This place is "OK" at best . . . That is . . . If you are a smoker ! If not this place is gross. I went there on a Sat night to check it out. I walked thru the outdoor seating area to head inside at first. As soon as I walked in I was surrounded by a cloud of cigarette smoke and the live band who was playing was poor. I walked out and sat at the outside bar. It took a while to get a drink but when the bartender got back he was polite and friendly. Nearly everyone at the outdoor bar was smoking also. I finished my beer quickly and left. Unlikely I will be going back. BUT if your a smoker . . . I guess it could be decent.

One of my favorite places.. Great place to watch ANY game.. Be sure to get there early for NFL football, Inside or outside. This is a smoking establishment. I don't smoke and I don't care if you do! Great staff, always fun and they do serve some great food. This is one of the few places left to get Bass Ale on tap.. A REAL Black & Tan anyone? Live music? Always! Best bang for the buck? Yep, and you might take her home too! Clancy's can be rude, crude and sometimes obnoxious but you can't wait to go back there again, and again.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU'RE NOT A SMOKER. Hazardous environment to the health of your lungs. Otherwise, pretty standard bar food and drinks.

Friendly environment decided to sit outside in tiki bar area due ro the smokey inside bar. I wished there was a non smoking section inside becuse this is fl but I did not let thid keep me from coming... Was greeted by the pretty bartender she has a smile on her face which makes it even more welcoming. She was very prompt with her service. I am a camel when it comes to drinks she noticed that and 5 min later wad brought a pitcher of coke. Good call saved her time. Drinks are my biggest pet peeve. I ordered the Clancey Roll which is corned beef and cabbage fried very good just keep some napkins handy they are very greasy I squeeze them out. It comes with I think a thousand island dressing. Then I ordered boneless wings with a pineapple rum sauce. Wow totally different and good flavor. The music at lunch is low so its not overpowering just a great overall atmosphere. I will be coming back. Im sure you can bring kids but I probably would not.this would be a good place to have food to go.

We always enjoy sitting out in the tiki bar and hearing live music, which they have nightly. The service is spotty at times and the food is nothing special, we orders nachos once and they were microwaved and warm... but if you want a cold beer and a cool place to chill stop on in.

I didn't have many expectations coming here based on some of the reviews and tips. I would not recommend this establishment. The food is not of the best quality and it was difficult to breathe inside and/or outside due to the smell of cigarettes.

Good if you are a smoker. There is an outdoor section set up like a tiki bar. There is a section of computer gambling games. bud light bottles are $3 - did not have any food. wide screen tv are good to watch games.

Most of the waitress's are nice but we experienced two very rude and verbally abusive female bartenders on several occasions. After the very rude behavior we experienced from the inside female bartender last night, (she claimed to be the manager - did not get her name), we will no longer give Clancy's our business. We spent over $60 in food/drink and around $200 in the machines...at the very least, we should expect to receive kindness and not rude/abrasive behavior from the bartender. This is not the first time this same bartender has been rude to my husband and I, but it will be the last. What a shame since the food is ok and we sometimes brought visiting friends for food and drinks in the past. Also, the women's bathroom is in dire need of updating and is seldom clean; chairs are ripped and torn; place smells horrible and food service is usually very slow. If you are in the bar past 9:30 pm. watch out as the crowd sometimes gets violent and the music is cranked up to ear drum breaking levels.

Visiting my grandpa in Florida with my brtother- come 9pm (grandpas bedtime!) we were wide awake with nothing to do but go to Walnart...or find a bar. We chose bar. Seeing a bunch of cars and hearing music, we decided "why not!?"- we scored the last parking space. Upon entering and odering two cocktails the bartender says "5.50$ total"....wait, total?? I'm from la...if a drink iis 5.50$ on it's own, let alone for two, it's assumed it's happy hour! 2.75$ for a drink...perhaps I'm just conditioned by paying too much in la, but this was fabulous. The bartenders were courteous no matter how busy things got. It was so much fun we returned the second night (3-13-10) of our trip- to find an actually amazing live band. I'm a musician, and therefore a snob, and even with my high standards, these guys were great and super friendly. The crowd is very mixed- anywhere from 20-60 (mostly a 35-45 crowd). Clancys is a real good time- nothing fancy, no frills- just a party. Highly reccommend!

I visit Clancy's every time I am in Bradenton which is several times a year. Great neighborhood place....mostly locals (my preference) but a great variety of people. Reasonable drink prices....great entertainment...and their food is always fresh, reasonably priced, and delicious. Their servers are top notch and get to know you like a friend. Clancy's may not be for everyone but it is my kind of place. They do allow smoking, which would normally be a negative for me, but at the outside Tiki bar, it has never bothered me.

Clancy's is a fun place. They always have something going on. They have an inside part and an outdoor tiki bar. The drinks are good and the food is great. All reasonably priced. The staff and patrons are all very friendly. It's a nice casual relaxing place to go.
