O'Neill's York

Ah, O'Neill's York – it's one of those spots that just pulls you in with its inviting Irish charm right in the heart of the city. From what I've gathered from the buzz around, it's got this lively atmosphere that's spot on for catching up with friends over a pint or cheering on the big game with all those screens dotted about. The staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really adds to the feel-good factor. Drinks are a highlight too, with a solid selection that keeps things affordable and exciting, especially if you're into your ciders or lagers. That outdoor courtyard is a nice bonus on a sunny day, giving you a bit of fresh air without losing the pub's cosy vibe. But let's be straight, it's not without its downsides – no cask ales means it might not satisfy the real ale enthusiasts, and without any bar games, it could feel a touch quiet if you're after more entertainment. The food's mentioned on their site, but not many have chimed in about it, so I'd say give it a go but temper your expectations. Overall, it's a solid choice for a good time in York, especially if you're up for music, sport, and that classic Irish craic – just pop in and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed!
