O'Neill's in Cardiff

Great place to have a pint, Dan was really polite and made me feel welcome. Chill vibe and a chill guy

Served by Max, absolutely lovely bloke. Pub has a great vibe

Excellent service from Georgia, would go again happily :)

Adam was amazing! His service was welcoming and was outstanding. Him and his staff went the extra mile to make Us feel welcome - shame he was a united fan but. Any win them all! Definitely visit here for a beer

Very little respect shown to the Guinness... it wasn't poured properly which was disappointing for an Irish bar. Drink prices were very expensive... double the price of the same drinks compared to the Prince of Wales pub opposite, the tables were sticky and not cleaned, the toilets weren't the best, and the service wasn't particularly good (borderline poor/slow)... so I'm struggling to understand why anyone would frequent or return.

Had a great night out here on the weekend with my mates. Shout out to Niamh who's service was excellent.

Great food, very helpful and pleasant staff

Had an amazing time! Thank you to Niamh for helping me and my friends have the best night, what a difference having excellent service makes.

I had the pleasure of being served by The Lorax at O'Neill's, and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I sat down, The Lorax greeted me with a warm smile and immediately made me feel welcome. Not only did he offer fantastic recommendations, but his knowledge of the menu and his passion for the food and drinks was evident in every interaction. His energy and charm were contagious, and he went above and beyond to ensure my meal was perfect. Whether it was refilling my drink or offering a thoughtful suggestion, The Lorax made sure I felt like a VIP throughout my visit. The service was fast, attentive, and friendly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you're lucky enough to be served by The Lorax, you're in for a treat. Highly recommend this amazing spot and this incredible server! Five stars all the way!

Barman got drinks wrong and argues in front of everyone that it was my fault. Drinks are the most expensive I have ever paid in Cardiff. Will definitely not go back.

Lovely place Beth was an absolute delight 10/10 service

lush vibe and beth was really lovely and happy to help

Lovely staff, fot servered by Beth and Georgia

Tom Hughes, max, Lewis, Lee, niamh.... Good team good Guinness

Lee was a great bartender, friendly and talkative

The company was first class as was Mad Max...

I love drinking beer and an assortment of alcohols at this establishment, especially when provided by the talented bartender Lee, I also had an assortment of small plates including the cheeseburger spring rolls, oumph tacos and kimcheese bites.

WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!! What a wonderful pub with service from Lee , Guinness was lovely and the food was incredible, I had the veggie sausage and mash and it was to die for. Thank you O’Neils, I will be coming back

Amazing place to drink, lovely staff, Adam provided the best service ever.

Great place for a pint and a catch up. Thank you maxx

Great food, great pint. Lewis behind the bar gave us great service too. Nothing to complain about, would recommend.

Amazing time for my birthday food with friends!! Love the staff and the whole vibe.

I cant comment on the food as I didnt eat here however the drinks were 10/10 and the atmosphere was definitely what you would expect for a saturday night out!! I will definitely be there again

Cool pub. The dj was great. We did not order any food but the vibe was good.

Great service from max at the bar! Great guy!

Great service from max at the bar

Quite good English breakfast for a reasonable price. You will always get a seat in the morning for it. Might get busier in the evenings.

Awesome service, great atmosphere

Food is gorgeous and reasonable prices.Staff are very nice

I come here all the time,, bar staff are amazing

Lovely place for a pint or some food. Always come here when I'm in Cardiff 🤙

Really good and the pints were great. Amazing atmosphere. Would come again.

Good pub with good music on Saturday night!

quite expensive, but an enjoyable experience

Terrible service! My friend ordered three drinks which the bar maid had got wrong twice. Rather than resolving the issue she lied to security said he swore and kicked him out. I was also scammed! One bar maid was charging me about £8+for a rum and cab of redbull, where as the bar manager would charge me £12+ and would only give me the rum and with the glass fulled up with redbull ( less than half a can) I’m going to contact them for a refund as I believe the manager was charging me more to cover the drinks he was giving to his friends.

The guy u have playing is.fabulous....and he does requests.....Made my night and.it is still early x

Had a great time here after a Christmas meal elsewhere

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Sat in the upper part of the pub. Plenty of seats and even though it was busy not waiting long for drinks. Both ordered food which was really nice. Lovely clean pub and good choice of menu for food and drinks.

Great night and great food. It went down well.

Had an incredible night here tonight team were all lovely and made our night. We will see you next week x

Came into the pub and really enjoyed myself good times good music and the staff are really good especially Adam he was very helpful

Great experiment great experience thank you

This will be the 2nd time we've come to O'Neills for breakfast and a drink. Breakfast was amazing I just wish they had more variety of pale ales such as Old Speckled Hen or Hobgoblin I'd even try a Rev. James if O'Neills had it on tap.

Amazing staff and great atmosphere

It's a great place for a night out! The music is good, and it's a fantastic spot to party. The staff are nice too, especially bartender Alex, who was lovely

Amazing food and good choice of drinks

Great food, amazing service and really good music, 100% recommend!

The food was really good. Good music and good atmosphere

Great pub on a weekend the music and atmosphere is top notch

Happy hour is the best, well made cocktails 😄

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the pleasure of visiting ONeills last Saturday night, and I can confidently say it was one of the best evenings out I've had in a long time! The drink selection was impressive, featuring a variety of local craft beers and creative cocktails. I tried the signature Guinness and it was refreshingly delicious! My friends sampled a few pints. Now, let’s talk about the food. We ordered the loaded nachos and the mega mixed grill and both were outstanding! The nachos were perfectly crispy and generously topped, while the steak was cooked to perfection—juicy and bursting with flavor. We even saved room for dessert and indulged already fantastic meal. The live music added an extra layer of enjoyment to the night. The band played a great mix of classic hits and modern tunes, which kept the energy high and everyone in good spirits. It was the perfect soundtrack for a Saturday night out. Overall, oneills exceeded all our expectations. The combination of great food, fantastic drinks, and a lively atmosphere made for an unforgettable evening. I can’t wait to return and make it a regular spot. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun night out!

O’Neill’s on St. Mary’s Street is like that friend who always promises “just one pint” but somehow you end up singing The Fields of Athenry with strangers at midnight. The atmosphere is unbeatable—whether you’re in for a lively evening or just a quiet pint (good luck with the quiet part). The food? Classic pub fare, but it hits the spot. Their hearty breakfasts will cure any regret from the night before, and the steak and Guinness pie tastes like a warm Irish hug. Oh, and don’t sleep on the chips—they’re worth crossing St. Mary’s for. The staff? Legends. Always friendly, even when you’ve asked for the third round of “just water, thanks.” And the live music? A guaranteed good time, whether you’re singing along or just tapping your foot because your hands are busy holding a pint. In short, O’Neill’s isn’t just a pub; it’s an experience. It’s where diets go to die, friendships are forged, and memories are made… even if they’re a little hazy the next morning. Highly recommend, just make sure you clear your calendar the next day!

The venue very kindly let us use the upstairs space to host a pub quiz in honour of Ty Hafan for free. Thank you Ethan for looking after us!

O'Neill's: The pub where the Guinness flows as smoothly as the banter, and the hearty portions of food could probably feed a small village—assuming that village isn't too picky. From the moment you step in, it feels like you're either in an Irish village or a cozy, slightly chaotic living room of a long-lost friend. The staff are like family, if family was full of people who didn’t mind cracking a joke or two while serving you. And let’s talk about the food: If your stomach had a voice, it would be singing praises after a plate of their fish and chips. Crispy, golden, and practically begging for you to dip it in tartar sauce—this is comfort food at its finest. The drinks? Well, it’s O’Neill’s, so expect a pint of Guinness so perfectly poured, you might start wondering if the bartender is actually a wizard. The ambiance is a delightful mix of cozy and lively—like someone threw a traditional pub into a blender with a splash of good vibes. The only downside? You might leave with a food coma and a lighter wallet, but hey, that’s the price you pay for a night of laughter, food, and pints that come with a side of Irish charm. Would I recommend it? Absolutely—just make sure you’re hungry, thirsty, and prepared to leave with a smile on your face (and a bit of a food baby).

Most rude security staff I ever met. Arrived in Cardiff by bus from Bristol Airport and just wanted to have a beer and catch some livemusic before getting to bed at my hotel. Accused me of being to drunk to enter even if I didnt have a single drink before. I have always had great experiences in the UK befor but this was absolutely awful

We watched a comedy show here that was very good and the atmosphere in the upstairs room was perfect. There was also a good band on downstairs. And a nice selection of drinks including cocktails.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff.

Very fun and such a good atmosphere

Bar man let us sample the wine before we ordered. Lovely atmosphere and good music.

Adam on the bar had great service! Definitely recommend O’neils anytime

First hand impressions to me are very important and unfortunately the first person to serve me in O'Neil today didn't leave a very good impression, but fortunately for him the food, company, drinks offer & supervisor made up for it thankyou very much Lewis!

nice food, was quiet when we went there which is unusual is lovely supervisor shame about the first guy that served us didn’t get his name, looked very unhappy in his job! work in customer service myself so know how first hand impressions count 😊 thanks lewis, for rectifying poor service!

Great for watching sport,good beer, only downside is that it is usually very busy

Nice enough pub. Friendly staff. TVs are loud during the day though

Felt very unsafe. Too scared for my own safety to return.

Enjoyed a fantastic breakfast. Quick service. Welcoming staff.

A football pub exactly as it should be. Good burger, with even better Guinness. Got a waiter who could pour Guinness properly. Good setup to watch the match and clean toilets

Went there on a night out, with some German friends. Great pub, though I was disappointed to see the heads of the band Daft Punk, mounted in the gents toilets 😀 Otherwise, great place

Good for those who want to dance and drink. It's a pity that the tables are dirty and no one even thought to come up and wipe it

We had a great time visiting Cardiff and dining here 😀

The Gammon was brilliant. Hit the spot. Would eat here again.

Really good food and service. Would come again!

Great staff, good atmosphere. Good food!

Had the mac and cheese. Worth the extra toppings. However, was Small portion considering it was a additional topping. Food came in good time. it was very busy but the guy who served was run off his feet and maintained good service. This guy deserves a pay rise.

We didn't eat here today however the service and atmosphere was value for money

10 out of 10 all round amazing food and fantastic service :) Thank you

Great and helpful service, food came extremely fast and well delivered. Will definitely be coming here again.

Early afternoon drink and some food, mix XL MIX Grill nniiccee.

Really good surface, did not ignore me

Out Saturday, really enjoy it one of the best nights out I’ve had in a while. The bald bartender made it a great atmosphere, he went above and beyond for the service we had. Will definitely be back and will be telling all friends and family about this lovely place. Thank you!

Fun, clean, fast serving on the busiest of times. Great time, great service.
