Review of ONeills

10 Sep 07, 15:04

All sport all the time 4*

It's a chain pub, Boo! Hiss! Even worse, it's an Oirish chain pub. Well, yes, there's no getting away from that really and there are signs in gaelic and the obligatory Guiness memorabilia dotted around the place but it's usually quite dark inside so it's not hard to ignore. Thankfully it's also a very well-run pub. There are always plenty of people serving behind the bar, beer is good although there are no ales on tap and it's got about 6 screens showing sport. The sport coverage is its main selling point. Unlike most pubs in London, all the screens aren't locked on the same feed, so it can show different things at the same time. On international football days it manages to cover all of the home nations even though the games are being played simultaneously. They also post notices below the TVs telling you what match will be on that particular set. Hardly earth-shattering but amazingly something nowhere else seems to do.
