The Claddagh Irish Pub — Restaurant in Waitematā

Best pub I’ve ever been to in New Zealand by a long shot. The staff are ABSOLUTELY delightful, helpful, polite and always friendly. Their food is the absolute BEST, with such fair prices and great portions. Going out for a lovely meal and a few drinks is always affordable, while still top quality with a great atmosphere. There’s pool tables and darts. Live music and happy hour is always so much fun, and the Wednesday quiz night is fab with an awesome quiz master. Definitely a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a great time that won’t break the bank. Absolute hidden gem of Newmarket that I couldn’t...

Spectacular bar to go to with friends. It's my favorite bar in Auckland. The service is excellent; you'll always be greeted with a smile and great kindness. The prices are superb, and you can even play pool for just two dollars. Cris, the bartender, is always ready to assist you and always provides the best service. I've been there several times, and it's always been fantastic. Chef Jeet, on the other hand, is equally kind and possesses outstanding culinary skills. Without a doubt, it's the best bar....

Not sure if they are fully functioning now. Went there yesterday in hope of a good dinner and beers and were told that there's only snacks menu available, quite a limited one at that. It was 5:30pm but the kitchen was obviously not working. There were just a couple of gents sitting at the bar and drinking beer, overall the place looked abandoned. Sad as I was really after this place, following all the good reviews...
