Staff: 75%

The staff at Paddy's Palace Belfast wasn't the best. The guys were alright once you got to know them but if they didn't like you then you could expect not to get too much help from them. They also appeared pretty unhappy to be there but they also seemed to be very understaffed. They were somewhat helpful with me since I got to know them but I also saw some of them being rude to other guests.
