    The pop up bar was decorated perfectly! Lots of time and effort went into planning this and it showed! As a big fan of always sunny I was very impressed! Our bartender Gina provided excellent service and she was hilarious!

    When I walked in, I smacked my head on the doorway because if you’re taller than 5’4” you have to duck. This definitely seems like a building code violation. The decor was fun if you’re an Always Sunny fan. We stood around for almost 10 minutes not sure what to do and the bartender finally came over and checked our IDs and seated us. We had no idea how to order so we eventually just went up to the bar to get drinks. The drinks were just okay. The pretzels were pretty stale so I wouldn’t recommend spending money on the food. Overall it wasn’t great and the only positive part was the Always Sunny decor.

    The only thing that was like Paddy's Pub was that there was no one in the bar. We had a drink called the leprechaun and it so bad that we did not finish it. We only spent about 30 minutes there because it was so lame. I would not waste your time or money going.

    We went to "The Gang Opens a Bar", the Always Sunny in Philadelphia pop-up at Deep Roots. After walking through what smelled like natural gas, we stood there for 5 minutes while 3 people stood behind the bar. We were finally told we could sit anywhere. No menues were offered or any further instructions. We sat and borrowed a menu from the table next to us. The other half of our party arrived. The music was too loud to have a normal conversation. We were yelling, the table next to us was yelling. We figured out that we had to go to the bar to order. The food and drinks were good and fun. The decor was pretty funny. The "live entertainment" was a girl singing karaoke...loudly. Overall, not worth the 35 minute drive for us. We usually really enjoy these pop-ups. We thought maybe they were going for an immersive "Always Sunny" experience by ignoring the customers. Hopefully, Drinks and Recreation will be better.

    My partner and I had a wonderful experience at the always sunny themed bar. We love this show and we think the decorations were on point! Our drink were phenomenal and we loved the singing that happened throughout the night as well!!

    Super fun! They really captured the Paddy's envirnment. Deep throwbacks to various popluar episodes all over the place. Trivia was a bit more difficult than expected which was very cool. Hilarious drink and food namez referencing the show. WELL DONE GUYS. WELL DONE

    Went on a Sunday night to the Paddy's Pub pop up. It wasn't very busy given the day of the week, but we enjoyed that. Drinks were good, and they had food available though we didn't order any as we didn't think it would be offered and made other plans. Definitely worth while if you are a fan of the show.

    We loved the paddy’s pub pop up bar! We love it’s always sunny in Philadelphia and this bar did it justice. It had quirky reminders of the show all over the place. A great job and well done!

    They were severely understaffed. It took 15 minutes of standing at the door before we got seated, and it was 45 minutes after ordering that we finally got our drinks. The one waitress and one bartender who were present did what they could, but the whole experience was a letdown and wasn't how my partner and I wanted to spend his birthday.
