About

Patrick Foley’s Irish Pub & Restaurant invites you to taste the best of Irish comfort food with a Belgian twist right in the heart of Ghent. From the moment you step into the spacious, open‑plan bar area, the lively atmosphere sets the tone for a relaxed evening or a lively night out. The menu showcases hearty Irish classics—such as rib‑eye steak, fish & chips, and a signature Irish steak—alongside a generous selection of burgers, pies, and vegetarian/vegan options. Beyond its food, the pub’s true charm lies in its entertainment lineup. Every Monday from September to April, a pub quiz kicks off at 8 pm, while stand‑up comedy nights and themed celebrations for St. Patrick’s Day, New Year’s Eve and other occasions keep patrons coming back. Friendly staff, a wide range of Irish and Belgian whiskeys, and a cozy terrace create a welcoming home for locals and tourists alike. With several seating options including an Oscar Wilde Room that can accommodate up to 50 guests, Paddy’s is perfect for family dinners, celebration parties, corporate events, or simply catching a football or rugby match on the large HD screens. Wheelchair‑accessible facilities and an extensive seating capacity make it an inclusive destination for every visitor. Whether you’re after a casual pint, a full Irish feast, or a memorable party setting, Paddy’s invites you to experience a slice of Ireland in the heart of Belgium, complete with great food, lively music, and a community feel that guarantees a memorable visit.
