About This Pub
Ah, O'Neill's in Leicester, what a gem of a pub it is! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's got that authentic Irish charm that just draws you in, with a welcoming atmosphere where the good times flow as freely as the pints. Folks have raved about the staff – they're proper stars, always chatting away with a smile and going the extra mile, like when they handled an allergy query without a fuss or served up drinks promptly even on a hectic night. The food's a real highlight too; think hearty steaks cooked just right and brilliant fish finger sarnies that leave you wanting more, all without breaking the bank. It's brilliant for watching the big match or enjoying some live music, and there's even a darts area for a bit of fun. On the flip side, it does get rammed at peak times, so you might end up queuing for a table or waiting a tick for your order, and those varying opening hours could catch you out if you're not prepared. All in all, it's a solid choice for a memorable evening – I'd say give it a go if you're after a place that balances cracking hospitality with a dash of Irish craic, but maybe pop in midweek for a quieter vibe.

Date night with my wife turned out to be one of the best nights we have had in a long time.
We ordered a drink at the bar and the lady who served us spoke to us loud and clear, the smile on her face whilst serving us was very welcoming even though she was very busy.
We spotted the darts area and went to have a look.
Liam approached us and greeted us to have a look. He explained clearly what we needed to do, served our booth very promptly and even with him being so busy, he was very calm, attentive and had the biggest smile on his face.
Liam really made our date night relaxed and even chatted to us about our game with genuine interest.
Liam was a breath of fresh air, so lovely to see the level of commitment he has.
Looking forward to coming back very soon.
Thanks Liam
First venture out into Leicester.
We had a 90minute game of darts and our server Liam was excellent, drinks were promptly served and he was very polite and friendly with everyone including us. His customer service was on point and he was attentive, and delivered with a lovely smile.
Fantastic team player you have there.
Thankyou Liam
First time coming to O'Neill's today as we had a gift card to use. We will definitely be coming back. We came for lunch midweek and plenty of tables free and nice and quiet atmosphere. Brogan who served us was friendly and dealt with ours sons allergy really well, double checking ingredients and going the extra mile. The food was lovely! Thank you.
