Chandos Arms: Pub in Barnet, London
The Chandos Arms is Colindale's quiet hub for local art and participation. Pub quiz, open mic nights, the sort of programming that builds a neighbourhood. You'll find the kind of place where someone's always got something on, and people actually show up. It's not trying to be anything else, which is exactly the point. Art-focused events here tend toward the conversational and unrushed. The room does what a good local should: gives people somewhere to try something, meet each other, be part of things. Colindale's a residential area that doesn't shout about itself. The Chandos Arms fits right in.

About Chandos Arms
The Chandos Arms is an award-winning community-owned pub on Colindale Avenue, a five-minute walk from Colindale station. A handsome traditional pub with Tudor-style black beams, it was named Community Pub of the Year at the Great British Pub Awards and has been a genuine local hub ever since, with a log fire and a well-kept range of real ales.
The kitchen is a big draw. Expect homemade burgers, stone-baked pizzas and proper pub classics, with a full Sunday roast and Yorkshire puddings at the weekend. It is a warm, family-friendly place by day and dog friendly throughout, with outdoor seating for warmer evenings and a weekday happy hour.
There is something on most nights. The Big Quiz runs every Thursday from 7:30pm, free to enter with a bar tab up for grabs, and a monthly open mic on the second Wednesday showcases local talent. Add regular live music leaning jazz, funk and soul, plus karaoke, DJs, bingo and big-screen sport, and the events week rarely goes quiet.
Getting there is easy: it is moments from Colindale on the Northern line and close to the Edgware Road, with buses and street parking nearby. It works as well for a quiet pint by the fire as it does for quiz night or a weekend session.
