O'Neills in City of London, Westminster

A wonder!! If you go to China Town you can't miss it!! Economical, good service and very good food!!

I visited O’Neill’s on Wardour Street a few years ago and had a very bad experience. I witnessed a fight on the top floor, and later, I was nearly assaulted by a group of guys who appeared to be drunk or on drugs and looking for trouble. Despite that, I decided to give the place another chance yesterday. Unfortunately, the first red flag was that they still serve pints in plastic cups, suggesting that nothing has changed in terms of the crowd they attract. As for the location, it’s a typical pub in a very touristy area, just a minute from Piccadilly Circus. We spent most of our time on the top floor, where there was live music, which was actually quite good. The service was efficient, and we didn’t have to wait long to be served. However, the place became extremely crowded, to the point where you could barely move, and once again, security seemed insufficient, especially as the night progressed. The crowd looked more civilized this time around. Overall, nothing special to remark about this place. It’s your typical O’Neill’s pub in a central location. While the live music and service were good, the lack of adequate security, especially late at night, remains a concern.

Lively bar in the heart of Soho. The live music is amazing

I always liked this place, very good price, fast service, it has 3 floors and a terrace at the top, the food menu is good Live music 🎶 totally recommended

if you're in Chinatown, don't bother. The place looks nice and has a good menu but the food was overdone and tasteless, hard to chew and took 45 minutes because they were prioritizing and event upstairs and so the food was cold waiting on the pass. Staff stand around and chat instead of taking your order and it cost basically a fiver for a glass of lemonade. Loud acoustic performance of old old pop songs if that's your vibe, so loud you can't hear the person next to you so everyone's shouting.

They never heard of Beer Mexican way.. and instead of putting a shot of lemon they put sweet lemon juice, did not apologize for that and expected full paymen. Guess that rendered them this review.

Decent gaff, with live music and reasonable drinks price wise. Staff are mostly good too.

Great space for a break from the busy area outside....

The two drinks we ordered were not good (gin and tonic and Cuba Libre), the beers are OK. The rum that was used was not rum, it was Southern Comfort in a bottle of Havana Club... Not worthy of a pub of this renown!

My favorite pub in London! Live music every day, great music, cheap beer. After 10 pm the value of the Pint increases.

Absolute rip off lmao. Over 9 quid for a peroni. I got scammed. It was my fault for not asking prices. Don’t make the same mistake

Tajmira at reception was amazing.. Really liked her behaviour.. wanna come back again

Áine is the best!!!! Thank you for an amazing night!

Good food and I liked the atmosphere there. Plenty of choice to drink too

Aine unreal staff she was so friendly!! What a place. Highly recommend

Staff were so polite, the service was great and fast. Can’t wait till my next visit.

I have to say that one bloke in particular really makes this place stand out from the rest. His name is Reece Chana. Anytime I come into O'Neills, he ensures I get the best possible service. This has led to the creation of some wonderful memories which I would not trade for the world. Truly amazing stuff.

My family and I stopped for beers and snacks (chips and garlic bread) for my grandson, who was still hungry after lunch. The bar service was fast for a busy Saturday, the food a bit slower but OK. I love this place, I hadn't been for a few years.

amazing service! will be definitely back!

Had an amazing at O’Neills last night the staff were very helpful and polite

The shoe lady is sooo great!!!!!!!

The food was great, staff were fantastic, will be back.

Only came in for a few drinks with a couple of mates. Gosia was really nice and went the extra mile to make sure we had a good time, very friendly girl. Will definitely be coming back soon.

The atmosphere was electric. Service was fantastic!!!

We really liked the music and dinner was good.

Time I spent here was incredible, my server miss Shoushylla made me the best cocktail ever! Also food was tasty

Amazing bands and good beer as always! Friendly staff

Aine and Parth were the best fun, cant wait to come see them again

Nice service. We love this pub.

I love Oneils. All staff was very good and good and also the mangers. Thank you oneils

Ellie was really helpful and a great atmosphere in the pub!

It's been years since I was in a pub/club where you stick to the floor with every step. Excellent security system upon entry but then service is subpar. Can't believe I paid £10 entry+

Drunk people are bothering you. Security is very poor. It is not a place you can go with your loved ones. Think again…

You can eat something, but it's more for drinking. Poor food, they don't serve drinks at the table.

Just went in just to kill a bit of time. Sat and had few pints. Didn't realise there was a live band, which is great. Love a good live action. Stayed longer than expected. Cool place.

I love this place. Great music, great people, and great workers

Amazing place!!! 10/10 would go back again

This was an amazing night, ratio was perfect and the security were so nice

Terrible experience. Their app was not working so my order was sent to their branch nearby. The staff admitted that the app had a bug that day that they were aware of, but they wouldn't provide the drinks or refund us as "it's policy". In the end we all left and went to their branch nearby, the staff there was much more professional... didn't take much to be fair. Wrote to management the day after and they confirmed that this is their policy even though they were aware the issue was on their side. Truly baffling.

Adam is amazing!! He’s deserves a raise!

Fun time! Went for comedy, stayed for the live music which was a good vibe. Very loud, so probably best to go during quieter time if you are looking to have a conversation. Also drinks are pretty expensive, but maybe because it was central ldn

Everything was great, amazing service from Kevin and loved the food! Blonde lady was very nice as well

Lovely pub, food is good and live music really brings in the crowds-Fabulous

Quite dark inside but nice and cosy when it's raining, very nice cocktails at reasonable prices compared to most of London.

Disgusting customer service. When I lived in London, I visited this establishment probably upwards of 100 times as it was my favourite bar. Some friends and myself went there last night for a good dose of nostalgia, only for me to get kicked out after 30 minutes. The reason? The doorman claimed he recognised me from years ago being involved in a fight which is simply untrue. He claimed he had perfect memory and was absolutely certain it was me, but also said that he had never seen my friend in his life, despite the fact that he also spent years visiting O'Neil's, often with me. Two managers both had nothing to say and fully trusted the doorman, maybe they should start managing, rather than allowing their employees to dictate them with incorrect information.

Paddy was the most helpful, super friendly, a great night

Paddy is sooo helpful and lovely gave us all the best night out in London!!

Tajmira is amazing. I truly loved her service. wanna come again

Live music till 12..ish..a great place to be chilli out...lovely security guys .....

It was more ordinary than I expected, but I wanted to go again at night.

It was more ordinary than I expected, but I wanted to go again at night.

Pints were £8.50p live music was good, not over crowded, nowhere to sit, boring same music, everyone is Brazillian!

Went here for a club night the other day. Some dude groped me but the staff were so brilliant about it they immediately threw him and all of his friends out and then checked up on me to make sure I was okay. This has also happened to my friend before and they handled it the same way. Not many places in London can say they have this level of respect for the women in their bars literally love it here I come almost every weekend ❤️❤️

We went here for the arsenal v Tottenham game, lots of beers not great with the Cider choices unfortunately. We had the same small plates to share some of which were very tasty, we had five plates for 25 pounds which was decent value for central London. The place had a friendly atmosphere and the staff were polite and helpful. The location was very good as well. We will definitely be coming back again to watch the football, loads of TV screens around the pub

Had my first and only proper British Meal. Tried the Steak and Guiness pie with a puff pastry crust and peas and mashed. Steak was tender and everything was very tasty. Good cider as well.

Amazing atmosphere and great people!

Really good fun staff lovely and good music

Staff are fantastic and Adam is a top bloke

Staff are fantastic especially adam absolute legend

Great guys at the front! Excellent music set as well!

Literally the worst bar I’ve ever been to

Nice spot with good live music but it is expensive.

A decent spot to grab a drink. Live music whilst we were there, and the band playing was decent, though arguably was quite loud for the time of day. Many patrons would've been there shortly after work, however could barely talk to one another. Later on fine, but earlier in the evening could argue it wasn't needed to be so loud.

Quality establishment, would recommend To anyone comping to London

I can't say anything about the food, but the atmosphere of the place is great. It's worth stopping by and resting for a while while exploring London.

It was incredible, a friend recommended it to me and the truth is that the music and the atmosphere are wonderful. There is something for all types of musical tastes and it does not disappoint. Now I also recommend it 100%.

Great beer choice, love the meantime lager

The Saho Chinese area in London is a beautiful and nice area, but do not go there late at night, it is not safe

Good food, fast service and atmosphere great. HOWEVER, clearing plates away while some of the group are still eating is very rude. Several places do try this, but usually asking one colleague not to do it is enough. Yet we had 4 attempts to clear plates while others in our party were eating. This would unacceptable in a large party, worse when only six of us... We had to spend time explaining that it isn't appropriate to clear plates while other are mid-meal, time and time again. This tainted what was otherwise a great experience.

Paddy was a slay daddy king$$$ so helpful Give this man a raise

Paddy Patel was really friendly

Excellent service and experience. great night. Paddy was amazing

This is a really fun pub that we frequent often! Amazing beers on tap, especially the Guinness. Definitely need to go when there is a live band performance, it will make your experience even better!

Security at the front door were super polite & helpful, Live bands are awesome!!

great place to visit we was well looked after and such a great vibe!

Please be careful. This is nothing to do with the pub at all. My 20 year old son who was travelling for the first time from over seas was there drinking with his mate. When he went to get more drinks he was taken out side at knife point drugged and then had all of his money and cards taken from him. The bar didn’t seem too care at all

Didn't eat here so can't comment on the food but had a great few hours in here catching up with a friend. Service was great and very friendly bar staff. Lots of indoor seating too so no problem finding somewhere to sit even on a Sunday afternoon

Paddy was unbelievable, so friendly and helpful! Would recommend!

This is the most beautiful bar in the world!!! Paddy and the employees were the most sweet people in the world and he especially deserves all the tips and praise in the country♥️♥️ Will be returning

Best place ever!!!!!!! My man Paddyz. The best!!!

Alright place to go nothing special. Really disappointed in the security. I lost my bag and they just laughed and go sturdy

Good atmosphere, good service but drinks horrifically expensive. Live bands are generally great quality

Great pub to go to, definitely recommend coming here.

Rip off. Don't sell beer in pints, but charge the same! The plastic 'after 7pm' containers we were drinking from did not look, feel or last like a normal pint, and i wasn't the only one who thought that. Couple that with the miserable barman who thinks an inch and a half of froth is a fair measure, would you write a good review? When I asked him to top it up to proper measure, he 'threw a strop'!

Popped in to watch Euros ... Chose this spot because it's smack in the centre of heavy tourist foot traffic. I was not let down. There was an excellent atmosphere as many Spanish people were also there tooting and celebrating. I just a few ciders and some chicken wings. But I have eaten many times in the past when I just want reliable pub food amidst the hundreds of choices within a short walk. Prices are reasonable considering it's in the middle of Chinatown.

The bartender Dani was amazing and such a bright soul, we had an amazing time watching the Euro games at this pub. Everyone was absolutely lovely and drinks are very reasonably priced. Can't wait to come again!!

This place is busy most nights due to its tourist environment. So if you want a night out with loud music, then this place is for you. O'Neills is also decent for watching sports, but I'm not sure they venture past football, rugby, and Irish sports.

Bury me at Oneills. I love this place and will come back here until I’m old and grey.

Lovely Sunday roast beef & chilled cider Thanks

It was quiet but early in the day. zthe staff were very helpful and service was good.

The best night out! Came here with a group of friends for a celebration, service was excellent, the team were amazing, honestly would recommend this pub as an outstanding venue for a night out! We will definitely be back again! Thank you for an amazing time!

Tajmira the front door lady is amazing. Want to come 100 times in this pub

Stopped in to watch UEFA match (England v Denmark). Great crowd, plenty of beers on tap and service was very good.

I love this place! Always a good time.

Best bar in London - great pint of Guinness !! And super friendly staff

Oneils. Best place to go out in London. They are awesome. Must!!!!

Absolutely brilliant night out. Arrived quite late in the night. Around 12:45 entry was quicker than expected even though there was a queue security was tight but efficient and kind. Prices for drinks are wholly reasonable and just a good place to enjoy London night life.

Great atmosphere with live music Great location, nice and rustic. You should take this with you when visiting London.

Wanted to go for a pint, had my backpack searched by the bouncer and I had a sandwich in there I hadn't eaten at lunchtime still in there in the packet and was told I wasn't allowed in because "they sell food." People go to pubs just to drink also, didn't make sense to me. I told him I just wanted to go in for a pint and I wasn't planning to eat it inside. Not a good reason in my opinion.
