Oh, what a great day it was, one that will be stenciled and etched in our memories for ever! May 16th 2009 was Union City’s 50th Anniversary Parade and Classic Car show.

Paddy’s decided to take part in the parade, and our float Paddy’s decided to take part in the parade, and our float would not have been possible without the help of our wonderful patrons and colleagues David Thibert, Monica Takama, Rachel Aceberos, Clarice Aceberos and Nora Newell. The words Thank You is just two words, but there is a whole depth of appreciation that cannot be properly conveyed and expressed.

What a fantastic day, wonderful floats and bands, great crowd support. We at Paddy’s wish to thank all the volunteers of Union City’s 50th Organising Committee for a job well done.

Yes, summer time is here. And we are trying out something new this summer. We are going to stay open later, thanks to your persistent requests. Instead of closing every night at 10.00 pm, we will now close at 11.00 pm, starting June 19th. If there is still pent up demand and customer traffic, we might extend it further.

We were open 24 hours the month of May to enable our student brethren focus on their exams. It was a satisfying month for us and for the student community as well. It was great to see such a huge turnout!

From all of us at Paddy’s, we thank you very much for your continued patronage, and we wish our student community nothing but the best.

Paddy’s is inviting all musicians to use our facility for their performances. Anyone is welcome - spoken word artists, DJ’s, bands, rappers - to host and perform at Paddy’s.

We ar also, in association with the Union City Leisure Services, looking to showcase talented artists on our premises. Currently we are featuring the Annual Sharing the Arts, and we are calling all artists to avail of this wonderful place. Your medium of work does not matter, we would still like to feature you.
