Fiddler, London

April 2024 update - "The Fiddler, Kilburn has had odd opening dates for the past few years, but they did have gigs there last year. There is a gig advertised on Facebook for October, which is promising. It is a music venue, not a pub. They tended to only open in the evenings and you need to pay to get in. Their Twitter is active, but their website no longer works. I went by on the bus around 9pm and it was still closed. It was owned by the music promoter Vince Power, who died recently, so I would imagine the odd opening dates have something to so with his death. They also own Dingwalls in Camden. I will keep an eye on this one."

Was a restaurant in 1989 and then an Irish pub by 1993. Closed in 2018 and reopened as a live music venue run by Vince Power in 2019. From their website: "We are open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Live Football matches and every gig night from 7 pm. We will keep you posted of when Football matches are on! (No Admission after 12:30am)"

The Kingdom bar was one of the many Irish bars along Kilburn High Road and was hugely popular amongst GAA fans and the Irish community, especially Kerry fans, as the pub was painted in their team's colours - green and gold! The bar was one of the Kissane Taverns pubs around North West London, which have all now closed. All the big GAA and rugby matches were shown and everyone would stand for the Irish National Anthem before the games. The closure of the bar in 2018, was a sign of the times, but it reopened in early 2019, as the new live music venue - The Fiddler.

We have uploaded a picture of how it looked as The Kingdom.
