Paddys Bar and Entertainment Complex in Freetown
Paddys Bar in Freetown has become some sort of a phenomenon over the past few years. Founded by Paddy Warren an Irishman who sadly passed away in 2005, Paddys has become the main focal point for entertainment in Freetown. You have to experience it at least once. Paddys was notorious for remaining open during the civil war and was popular with UN troops, expatriates, Nigerian soldiers, diamond dealers, night workers and of course local folk just wanting to enjoy a night out. Well, the troops are gone and so too some of the expats and Paddys is still there. Paddys works… and it’s a really simple formula too… wide open space overlooking the sea, a roof, cheap drinks, roast beef, great music… ah the music!See also: So what is it about Paddys?

Hi, just wanted to say that Paddy was my uncle and he was not Irish! he is a true englishman.
Thanks for the comments about his bar and i am pleased to hear it is all still going well.
I see every body talking about paty nobody talks about,investment,i have just finish a research on the music business in Freetown,slept on a couch in a certain in one of the most famous studio in Freetown,went 3 times last year cost me over 10 thousand pounds,followed the Amistad ship around Europe and freetown,The whole Sierra-Leone is full of frudstars ,either riping the singers of or sleeping with the female singers so that they could help them record,internationally Sierra-leone music is nowere.Unless we readdress and invest in our country the foregins will take it and run.Thanks to the person who post sorie kondi information on this website,i am now on talks with his producer luke to see how i could help,with my expierence as a community out look presenter on radio upfront bbc in liverpool and runing a music promotion business for the past ten years,and co-dinator of Diamond child a music school soon to be opend in Godrich in Freetown.I think we should come thogether and write a propersal to the Dr bai Koroma him self i am already on dialog with one of the Ministers in the his government,all i have to say is we should forget about the party for now and think positive to move Sierra-leone to the next level.Thanks to the journalist who suprised me with a call about his new paper in Freetown and to Luke weesemen the producer for The blind singer Sorie kondi for starting to dialog with me,lets accomplisih not demolish
I highly recommend Alafia Point! They have a serene garden right on the beach where live performances take place. And then theres the main bar right across the street where a dj spins the latest tracks and delicious hot food is served with cold star beer or gin or guiness, etc, etc. Alafia Point is also the meetup point for the whos who of Sierra Leone and her expats.
