O’ Neill’s Bar

Small cramped, in fact tiny, we debate about the fact that this might be the smallest o Neill’s we have ever been inside but quite quickly the smell becomes a little overbearing - we decide it smell like a slowly rotting old person. There remains a good selection at the bar and [...]

O Neills Bar

Along the busy streets of Watford at the dead of night on a Saturday, drinkers shuffle in single file like a flowing brook towards destinations within arms reach of the bar they have just left. O Neill’s is right in the thick of the action and is a relatively large venue. The bouncers outside [...]

Where to go out on St. Paddy’s Day in London

On Tuesday 17th March 2009 is St. Paddy’s Day (more formally known as St Patrick’s Day) and there can be no doubt that London will be full of people dressed up in green capes, leprechaun suits and wearing giant Guinness themed black hats. But where are [...]

O’ Neill’s Irish Bar

Tucked away quite percariously in London’s Soho, a stone’s throw from China town, it seems that the bar manager thinks its okay to charge £7 entry fee to what is just a very packed two storey - low ceiling pub. Sure, its popular and in a very central location but at least [...]

O’ Neills Bar

A split level pub made up of two bars. As with all o’neills bars this one has a woody feel about it and is continually filled. The lower bar is more lively than the pub feel of the first with pop tunes and an array of middle aged drinkers. The location of this [...]

O’ Neills Bar

Probably not the best location for an O Neill’s bar of this size considering its a fairly small addition to this Irish family but there are tables outside sitting by the busy main road and the bar is at the far end as you enter. You had better be pretty good at hurdles [...]

O’Neil’s Bar

This O’ Neils is a very loud very popular and strangely pleasant addition to the chain. Saturday nights see young and middle aged people alike congregate in a formidable sea of faces where getting to the bar is not a struggle and service is followed with a smile. The ceiling is lower than the [...]

Bar SW4

Bar SW4 is now an O Neill’s
An attempt at trying to produce an upmarket lounge bar with hanging plasma screens and tiny chandeliers appears to have gone wrong. The punters it brings are scruffy types, looking for a night on the pull, heavily on the drink or looking for music so commercial it brings [...]

O’ Neill’s

Although not strictly in Holborn this O Neil’s is slyly sandwiched between Holborn and Covent Garden. It is a double entrance chain Irish pub with a route inside that brings you down the passage from one door, past the bar to the back of the pub with its bottom-of-the-range leather chairs and then U-turns [...]

O’ Neills

Like a handful of marbles crammed into a thimble punters appear to have filled this pub in Cannon Street and spill out of the doorway into the surrounding streets outside producing a maze of persons where finding the bar is a complete fluke. Inside the bar is a centrepiece for a two sided venue [...]
