Fritzpatrick's Irish Pub in Essen

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Good beer and karaoke nights 🍺 🎤

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.

Very tasty food and the location to linger.

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

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.

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

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!

Drinks are fine there. Food is ok too. Friendly staff

The food arrived very quickly and was tasty, although the chicken in the salad was a bit too dry for me.

Simply one of the best pubs in Rüttenscheid!

My favorite pub in Essen! Great Irish-style atmosphere and friendly service. The drinks, Guinness beer and wine are very tasty. The fan zone was great and the music events were also of a high standard. The only comment concerns the level of doneness of the meat (burgers and wings too dry), but otherwise great. I recommend it 👌

We didn't eat anything. We found drinks overpriced. 7.50 euros for a mini Aperol, or a little Lillet in a large glass. Staff super friendly. The shop is actually very nice, you just stick everywhere, especially at the back in the karaoke area. Toilets clean and modern, there is also a cleaner there.

Atmospheric establishment, excellent live music, Euro 2024 center in terms of attendance 😁👌 TOP organization👌 everything I tried from food there was very tasty, the drinks were delicious. The only negative is that due to the large number of people, the waiters and cooks cannot cope. When there are few people, everything is fine 👍

We went here by chance. It was great service, food and atmosphere. If we come to Essen again, we will come here to eat...

I was there last Sunday for the first time in about 10 years. Back then, I worked there every day for two months and renovated the restaurant premises. (We had redesigned the bathroom walls and ceiling structure throughout the restaurant.) I was able to get to know the boss, who gave us workers a hearty employee discount on our daily meals. Back then I often ate the Tuscan Burger, which was very tasty. When I visited with a friend on Sunday, I happily told the bartender this as we went in. They didn't seem to be particularly interested, or rather dismissed it as a joke. He definitely didn't take us seriously. He also only spoke broken German and was dismissive and unfriendly. After we sat down in front of the counter inside and after 10 minutes (!) we still didn't get a menu card, we drew attention to ourselves. A burly, bald-headed waiter then came up to us and said he had to reprimand me with an energetic “relax man!” He seemed to feel like he was being bossed around by us because we wanted to order something. We were then allowed to order our food but had to pay immediately (!) in advance, even though we were sitting in the visible area of ​​the counter. Unfortunately, the former Tuscan Burger no longer exists. Unfortunately the boss wasn't in the house either. The food with the cheeseburger and cowboy burger was below average and far too overpriced for the poor quality. Probably due to the prime location in the hyped Rü district. Unfortunately a bad experience.

Came here to watch the football, very busy place and with a good outdoor seating area, a little van/stall outside also selling drinks and a large area for seainnfron4 of a big screen to watch the euros. Had a nice chicken steak with chips and mushroom sauce too at a reasonable price A random great evening and bar

Food is okay, but the menu is rather limited. So if you eat there regularly, you'll get through it quickly. Service is very nice. Unfortunately, it's annoying that you're stuck to the floor as soon as you open it... There are enough toilets, but they're not handicapped accessible and they're extremely low.

Friendly service, fresh beer, good food. ;)🙂

Prices, for example for a below-average burger, are far too high. The cheeseburger for almost 14 euros and 2! Piece of Garlic Bread on a plate for over 6 euros. That's 12 DM for 2 pieces of bread. Hello?

Nice pub, delicious food and good drinks BUT Saturday evening after a public viewing of the European Championships... completely overcrowded, more and more people came in, no stopping. A huge pub but only 4 women's toilets and 6 men's toilets? The result? Unacceptable conditions in the toilets. The women stood in two rows because they used the two men's cubicles. The three snakes (2 women and one gentleman) had stood all the way up the stairs... The madness. It's no fun to go out for a drink when things are like this... Given the size of the pub, it clearly needs at least twice as many toilets, which is really unreasonable...

I enjoyed watching some Euro matches on their amazing terrace! I enjoyed the Irish stew (not so much the fish and chips). And although there's not much choice in terms of beers, the basics are covered. Loads of staff!

Great Irish pub two tube stops out of Essen hbf. We visited a number of occasions while based in Essen for Euro's 24.Great atmosphere, really polite,friendly staff. Stronbow cider on draught,which was a blessing as it is all,apart from the odd cocktail my wife will drink. This pub is well worth a visit. Weldone to everyone at Fitzpatricks. 5 star people.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇪👍

I have known about this house for almost two decades. I love the atmosphere there. The nice staff, but especially the karaoke evenings there and then also the live music. The audience there is also consistently ok. So if you're in the mood for a nice Guinness and want to get your fingers greasy in the finger food basket, you can't avoid the pub. Don't forget to leave a proper tip. Because the service there really deserves it!!! Hopefully I can go there again soon ☺️

Good food and very good service.

Great pub in the middle of Essen. Friendly and fast staff.

Great atmosphere. Different types of beer. Fast service. Unfortunately it is always very crowded late at night. When you go to the toilets you have to fight your way through.

First of all: I'm pissed!!!! It was never advertised that the pub charged admission today. Not on the website, not on Facebook and not when we were there yesterday. There was nothing on the tables. We didn't want to see PotatoCountry today, we wanted to see Scotland. Instead we get there, everything is cordoned off and there is a 5 euro entrance fee. This is an outrage. Even if you didn't want to watch the games, you couldn't go into the pub to eat. Thank you for the past time, but you have now lost me and my friends, as well as colleagues. We can be kidding ourselves!

imagine wanting to see the Euros in an irish pub and they‘re streaming the Germany game and even wana charge you a fiver enttance fee even though you wouldn’t wana stay for the game (we got here at about 6:30pm just wanted to have a drink now but oh well) They didn’t demand a fee for the other games throughout the week so it’s just money making once again. We have been to that pub several times, the food‘s always been ok. Nothing special. Cologne pubs are cheaper and qualitatively better too. Today was kinda the point where we decided to not pay this location any attention anymore. Sad.

Great pub, always busy, shows sporting events

Came here during the euros, it was absolutely packed with football fans. The pub obviously were not prepared for this as the queue to get a drink was ridiculous. It is a huge bar, with two bars inside (a large part not open) and one outside in the huge beer garden. Had to wait 20 minutes in a huge queue everytime we wanted a drink. 80% were ordering pints of beer so they could of just been proactive and had someone continually pouring them ready to serve. No German efficiency at all.

I'm sorry...but if RWE hooligans simply grope women there without any consequences and then hit the respective partner, you can't leave a rating other than just one star. If the answer here is “if you had told us, we would have turned the people out of the store immediately”. That's what we have....Get well soon to those people. That was definitely my last visit there. I would rather pay 2-4 euros more and have a more pleasant clientele in return.

Simple irish pub voth genius loci. Loud as usual irish pub. Recommending baby ribs:-) i like it.

The public viewing was organized catastrophically today! Although people regularly left the area, no one was allowed in. The security was overwhelmed and rude but still felt like God...we left during the first half.

The public viewing was far too crowded today, no view of the monitors, lots of people who just came to watch and had their own drinks. No escape routes or clear paths for helpers; the “security” is a joke.

Nice PUB with good atmosphere. Service a bit unfriendly.

Quaint Irish pub with great specialties and beers 🙂👌

Cool place to watch the European Championship games. Despite the large number of guests, the food came very quickly and was very tasty. Unfortunately, some guests were unable to leave the toilet properly.

Absolutely recommended Irish pub.

Was ok...but very very crowded...

Come here often for chicken schnitzel and fish and chips. And of course Guinness. Tables could be a little cleaner, otherwise everything was great.

Such a great place , has alot of different cultures in such an amazing harmony. Karaoke was great .

Cool, atmospheric pub in a rustic style and karaoke on the weekend!

We had a lovely evening. The beer always came quickly and the food was delicious.
