We ate on the way to the WB studios. Something quick and pretty good. It must be fun to go for drinks at night since they have dart boards and some other games. You order at the bar and pay, you choose a table, you give the number to the waitress and they serve you at the table. We liked it a lot, we would return 😉

This O'Neills is conveniently situated next door to the main train station in Watford. You would have thought that the owners would have thrown a bit of cash at it by now as the building is looking a bit tired, and the less said about the state of the gents toilets..... the better. Service is great and you're spoilt when it comes to sport on TV, but they really need to give the building a bit of a spruce , especially the toilets. Good selection on tap by the way.

We only came to O'Neills to play darts at Arrowsmiths for my husbands birthday, so can't comment on food. Ash served us our drinks and when it was time to play darts Ash talked us through how to play and got us started. Throughout the 90 minutes, Ash came to check everything was OK with us and if we wanted any more drinks. Very attentive and polite. Overall we had a lovely experience and would recommend going here. And thank you Ash for looking after us.

A late booking to watch England rugby & snacks for my son's birthday. If time, we were also going to try some darts. We had a great time, table right in front of the TV, snacks ordered with the bar and provided promptly and tasted great. After the rugby we asked about space in Arrowsmiths and a lovely young lady sorted us a booth. We had a great time. Would definitely recommend Arrowsmiths and O'Neill's as an excellent venue. Hoping to return again soon

We called early today and they guaranteed that they had the match on : Real Madrid - Barcelona. We purchased more than £50 drinks and food to be ready for the match. At 7.45pm they channel wasn't on, at 8.10pm the game wasn't still on and the guy we spoke to was extremely rude, saying, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't promise you anything. This kind of service and behaviour want get you good customers back. Shame because I like your chain but this experience changed my mind. Poor and disrespectul service. Can't trust O Neil's anymore.

Oct24- didn't eat. Used car park and staff friendly when I dropped something and went back to collect. Apr22-The food is good and if ordered on QR code at table arrives timely. App can be a bit temperamental. All the vegan/veggie tapas unavailable (except chips) and staff said "I don't know you'll have to ask the shift manager I'm just a team member" when asked any question. Veggie sausages main not bad at all, sadly not fresh veg but packet/frozen steamed with it. Curly fries a nice additonal.choice. Macaroni cheese wasn't bad. Fish n chips ok. Prices not too bad at all. Staff mostly surly and slow. The Shift Mgr was the only one who smiled and looked like they/she wanted to be there. Slightly put us off staying but we were there with friends who had a young kid being babysat and needed to stay local. Busy for a Wednesday early Eve to night. £65 for 4 mains, one starter and 3 alcoholic & 1 soft drink. Good value

I was given food that was frozen the middle. When I mentioned it to the server he was very rude about it and cynically asked ‘if I wanted my food ‘extra hot’ maybe? It’s giving me a serious health concern when they don’t cook the food through and don’t even care! When they gave me replacement the waiter again said now it was ‘extra hot’ this how! Patronising and disrespectful behaviour! I suggest serious training to staff and ‘chef’

Myself and my wife went here today for lunch. We walked in and spoke to the staff about ordering food then sat down at a table. To then be told by the same staff member a few minutes later they were not taking anymore food orders because in his words “something was going on in Watford” and then someone else was placing a food order as we were leaving. Absolute joke of a place. If zero stars was possible I’d have put that

The best pub to eat and drink in Watford. The beer is great, I asked them to recommend some and they gave me several to try. You have to order at the bar. The burger is one of the best I've ever had and the bangers and mash are great too. The music and the atmosphere is great even to go with children, we were there with our daughter. I would go again without a doubt

It's okay. A lively pub and is great for drinks & meeting up with friends. Food was awful, truly. We had 2 margaritas which came out quick & looking very anaemic and were tasteless. Tables were sticky which I guess is expected but still pretty grim! Stick to the booze - don't bother with food.

Oneills in Watford offers a fantastic mix grill that's both delicious and satisfying. The meats are well-seasoned and cooked to perfection, making it a standout dish. The service is impressively speedy, ensuring that you don't have to wait long to enjoy your meal. Overall, it's a great spot for both the food quality and efficient service.

1 star because I can’t give less. This is unacceptable. We arrived at 8:57pm asking if they were still serving food and they said yes. Just the time to look at the menu, we want to order at 9:02 and « we are not serving anymore ». You cannot be serious ! why didn’t you tell me we had less than 2 minutes to order or to order right now ? Shame on you

Pub was run like a youth club. Bartenders swearing right next to my children. When the menu says from the grill it should say burnt from the grill. Fire alarm went off and instead of saying can you leave we were shouted at to get out. No egg on the mixed grill but probably saved me from food poisoning.

Booked an area here but we really wish we’d gone elsewhere. Not helped but the rowdy football fans, immediately greeted by being ignored alongside another lady as we were stood in the wrong place at the bar, the pub was absolutely filthy throughout and the toilets looked like they’d been completely trashed with the hand dryers hanging off the wall and broken toilets. Absolutely would not recommend coming here for any special occasion. The only good thing was one of the bouncers who was on was hilarious!

We went for our staff Christmas night out (yes in April, pub life!) and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Josh was our assigned server for the evening and nothing was too much trouble. We played interactive darts which was brilliant. There is a switch in your booth for you to signal to get service (turns a light above your head green), and Josh was over straight away to help. He gave us a thorough tour of how to use the games, and how to sort out the main 2 issues (darts not registering and missing the board). The whole team were smiley and friendly, and happy to help any way they could. We had a buffet which came out hot and beautifully presented. They even gave us takeaway boxes for the left over food. They were able to accommodate to my partner with a severe allergy, explaining how the allergen guide worked and even asking the kitchen if things were cooked in the same oil etc. Cannot recommend these guys anymore!! Thank you!

The doormen ruined our night! We were having a laugh all night. That was until the doormen decided to get jealous cos he was having to work. The doormen at this establishment instigate problems when there are not any. Be aware of the bald senior door man. He leads the kids and they just go along with him. Probably scared of him. Beware everyone if you visit this pub at the weekend when they have adult children on the doors.

Straight off the train is easily a 5 min walk to the hotel. Super clean. Staff were / are brilliant, very friendly from cleaners, breakfast staff, front desk to bar area. Great for Harry Potter. Bath rooms well equipped. Cozy rooms. Would 100% stay here again, even if going into London for the weekend.
