Mr Fitzpatrick's was established in the 1890s by
Irish immigrants from
Dublin during the peak of the
temperance movement and was formerly operated alongside 39 other branches. It was owned by the Fitzpatrick family until it was given to Bob and Beryl Waddington in 1982 following Malachi Fitzpatrick's retirement. The bar was bought by John and Suzanne Spencer in 1994. it was renamed from Herbal Health to Fitzpatrick's Herbal Health in 1998. In 2003,
sarsaparilla was briefly unavailable at Fitzpatrick's due to the presence of
sassafras, an ingredient traditionally present in the drink and a potential
carcinogen. It was subsequently reintroduced with a modified formulation. It briefly closed between January and March 2016. Following a refurbishment, for which the bar was closed between July and August of that year, it started selling
cake and
milkshakes and incorporating their existing drinks into the recipes. On 18 November 2021, Mr Fitzpatrick's made an appearance in an episode of
Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. == Products ==
