Easily found, lots of parking, big open patio and entrance. Humble interior design really with a separate function room adjacent to the main room. A couple of very long booths, tables and chairs. A medium sized bar with high chairs. Serving delicious pizzas and there is usually a food truck. The beers are very good to excellent. The service is outstanding and the place is well lit and clean. They sometimes have live music and have wearables for sale. Padraigs is a high quality and mellow place to enjoy some lovely craft beer.

Twice I have been to this brewery and both times I have left unimpressed with the beers. Both times at the brewery, it was absolutely packed to the point of unavailable seating which is perfectly fine and encouraging to me. Service was nothing special. The brewery seems to brew mostly IPAs. If I am not mistaken, I tried all of their flagships between the two visits and found all their beers to be overly bitter and lacking flavor. Inside is quite nice and they seem to have tons of events, but there are plenty of places like this in the Twin Cities with better beer

It's a decent location with a shuffleboard table, bar seating, stand-up tables, and table seating, but the beer is inconsistent and the prices high. $11 for a 4-beer sampler is ridiculous.

i think its weird and lame that the locals dont give any love to these guys. they make good enough beer and have some real gems in the lineup, plus, the place is mellow and comfortable, nonjudgmental, and very relaxed. not the largest selection, but enough diversity that the menu resonated with me. the lager was solid, the farmhouse was too, and pretty much everything we tried was relevant. service was sort of interesting, slower, but friendly, not beery but endearing, and there is still a place for that in my book. cruisy long bar, a set back little street area thats mellow and cool, and seriously better beer than people talk about. i could have hunkered down here for awhile if we werent moving, i think its unfair that they dont get more love. cool pint cans too, the package looks good and the beer in them is fresh and sound. maybe not the most inventive and memorable beer in the world, but these guys fill an important niche in the twin cities beer scene and i feel blessed to have had the privilege of getting drunk here...

Going to be as nice as I can for this. The place is great. One of the nice looking and best set up tap rooms in MN. After that it goes downhill. Have yet to find a beer that I would go back for from this brewery.
Good location to other breweries and nice place to hang out with friends but sub par on beer selection and taste.

Its a real nice setting and when the weather is decent its nice to sit outside. It can get loud inside and their beer is not my favorite but it is a friendly place.

Cool old brick building with two bars, games, friendly service and really good beer. A couple of the beers were unavailable, but that's how it goes at small brewery taprooms. Wish we had more time to spend here!
