For all those talking about wanting better bands...
The BibleCodeSundays play there now every Sunday and they are absolute magic. The best London Irish band in... well, in London!
Check them out, you will not be disappointed.

I think it was Billy Connelly who said that the Irish and the Scots often mistake the themed rubbish, which is assembled for tourists (think wee hairy highlanders, black and white pictures of noble looking peasants and signposts to Athenry) for the real culture. Hence its not a surprise to find an excessively oirish themed pub to be full of Irish ex-pats. That said, there is a lot to be said for the place and i'm pleased to recomend it.
First the bad stuff
The drinks are quite overpriced, except for the Guinness which is unsurprisingly fairly reasonable. The food is utter shite, unless of course you are shit faced to the point that anything tastes good.
Good stuff
Best night out in Hendon if you go on a night that isn’t crowded and there are live bands on. Cant say I like the prices but without a doubt this place has a great craic and while that’s still the case I'll heartily recommend it; just don’t eat anything and get pissed before you go. Great having a place this lively in the suburbs!.
If you fancy going somewhere less themey try the excellent Bhodran down at Hendon Central.

Two bottles of Magners and Two Packets of Crisps for a tenner.
No thanks.
Try the Greyhound round the corner instead. It's cheaper and the beer is better.

So was told Claddagh was the place to go now the Quays has lost it. Well been here twice in last 6 weeks. First time went we had a great time, few weeks later think the bar staff were the only people who could speak English. Night was pretty flat so had to get drunk on over priced drink and laugh at all around us........... Was good to listen to DJ Terry again as his replacement in the Quays must be a YTS trainee....................

Went to The Cladders on Friday evening. Very disappointed with the band who were something out of a social club environment yet luckily the disco redeemed itself by playing better stuff. The majority of blokes in this pub are drunk losers, hanging around you whilst you are dancing - not pleasant. Drinks are a bit pricy but it was a good atmosphere all in all and I would go again if there was a better band playing.
|
A decent pub but like someone said you do get the occasional beered up pratlooking for a row.
|
I didn't need tickets two years ago and it doesn't say anything on the claddagh ring website about tickets.
|
anyone know whats going on sat patricks? i know its gonna be busy so is it ticket only?
|
I got asked if I spoke english in this place. Clientelle has changed from what it used to be. Even with DJ Terry in there I don't think they can draw the crowd from the Quays
|
anyone know if its ticket only on new years eve?

the refurb has been done really well. it seems a bit bigger, i think that bit on the front never used to be there. still got great atmosphere. best place in hendon, especially since they have ruined the poitoin (now the gallery)

Half decent pub.
Gets busy with wannabee coppers from the nearby police traning school.
|
the place look brilliant with all the old crowd from 5 years ago back like it has been the last 2 weekends the future looks good, finbar has done a great job and i will be going back there after i had fallen out of love with the claddagh before it was done up, hopefully all the irish crowd will go back to make it what it was before, this will be THE place to watch the world cup as well.

I absolutely love the Claddagh Ring. Great night out with friends guaranteed. Bar staff are really friendly, bands are good and the atmosphere is just wicked. You can go for a big night out or just to chill out. 10 out of 10.

feck its not a miss kelly is it. Fr murphys super star. some drinker u are. All day sunday sessions the best. the church kingscross, then backpackers, then the claddagh some craic. must meet up when your over.

Was a student nurse in the Royal Free Hampstead. The best nites craic we had there hi. Good regular crowd but always new faces. Good Gaa crowd for the matches. And you will always meet ones from home. Great spot sadly missed, but heading back for long session wkend with ladies footie team from Tyrone so beware.

They say you never notice your own smell.
It does smell in there and the food is terrible.
anonymous - 6 Mar 2005 23:15 |
the sister pub to my all time favourite pub the quays. its really good in here (not as good as the quays obviously) but still a great night out. the bands are really good.
cant say ive ever noticed a smell of a pet shop. maybe it was coming from you!
|
The place smells like a pet shop and they have the cheek to charge west end prices!
But they have some good bands in there and it gets packed and has a good atmosphere.
The food's crap though.

The best bar for many a mile due to atmosphere, crowd & live music. Rarely any trouble there but expect to arrive home smelling like an ash tray and a bit sticky from other peoples drinks due to all that bopping in a confined space. Not many kids luckily and the £3 entry on the weekend is worth it even in suburbia. Hey and nobody here has mentioned the close proximity of the Kebab house for those of you who go on pilgramage to worship the rotating pole late in the evening...see you there!

Great atmosphere!!good music nice friendly people and good looking young men!! only have been once but planning my return visit already!!

Klara - 15 Jun 2004 12:34 |
fantastic live music and open late on the weekends. can get a bit overcrowded though!!! some nice lookin birds but the occasional prick up for a fight

if you ever fancy going to a decent pub go to the claddagh ring. it's standard is fantastic the food is lovely and the staff are friendly. it's the best pub you'll ever find so don't bother going anywhere else because it won't be half as good as the claddagh.

really good on a saturday! not underaged with teeny boppers running around! an all round good laugh to end of a drunken saturday nite, friendly croud and staff, love it!
claire - 18 Mar 2004 22:19 |
Why has this pub got a 10 rating, is there nobbling afoot?
A 7 or 8 max.
Large mad Irish bar with live bands, but gets too packed on Fri-Sun. Cattle market.

This is where I go every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday...the odd Saturday and occasionally on a Wednesday for the kareoke...You just can't put it down. The crowd are lovely, always has regulars and new faces and the bar staff are friendly and the lads are well fit! I agree with David, v.easy to pull! They have wicked Christmas parties as well. The best pub around in my opinion
