Didn’t know this place existed until a recent ladies’ night out. An Irish pub, tucked down a driveway in Newmarket’s main street, with a bit of a local feel. Bar staff are young, clientele are not. Never mind, we were here to listen to the band (Father & Sons) and hit the dance floor. Enjoyable evening.

Great for a night out if you’re in your late 40’s +. Not much fun for the younger ones. The band ‘Father and Son’ is what we went for and they were good value and got us all up dancing. The bar staff were friendly and were happy to pour our shots. We never ate here so I can’t say what the food is like. There is a pool table and darts board if thats your thing. There’s a fire which is cosy for winter. All in all a good night out here on Friday.

I have to say most of the Irish bars in Auckland are pretty decent when it comes to evoking pubs back home in Ireland. The Claddagh is quite dark inside but this gives it a bit of atmosphere and you can feel your blood pressure lowering when you sip a Guinness in this mellow environment. If it wasn’t for a friend who took me there one night I might have never noticed this place as it’s down a lane off Broadway in Newmarket. I suppose having it as more of a cult bar is better than something more mainstream like Father Teds. An Irishman judges a pub on the quality of the Guinness and I have to say it’s pretty darn good in here. The staff are really nice which makes you feel at home in every sense of the word. I actually often forget this place is here until someone mentions it and then I am happy to return.

Claddagh’s in a nice Irish pub that’s off the main road and out of the way, so you can enjoy an afternoon pint without the garrulous office types. It’s as dark and calming as any Irish pub should be, about the colour of Guinness inside the bar. Or escape into the airy courtyard, enclosed with brushwork fence. This area looks better at night with it’s dainty little fairy lights and minus the moving trucks in the background.
The relaxed but respectful service is by far the bars best feature. The staff go beyond the standard salutations and engage in friendly conversation with customers, without interrogating them or becoming unprofessional. Platters coming out of the kitchen look enticing and are handled with skill by the waiters.
A couple of days later, there wasn’t a trace of the St. Patrick’s Day carnage and the sunny courtyard only held the sound of an Irish fiddler. Fantastic.

We used to come here every now and then when I worked down the road. It’s a great pub. The inside is all dark and pub like, with not much lighting, and then there’s a nice decent sized outdoor area the gets bathed in sunlight, surrounded by wine barrels and the like. The staff are really friendly, as they usually are in Irish pubs, the beer is always cold and they have excellent, excellent fries.
It’s not on the main street so you’ll probably only ever go here because someone you know has gone here and they would have had a really good time and wanted to show you how awesome it is. We used to pop down here for lunch or for after work drinks, and I loved it. I wish I still worked nearby!

St Patty’s day is always a huge event at the Claddagh, being an Irish pub of course. Marquees, outside bars and stage for Celtic dancing (if that’s what it’s called) are set up in the lane where the pub is located, almost doubling the venue in size.
Other than that, the Claddagh is a great place to watch rugby, mimicking a dingy bar in Northwestern Europe, with it’s low roof and dim lighting, giving such an authentic feel it feels rude not to down a Guiness.
I have been to 21sts here also which was great fun, although a wee bit cramped. There is a private room to the side of the bar and chaos ensued once we headed out into the main part to mingle with the public patrons.
If you have not heard of the Claddagh you probably didn’t even realise it was there. It is located in a lane between Broadway Newmarket and Nuffield Street: towards Farmers on the Broadway side and City Fitness on the other.
