be (Padonia Station). The drafts are $ 3 on Thursdays, and 79 cent boneless wings (that are pretty large). I went with a friend last Thursday, she ordered buffalo wings and they brought out the wrong ones.

I love this place! I wandered in for a growler and ended up staying for lunch and a pint of vanilla Porter.
The food:
I ordered a lunch special for $ 7.99 and chose the cream of crab soup with half a sandwich. The soup was fantastic and had a pile of crab on the top! The sandwich was fresh and delicious. The food arrived quickly and the bartender was awesome.
The beer:
They have 40 different drafts! It took me a few minutes to select one, but man it was a tough choice. I had a vanilla porter, which was great. I also tried the curious traveller lemon shandy. I found that it was a bit lighter and more refreshing than Leinenkugels summer shandy.
They have beer specials every day. Today they had $ 4 heavy seas drafts. Thursday they have $ 3 drafts all day and it includes almost everything on tap.
They sell most of the beers on tap in growlers. If you have never purchased one before, it’s a 64 oz glass jug that you take home to drink. They charge $ 5 for the glass jug, which you only have to pay for the first time. After that, you simply wash/​air dry the jug and bring it back for a refill! The fill price depends on the beer that you choose. I chose a porter, so it was $ 17 for the fill alone, which is not a bad deal since it works out to be 4 pints.
All in all, a great place for beer lovers!

Used to go here somewhat regularly when I lived in the area and it was still called Padonia Station.
Tonight there was a band off to one half of the bar. Even the bartender couldn’t remember their name, but they weren’t that great anyway. Or at least the singer wasn’t. She (bartender) commented that they might be friends with the owner, & maybe that’s how they got the gig.
The bartender herself was cute and funny, and proceeded to probably overshare some personal info in her anecdotal accounts of her past relationship (s). For someone so pocket-​sized she has both a lot of personality and issues. In a fun kinda way :-D.
It was already late when we got there, so we didn’t stay that long. But it was a decent end to a good night anyway. (We had just left Magooby’s & we were going to try Hightopps, but they were jam-​packed, so I voted on PAH.)

Just finished dinner, wow was the food horrible. the nachos was a ass load of cheese and very little of anything else, the was so much cheese «it counts as 1 nacho». I got a steak fajita wrap, I got the smallest wrap id ever gotten from a restaurant, it was nothing but green pepper, wasn’t even worth the $ 10. my girlfriend got onion rings with some horrible tasting dipping sauce, we used katchup. drinkds had no consistency first one was just soda I’m pretty sure, number 3 was super strong. over all date night was a bust, we won’t be back here anytime soon

This place was a mad house on a Friday night at 7:30pm. Some friends and I went there to get a quick drink before going to Magoobys joke house. There were kids running everywhere even through the bar area where they have pool tables and such. Its a popular place for families to go on a Friday night I suppose… They also had a live band playing which was fun and different. However, sitting at the bar it took us a long time to get anyone to take our drink order with an appetizer. We got the crab fries which were awesome. If I were to go back I would get a table and not go on such a busy night… people were waiting to get seated everywhere so that tells u it has to be decent.

Horrible service!
2 hour wait after drinks arrived.
Do not waste your time!
We are still at the table waiting for our entrée.
The worst…

Not going to beat around the bush– I go here all the time. But for good reason– they’re always a safe (delicious) bet! They have an EXCELLENT selection of beer (something like 40 on tap, and $ 3 drafts on Thursdays). The food is consistently good. It’s typical bar food, but it IS a bar. I typically order anything that has crab dip on it (the crab pretzel and the chesapeake wrap are definitely my favorites).
Service is excellent. We’ve sat at tables, more frequently at the bar. Seems that any trouble I’ve run into comes from the kitchen– either food takes too long or they send something out without acknowledging requests (onion rings instead of fries, for example). That said, we’ll likely be back next week ;)

The most FANTASTIC beer selection in the area. Burgers are great too. The Bartenders are very knowledgeable and friendly. If you’re a craft beer lover like I am this is definitely the honey hole you’re looking for.

I have been to Padonia Ale House several times this year because they take reservations for large parties on big game days. On each occasion we have been disappointed however by the food. Wevwent to see a world cup soccer game. We ordered food before the game started and it came after the game ended. This time we went for a playoff football game. Ordered food at start of game. Some came at half time but it was ice cold. Some came after the game. The food that did come out warm was not very good. I doubt we will ho back. This was our fourth bad experience.

I enjoy this place for the bar setup and how close it is to my house. Over 40 craft beers, mostly seasonal and always rotating leaves you with a more than decent selection. The food is food. You will never feel like you wasted your money but you will never be blown away. The burgers are normally over cooked so if you like mid rare, order rare and it’ll be perfect. Friendly bartenders as well!

Nice little place. They have live music playing on weekends. Drinks are cheap and decently made. The five dollar menu is cheap but expect five dollar quality meals. The wings were made well though. The pool tables are cheap but generally occupied. Staff is pleasant and attentive but it’s a busy place so expect to spend some time waiting for them. Overall a nice place to hangout if you want to while the night away which won’t burn a hole in your pocket. Will repeat and will recommend.

So… I just called PAH to purchase 100 wings. On the menu it does state that you’re only allowed one flavor per order. I figure if I’m spending $ 80 in one order surely they can improvise. Well, as Olaf said in Frozen when asked if he knew what heat did to snow… NOPE!!! They would not. I was told I could do two 50 wing orders but I would pay more… NOPE! I will call some where else. When it was Padonia Station, they had no problem giving me multiple flavors. It’s a shame but, I will no longer give them my business.

Good service, always great beer selection, food is decent (and the specials are really cheap! 5 dollar steak dinners and whatnot). Can get very loud and rowdy late weekend nights though. But I love this place.

The service is great! We go at least twice a week, try to go on Friday nights for happy hour for the free taco bar!
Thursdays the beer and wings specials is excellent! If your in the area and want a good meal for a good price!

I honestly can’t even give one star for the incredibly sad Sedona Flat Bread I just had. ( Unilocal won’t let you give zero stars) If this is an example of the rest of the menu, don’t bother ordering food here. Just have a beer. Beyond disappointing. Though I have to say the Bartender was very friendly.

Stumbled on this pretty much by accident while staying nearby on business in October 2013. Great little sports bar with a good variety of draft beers. Had the firecracker chicken wrap with fries, and it was spicy & delicious. Definitely recommend this spot.

Reasonable bar prices, and decent food. Attracts somewhat of an older crowd pretty much every night of the week. Thursday is the beer special night.

Eh. This place wasn’t that good. My friend and I sat at the bar and the service was terrible. It wasn’t busy, but it took a while to just get a drink and then to order an app. The crab dip wasn’t good. I’ve definitely had better. This place also smelled like stale beer.
