The spot

Why go here?

Connolly's is the kind of Irish local that used to line every high street in west London: memorabilia on the walls, a pool table in the back, multiple screens for live sport and a garden for the sunny hours. On a Brentford matchday it is one of the closest proper pubs to the Gtech, and the Guinness is the reason people keep coming back.

  • Traditional Irish pub on Chiswick High Road
  • Memorabilia wall covering the length of the bar
  • Pool table in the back room
  • Multiple screens showing live sport
  • Garden with outdoor seating
  • Live Irish music on select Fridays
  • Known across Chiswick for its Guinness

Best moment to visit
