Waxy O Conner’s
Accessible from two separate roads in Soho makes this one of the largest bars in the area. On entry it has a very gothicy Irish medieval feel about the place, a lot of wood and fake candles with light rock music in the air. These are at least four floors to this place but it reveals itself only as you begin to explore which is what makes the place so fun. The DJ booth appears to be in the air in a main hall, meanwhile there a big screens for sports, private rooms for hire, a large dining area and countless bars off on different tangents. getting lost is just way too easy especially after a couple. And the bars are well stocked with quick service even on a Friday night. The drinks are a little pricey though at £3.10 a pint/ £12 a bottle of wine. The crowd is in their mid twenties, definitely the place to bring a small group for a couple of drinks but despite the place its not easy to find a table or a place to sit!
Overall I found the size of the place entertaining and rewarding, it probably gets rather old quite quickly but it certainly gets a thumbs up in my book even if it is expensive- 8/10
