Our Take on St. Patrick's Irish Pub
Gran Via del Marques del Turia runs wide and plane shaded through the smartest stretch of Valencia, and at number 69 a green front opens into more pub than the street lets on. St. Patrick's spreads across five rooms and two bars, with a big terrace out front and a pool table and dartboard at the back. The local magazine 24/7 Valencia calls it a true Irish pub that knows the craic.
The sports programming carries the place. Five big plasma screens run football, rugby, cricket, golf, and basketball at once, which makes it the rare Valencia room where a Premier League fan and a La Liga fan watch side by side. Travelling Jezebel ranks it among the sports bars worth crossing the city for.
It earns the word complete. The kitchen runs fish and chips, meat pies, pizzas, and quiche, the staff switch between Spanish and English, and the crowd mixes Spaniards, visitors, and expats in roughly equal measure per 24/7 Valencia.
Reading the Room
Five rooms means five different nights. The front bar takes the noise on match days, the terrace takes the long Valencia evenings, and the back rooms hold the pool table, the darts, and the quieter conversations.
The fit out stays honest to the genre: dark wood, low light, and enough screens that no seat loses the game. Pop and rock from every decade fills the gaps between matches.
The Menu, Edited
Who Shows Up, and When
Afternoons start slow with terrace coffee drinkers and homesick expats reading the sports pages. The rooms fill as kickoff approaches, and a big Champions League night packs all five.
Weekends run from noon to 3am, so the pub moves from family lunch crowd to late pint crowd in one long arc. The mix of Spaniards, visitors, and expats holds all night.
