The Paddy's Pub Pilgrimage: Sunny or Soiled?
Ah, Paddy's Pub. The beacon of filth, the launching pad for questionable schemes, the home (well, kind of) to the Gang from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's a bar so iconic, you might just want to grab a fight milk and head there yourself. But before you pack your bags for Philly, hold on to your crowtein bars - there might be a twist (or two, or a dozen) in your Paddy's Pub dreams.

The Truth Is Out There (But Not in Philly)
Here's the thing: the gloriously grimy exterior you see on the show? Filmed in Los Angeles. Yes, you read that right. The real Paddy's Pub doesn't exist, which shouldn't come as a surprise considering the gang's, uh, "unique" approach to sanitation.
But Fear Not, There's a (Slightly Less Filthy) Alternative
There is a pub in Philly called Paddy's Old City Pub, and let's just say they've embraced the whole "It's Always Sunny" connection. They've got merch, pictures, and maybe even a cricket lurking in the back (don't worry, it's probably just a decoration). It's a great place to grab a beer (hopefully with a higher hygiene rating than what Charlie brews up in the Paddy's basement), and soak up some Sunny vibes.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
But is it the real Paddy's Pub? Well, that depends on your definition of "real." It won't smell like fight milk and despair, but hey, at least you can get a decent cheesesteak (Charlie would never approve, but whatever).
