I totally love this place, the bar food is as good as it gets and the bartenders are cute as buttons! really good atmosphere and great tunes, tho i gotta say that i'm more of a thursday-night gal these days -don't get me wrong, the weekends here are party-heaven and funky as hell, but i just love the fact that by week this place oozes sophistication without getting poncy with it. perfect after-work drinking!!

I was so disappointing to find that the Paradise has now turned into one of those rave pubs. I thought it had been taken over and given a new more up market image.
I went along to the paradise on New Years Day (at around 2.00pm) for a nice NY day drink and lunch with 6 friends only to find two rude bouncers on the door, music blaring out (prob a DJ), the odd vacant looking person roaming around (eyes rolling, the lot). they were even charging an entry fee.
Kensal Rise has had its fair share of Rave pubs... The Regent, which is awful and The Grey hound which has now closed but used to have DJ's on a Sunday night (this never worked for them either)... this just kills the trade of people that want to have drink and some food.
There was another group of people who also decided not to go in and have a noisy drink with a load of paranoid ravers.
What a bad management discussion to have a DJ and to charge an entry fee, do you really think that the people who you are targeting the new up market menu at are going to want to pay to get into an establishment where the music is so load you cant even have a conversation with your mates.
Would you rather cater for a hand full of Ravers (they only drink water anyway). Or say groups of people that will eat lunch buy lots wine etc??

Love this pub - since it changed hands it has lost some of its uniqueness (if that's a word) but it is still in the spirit of old. Glad that they have got rid of those filthy and horrible metal chairs. The much vaunted Bloody Marys on the menu aren't all that - but there you go. One of those places that I drop into from time to time and always enjoy.

If I had read all these reviews before having visited last weekend the place would never have appealed. Whether or not the patrons are public school, rude and sobby people are a huge turn off. But I did go last Saturday and had one of the most amazing evenings mainly because the music was just excellent-really good funk and old skool hip hop -no body seems to have metioned that! Some people were over coiffed- sure, but not unfriendly I thought. I danced all night. The reason why I'm posting something is so that proper folk don't get put off because then it will turn into another boring "in-bar".
