O'Neill's Wardour Street

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.

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.
