About This Pub
You know, when I popped into O'Neill's on Broad Street, it really hit the spot with that classic Irish pub feel – warm and inviting, perfect for a catch-up with mates. The food stands out as a highlight; folks are raving about the meals like fish and chips or smothered chicken with fresh coleslaw, and it's all so hearty and flavoursome that you'd be hard-pressed not to clear your plate. It's especially great for sporty types, with loads of screens making it easy to soak up the action and get swept up in the excitement. The team behind the bar are dead helpful too, keeping everything running smoothly even on packed nights, and they've got some cracking deals on drinks that add to the fun. On the flip side, though, it's not all perfect – I've heard a few grumbles about it feeling a bit nippy in places, which could put a damper on things if you're not dressed for it, and sometimes the tables don't get wiped down quickly, leaving a bit of a mess. Overall, with such a strong rating, it's a solid pick for a night out, but it's worth keeping those little niggles in mind so you can make the most of it.

Really wish I had taken a picture of the food...
It was amazing, so tasty, looked amazing on the plate and ate it all.
Fish & chips and smothered chicken with lovely coleslaw.
Compliments to the chef.
Best pub meal we've had in ages.
I went here to watch football and have a couple of drinks with my partner whilst our young son had a bite to eat. We were happy with the atmosphere and the service was fast even though it was really busy. We ordered via the qr code and drinks came quickly. Our son’s food was a very good portion size for a kids meal and tasted really nice. Lastly, the drinks and meals are priced very reasonably.
Had a brilliant time at O’Neill’s today watching the Liverpool match! The atmosphere was buzzing and it’s such a great spot for football fans—plenty of screens and everyone in high spirits. The staff were friendly and kept the drinks flowing, which made the day even better. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to give the toilets a bit of a refresh, but honestly, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Can’t wait to come back for the next big game—cheers for a top afternoon!
Popped in with family member to try out the meal and a drink offer. It was cold at the table we were sitting at, had to keep our scarfs on. Most of the tables including the one we sat at had people’s half drank drinks, tables wasn’t cleared or cleaned. I had to ask the bar woman and she cleared and cleaned our table promptly. I can’t fault the service. The food was tasty but not much to brag about. We had the bangers n mash(could have added more peas- the gravy was good 👍🏽) and gammon steak meal with egg(could have been presented better, the look like someone had cut of the egg white and left just the yolk) with two large glass of Diet Pepsi. The drinks selection was great, you get a good amount per glass.
The ladies toilets need urgent maintenance work. Toilet seats and door locks need looking into and again it was that cold you could see the steam coming from the toilet bowl after it was used😮
Good food and good service, little cold with the smoking area open out the back.
Plenty of option on the food menu which is quite tasty.
Match was on and there wasn’t much atmosphere.
