The Shanakee, The Hyde, NW9

Visited 22/04/25 No cask. Typical venue keg offering of Guinness, Staro, Heineken, Madri, Aspall, Fosters, Carlsberg, Coors. More typical North London Irish bar in terms of its size and feel. This is a quite small rectangle off a parade of shops, bare boarded at the front and carpeted at the rear. Bar counter is mid venue on right hand wall, with stool seating around. Leather banquette in the front right corner and front left corner and then down the length of the venue with regular tables and small stools the other side thereof. Plenty of TV screens on the walls all showing the evening racing action on my visit. Plenty of Irish pub memorabilia on the walls, especially opposite the bar counter. A fruit machine and a wall mounted jukebox in the rear right hand corner. An average venue of its type, prefer ones that are a bit livelier!
