Fritzpatrick's Irish Pub in Essen

Great food Nice people We'd love to come back again

Super nice Irishman, everything is just right, delicious food, very attentive and nice staff

Delicious lunch in a stylish ambience at a film price. Great. I always enjoy coming here.

Just as it should be, but too loud for me

More of a place for young people. Nice service and nice ambience.

Cool & nice! Very tasty! Thanks

Classic Irish Pub. They serve Guinness!!! I can arrest that the burger, ribs, and fish&chips are great. Service was excellent.

You can go there for very good freshly tapped Guinness and also good pizzas

Unfortunately it has deteriorated greatly over the years. Today we were there again for the Bundesliga conference after a long time. Arrived at 2:50 p.m. and ordered 2 beers straight away. At 3:30 p.m. there was still no beer, but guests who arrived after us were now being served. After requesting, we had to wait another 10 minutes. The highlight was that we watched the Bundesliga conference, the pub was almost empty and we watched without sound. When we asked about the sound, they said that we had to watch without sound because it was on another TV Rugby is on. Music was then turned on. Sorry, I've never experienced anything like that there. Then we had to leave our seats 10 minutes before the end of the game because someone suddenly reserved our table, which wasn't even signposted beforehand like at other tables. This can also scare away customers. And €5.80 for a 0.5 liter beer is also cheeky, because there are other prices on the homepage.

Great, but you just have to make a reservation 😅

The Guinness is delicious. The steak salad wasn't that good. Salad good, steak cold, dry and tough.

Very nice Irish pub. Great atmosphere outside in summer too.

The Irish Pub and the Hudson Bar both belong to "Fiddlers Gaststätten GmbH", but unfortunately this is not shown correctly on Google because they are right next to each other. I was there on Wednesday, June 14th, 2023 for the “Beer Pong” evening and it was wonderful. I got to meet some awesome wrestlers, Matt TnT, Yuval Goldshmit and Boom, absolutely great people. Here I was able to play my first real game of “Beer Pong” with you and even though Boom and I lost, it was just nice. Afterwards I realized that we have a mutual friend and could have known each other a long time ago. Well, every now and then, it's just the first times that matter in life, but I also like the second times, when you realize that something is different than you thought.

The food was amazing! We had the Shepard's Pie and the Fish 'n Chips and both were extremely tasty. The ambience was authentic and the service was friendly.

It was our first time here and we were lucky to get a table for four on Saturday evening. The service was attentive and friendly. The drinks were at the table very quickly. The food was really good. Due to the size of the place and the large number of mostly young people, it was also loud. And because of all the smokers, a door kept opening and there was an icy draft. Still, I'll come back for the burger.

Very crowded, very loud and hustle and bustle - just as it should be! You can sing karaoke in the back area 😁

A safe bank. Nothing extraordinary, but just an Irish pub as you would expect.

There is always a lot going on and a loud atmosphere here. It is usually too loud for small groups that want to chat. Large groups will get their money's worth, but should reserve in advance.

Karaoke night was amazing, had a lot of fun

Back in 2004, when I was around 16 years old, I was partying here with friends and it's still a great time today

Friendly, quaint, partyy, fun, but also relatively big and pretty crowded during rush hour

It's a really great pub, the people, the food, the Kilkenny 😍 I'd love to come here.

Top food, delicious service, very attentive!!

Friday and Saturday karaoke is great, there is also decent beer, so you don't have to drink Guinness. Sometimes full, but the atmosphere is even better because Muke is also stable

Too bad the first Irish pub we visit where they don't speak English! Suddenly a lot of tables were cleared to make room for the karaoke, so if you sat there you could stand up for the rest of the evening. It became very busy and you could barely move. Getting to the bar to get a drink was impossible. Clean toilets and very tasty food!!

Supposedly open until 1 a.m. I was there at 10:30 p.m. and didn't get anything anymore... a shame!

Rustic, well done pub atmosphere, although the pub is much larger than a typical pub. Delicious food, especially the shepherd’s pie.

Price/performance ratio is right. It's a little dark, but otherwise ok

It reminds me of the times when I was on the island. The ambience and the food are really good. Definitely again.

Great decor and ambience. Various Irish Bears as well as Stauder and Krombacher. Pub feel

A bit “cool” reception. I think the last lap at 10 p.m. is way too early. Opening times in Google are not correct. It's a shame that regular guests continue to be served.

Great restaurant, nicely themed. Delicious food. Nice staff. We'd love to come back.

Really large pub, comfortably furnished in the main room, the stout is of course tasty, friendly service and a great lunch menu. We'd love to come back. 👍

I went to a meeting with colleagues at Fitzpatrick's Irish Pub. The ambience and the food are good

We came from Italy for Essen Motor show. Nice place, friendly staff, excellent food and drinks. We had a lovely evening

I ordered a piña colada but it was very sour. I asked to add some sweet syrup but that made it worse. I ended up swapping it for another cocktail with passion fruit, and that was also extremely sour. But the bartender made an effort.

I make my business meetings in always here.

Better food than expected The store is a hotspot for Socializing.

Excellent value for money. The food is nice and the staff are very helpful.

Great ambience, delicious food and great draft Guinness. Attentive staff. Highly recommended

A very nice and large Irish pub! All the waitresses are also very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful music is played here. It's a nice place for a pint of beer or Guinness. They also have a great menu. If I didn't live so far away, I would definitely be here often. But I'll definitely come by once or twice. UPDATE: Was there again. I ate a Sri Lankan curry with lamb. This was incredibly delicious, really! Absolutely recommended!

Hasn't changed. Thumbs up! Great team. The salads are delicious.

Fritzpatrick’s Irish Pub in Essen is a lively spot that captures the essence of a classic Irish bar. It’s a great place to relax with a perfectly poured Guinness beer after a long day.

Whether you’re there for the drinks, the food, or the lively ambiance, Fritzpatrick’s offers a memorable experience in the heart of Essen!

It's more than a pub. Great music, good atmosphere

Very good service. Drinks a bit expensive

It was quite cold because the door was always open. There were spring onions in my drink. It was exchanged immediately without any problems. The audience was predominantly young, but also mixed. Music was excellent.

It wasn't really Irish. The name and the beer, yes, but the music and the atmosphere was more of a good pub but not an Irish pub!

Shitty service, the staff was totally not customer friendly. Tonight I entered the place, as I have done many times in the past, looking forward to watching a good football game on the screens. I asked an employee where I could watch the Premier League game but the short and clear answer was “Not today!”. To tell the truth, I was flabbergasted. Not more than 20 customers were present at the time and with the amount of screens available it was absolutely possible to dedicate only one screen to the PL game. In the past I have enjoyed many nice visits to this place but apparently a decent amount of customer service these days is hard to come by.

Good value for money. Lots of seats, but still full at 7 p.m. Friday evening (karaoke from 10 p.m.)

Very relaxed evening to drink a few beers. Nice team, big store. Good music, great events :)

If you really want to watch football, I hate fans. The broadcast was soundless, you could concentrate on the game and the service staff were really nice. Definitely recommend it!

Super friendly and fast service. It's always worth having a beer, especially outside when the sun is shining.

We went for drink and karaoke. It was packed!! But atmosphere was super nice, very party like. Also the bar is somewhat separated into sections so if you're not that into karaoke or whatever else goes on at the bar there are many other places you can sit to just enjoy your meal or your pint. I would definitely go again if I live close by. 😄😄

We only stopped there shortly before a concert because it is close to the Grugahalle. Therefore only drinks that were served quickly. We were able to sit outside, but inside the tables were quite narrow, so there was a lot of noise. What was served at neighboring tables looked very appetizing. For that reason and because of the good selection of draft beers, we will be happy to come back.

I'm inclined to call it a typical Irish pub. Quite large, very rustic (as usual) but overall very nice there

Delicious beer, good food and a cozy, relaxed atmosphere.

Absolutely not recommended. Arrogant staff and after each additional beer it became more expensive as if the staff were just guessing at the prices.

A really nice port in the storm (it was raining cats and dogs last time I was there). Friendly staff, nice music and great beer.

Quaint pub. Great ambience. The currywurst was a bit sweet, but not bad. The Irish dishes are great!

Good beer and karaoke nights 🍺 🎤

I actually really like this store... on Friday evening I was talking to a friend I hadn't seen for long when suddenly three people aggressively attacked me. The store is closed, which I had no way of knowing. Instead of saying: "We're closing now, please go out," I was threatened with: "There's the door in front, get out!" When I said "no" because I didn't know the people, I was only answered more aggressively. I didn't do anything and just stood in the room and talked. I hope something like this doesn't happen in the future because I like coming here. The “employee” was about 1.75 tall and was wearing a cap and had a red beard.

Unusual for me. But great food. Nice staff. Will come back. 👍

I come here once or twice a year after events at the convention center for around ten years now. Food got worse over the time: Small portions, dry meat, weirdly siced portions: My wife had the soup of the day and the stew and both were the same size, but the stew was double the price and still... bland. If you come here for drinks and hanging around with friends: Great place, it's your typical irish pub!

Great Irish Pub, professionally run by owners & staff. It’s a credit to u all. We were recently here on an Irish Pub owners meet up.

Real pub atmosphere, in terms of beer, food and audience. We opted for the 'Irish corner' in terms of food and the stew and fish & chips were delicious.

Great place overall for sure, loved the food, the people we networked with, the drinks, etc!

Central and well located Nice service Everything as it should

Very rustic, delicious beer and a perfect schnitzel. Plus live sport, a wonderful evening.

Best Irish pub in the Ruhr area

Super nice service... the decor is exactly what you would expect from an Irish pub... but the prices are pretty steep

Very, very tasty, properly tapped Guinness beer in a nice atmosphere in the middle of Essen. Very large and yet cozy pub, we will come back!!!!!!

Great service, nice crowd. Karaoke is just fantastic. Such a great atmosphere, regardless of whether you can/like singing or not.

Actually a great shop. BUT: (we were there on Saturday for karaoke night) The waitresses were very unfriendly. We complied with the request to clear the area. But putting the chairs at another table that is left standing and free for the karaoke night... No go! Reason: None. Sorry, I don't understand - but it's your loss of earnings. In addition: We would have liked to sing something - in our case even Irish songs. But this was blatantly rudely dismissed by the gentleman on the PC, who was blessed with little hair - with the words "Ham'wa don't, run away." Not the nice way, but okay. Apparently only long-overconsumed pop songs from the 80s or current songs are desired. I would have liked more openness. In any case, we had a nice evening drinking - that's what the place is good for. But that was it. Listening to karaoke: Pretty cool Karaoke itself: Well...

Very fun, good atmosphere, but expensive

Great Irish atmosphere, delicious food and centrally located on the Rü.

Very cozy restaurant, which also has an outdoor terrace that invites you to enjoy a delicious beer in summer.

There was a very tasty soup of the day, the staff was friendly and the sun was shining from the sky and thus raised the ambience. Only the coffee still has room for improvement!

Good cuisine! Staff often taciturn and grumpy, especially when the boss is present. I'd avoid karaoke evenings, as you'll only get disgustingly hit on by tons of guys.

The Irish Pub gives you a chance to look into Ireland if you go inside.As it is summer so we sat outside and enjoyed the drinks and food.The service is pretty fast.Within 15 minutes of placing the order we got our drinks and dishes.Great place to hang out with friends

Very tasty food and the location to linger.

It is a good English speaking bar and pub in Essen, Germany. It's always rush and lot of people enjoy over there in the nights....

Nice place to eat after shopping on the Rü or a busy evening!

Actually good! The food was actually delicious. I ordered fish 'n chips and was totally happy with it. The staff was very nice and quick. The beer was poured nicely.

One of the best restaurants in Rüttenscheid for lunch.

We sat outside for a beer and dinner for two. We felt very comfortable. There is a lot of staff who are also extremely friendly. The service stands out very positively from what you get today.

Authentic, always well stocked, delicious Kilkenny fresh from the barrel. Also good for sitting outside.

As always, beer tastes good in an Irish pub, but the prices don't taste good...

Very good food, cozy location A friend of ours had become very unwell and the staff immediately came to our aid and called an ambulance. Really great!

Great pub. Very attentive staff, super fast service and damn tasty food. And all of this in a very rustic, very comfortably furnished place. We really enjoyed it here. Karaoke also takes place on Fridays from 10 p.m. However, that was the point at which we left, because here the mood changed because the music felt louder than in any disco and the speakers were audibly suffering from overload. We would have been happy to avoid this unpleasant experience. Highly recommended apart from karaoke, but unfortunately I can't recommend karaoke because the volume is way too loud.

Awesome. Pure Irish feeling. Very good selection of food that still tastes good and of course Guinness on tap. Just the thing after a visit to the Gruga.

It was lovely to pop in here, grab a currywurst and an unfiltered beer. It was my second time here actually, and I would definitely come back again!

Always happy to go there.. It's right on the Rue.. Service is nice although some people speak to you in English, which I ignore.. The food is good.

Irish pub in a beautiful location. Great for people watching. Service was quick and the Stauder was delicious.

It's good but not for those on a tight budget.

Nice weather, outdoor dining full, well organized service.

Proper Irish pub! Inside and outside. Would go there again without a question. Fair prices and an amazing Guinness

Food is ok, always suitable for a beer and watching football

Nice place to have a drink. Good, fast service. The food was good, but unfortunately not to my taste. I will definitely come here again the next time I am in Essen.

The fries are so great, it's rare to get such great fries. The salad with the chicken tandoori was super tasty. I'll happily go there again.

Great pub with delicious beers. The food is an absolute insider tip in terms of price and taste. I haven't eaten something this delicious in a long time!
