What people say
The Bodhran is a fantastic Irish bar located in Hendon Central, London. This pub is proud to be the only rugby pub in Hendon and sponsors the local rugby team. It's an ideal place to host parties for any occasion, from birthdays to christenings. The live music every Saturday night is a great way to unwind and enjoy some quality entertainment.
The reopening of the Terrace Bar on Saturday 10th June was a huge success with a BBQ from 4pm to 9pm and the Champions League final at 8pm. The Bodhran also offers tickets for events at the London Irish Centre through their website.
During Cheltenham & St Patrick’s weekend, The Bodhran showed all the races live and hosted Xpressions on Friday night followed by an Irish Dancing Display. On Saturday, they showed three Six Nations games followed by Both Barrells playing live music.
The newly heated beer garden makes it perfect for watching all the live action during World Cup season while enjoying your favorite drink. The Bodhran is always looking for new staff members and offers top rates and flexible terms for suitable applicants.
Overall, The Bodhran is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fun-filled evening with friends or family. With its friendly atmosphere, great food, drinks, and entertainment options, it's no wonder why this pub has become so popular among locals and visitors alike.
