The Paddock

A loyal clientele has been flocking to The Paddock for more than 60 years, seeking a fuss-free pub (a real pub, not the gimmick-festooned Firkin version) where the bartender knows the difference between a gimlet and a gibson—just two of the classic bevies available on an impressive cocktail menu. An overhaul in the mid-’90s resulted in a slightly sleeker feel (oak-panelled walls and chrome accents were among the additions), as well as an infusion of hipsters. Thankfully, the live music (such as Kevin Quain’s piano tunes on Tuesdays) remains rooted in the era of hep.
