    Had a lovely trip here today, Food was amazing, and can't really argue the price for the quality. Customer service was top notch we were served by a lovely young woman with coloured hair, I think her name was Megan, very polite and welcoming. Can't wait for our next visit here!

    Awesome friendly staff, nice & peaceful place for a good lunch. Will definitely recommend the Fillip cheese steak sandwich 🥪 & the fried chicken wrap. Really reasonable prices

    Called in for a drink during a shopping trip. While drinking could not help but notice the food being served which all looked good so we stayed for food. All food was very good and a good price, would call in again if ever back in Leicester.

    Friendly and good food... So why only 4 stars you may ask?? The barmaid took my order and asked if I had any allergies. A great start. The thing I ordered should be the most popular on the menu. The "Dirty Animal" burger. The burger was exquisite. The right amount of fat/meat ratio you should have (possibly thanks to the beef rib meat). The chips were light and fluffy. Perfectly cooked, although not as good as my wife's home made. There came a metal tub with shards of carrott, cabbage and red onion (see pictures). This was very much not needed. The burger had salad on it. If this was a slaw, and kept refrigerated until after it left the pass (basically kept out of heat and with some moisture) then would be fine. Gave feedback to staff, who were on the same page as me completely. Glad to see feedback taken in such a positive manor. Will be here again.

    Wow the burgers were incredible , I asked for no sauce or salad and they got it perfect , the Mac and cheese was delicious as was the beef brisket , bacon and burger patty. 10/10.

    The toilets here are pretty terrible 🚽, but the vibe is awesome. You can bust some moves on the dance floor, enjoy live tunes 🎶, and even unleash your inner rockstar with some karaoke 🎤. The drinks 🍷 might hit the wallet a bit, but hey, it’s all part of the experience. Just a heads-up, they’ve got a bouncer too. It’s a wild mix of good times and pricey sips, but totally worth it!

    We came to watch the six nations and then play some darts. Couldn’t recommend O’Neils/Arrowsmiths any higher! We had an exceptional experience!! Atmosphere - perfect Guinness - perfect Screens - perfect Arrowsmiths darts experience - perfect Pizza - perfect Other drinks - perfect Tamia and Lauren - sensational Chap who kept coming to our table (pre darts) to make sure we had enough drinks (sorry didn’t catch his name) - sensational Could not have asked for more!

    Can’t recommend this place enough. Came here for an impromptu date night with my partner and we had such an amazing night. Cheap drinks, good vibes and a great time playing darts (only £9 for 90 mins which is waaaaaay cheaper than interactive darts nearby). Most fun we’ve had in a while.

    Chelsea is always a delight and provides the bestest service when we come in regularly. She is a real asset to the team and always makes us feel welcome. Neil is okay

    Reserved a table to watch an England game. Entered the venue and instantly got shown to our table. Staff were very friendly. We went up to the bar to order a couple of drinks and then ordered the remainder of our meal and drinks at the table. BECKY was incredibly accommodating, showed us to our table, and welcomed us. Staff are lovely and friendly, atmosphere is good. After a perfect amount of time, Becky brought our food & drinks out, just in time for the game. We feel like we have finally found our local. We will be visiting again! 👌🏼

    Booked a table to watch the Champions League Final. Was very grateful to the management team who booked me on table 1 as per my request. Could not fault the staff who were fantastic from the moment I arrived. Service was exemplary from James and Ian and the rest of the staff. I and my friends had a fantastic night and are already planning our next watch in this superb boozer!

    Great place to have a drink and some quick food. Service is very good and you can just use the app to get things delivered to your table, all of which was very reasonably priced. The staff were accommodating and put the football on the TV near where I was sat with no problem.

  • 5/5 Tracy L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely pub excellent service food was spot on we even thanked the chef as he was out clearing tables and staff polite well mannered . I would compare it to a Michelin star restaurant as food n service were beyond expectations. Would recommend to everybody. We are going back today and then anytime we are in city centre.

  • 5/5 Rosemary W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cheap prices for drinks together with a chilled out but fun atmosphere. Watched an incredible live band who entertained us with a variety of genres. Excellent night out

  • 1/5 Pixie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Last time I will be visiting sadly... usually friendly and attentive staff, not yesterday, rude and disinterested staff, on a very quiet afternoon, stood around gossiping and reluctant to serve or move along the bar to speak to customers. The whole pub stank like the mop was left damp and mouldy and still sloshed about before opening. The food was poor, extremely dry burrito and elderly rice. What a shame, used to be a fail safe option in town but has tainted my opinion of this place and will not bother again...

    Lovely pub, fantastic food, even better as have a baby changing facility, great service, got some great lunch deals on if you want something cheap and cheerful for lunch. Nice place to meet up with friends, definitely be coming back 👍

  • 5/5 kevin m. 3 months ago on Google New
    So useful to be able to book a table for a large group online, I'd booked for 10 people, we had another 3 on the day, so popped in on the morning and let them know, it was all set up for us when we arrived. Super staff and super lunch

  • 5/5 Dean M. 3 months ago on Google New
    We had an amazing night going on the new interactive darts, service was brilliant & the food was great too. Place looked amazing 😍

  • 5/5 Joshdeep B. 3 months ago on Google New
    We come to O’Neill’s regularly, but now they have opened Arrowsmiths darts, we won’t want to leave! It is great fun, and the service we received today from Mat was top notch.

  • 5/5 Jay 7 months ago on Google
    Great place, wicked lovely staff. Great pint of Guinness for a reasonable price for a city and the food is wicked! 10 out of 10 for me!🤘

  • 5/5 Dan H. 7 months ago on Google
    Had a lovely time at O'Neills watching England qualify for the final of the women's World Cup. Had wonderful food and the service was sensational! Thank you to Ian and Megan for the excellent service and changing some elements of the order. Phenomenal service as always! Happy to be a regular!

  • 5/5 M. M. 1 year ago on Google
    O'Neills was lovely to be in. The Saturday nights there don't disappoint. I enjoyed my time there. The staff were friendly and we simple enjoyed our pints with friends who had come in from Cambridge. They intend to make a visit of their own if I am not around. 👌👌👌

  • 4/5 Guerrilla N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location on the city centre back streets, lovely known as "The Lanes." Plenty of seating both indoors and out, lots of wood in the decor, friendly staff and decent beer are all great reasons to visit this well established and rightfully respected establishment. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Melody E. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent value for money. Great tasting food. 2 meals plus drinks £15. Good friendly service 👌 Jacob and Bernard.

  • 1/5 Christina H. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited this pub yesterday with my husband to have a meal off the £6.50 lunch menu. I ordered the sausage and mash which I was told would cost me £8.50 as I didn't want one of the drinks listed as part of the meal deal. Now if I had been told I would have to pay a extra £2.50 for nothing I would not have ordered but u was only told when I was given the bill. Avoid this pub, there are plenty nicer places in Leicester that serve much nicer food at a fair price

  • 5/5 Rebecca C. 1 year ago on Google
    First of all, The staff were very kind and caring taking in consideration of my coconut allergy and checking to make sure the onion rings contained none of it. Secondly ,The Meat feast pizza was delicious unfortunately I couldn't risk the onion rings so I traded for the most tender soft lightly cooked calamari strips with delicious aioli sauce. Me and my mum will definitely come back again.

  • 1/5 SAYALI G. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance is great but the service is below average. I had a coupon for a free birthday drink along with my mains and the staff had no clue how to work it out. The staff who catered to us was rude and the free drink was not made properly, wasn't even served in the right glass. The manager had to come in to punch the order for the drink as the other staff were clueless and he didn't even look at us, leave alone apologizing for the delay.

  • 4/5 Sue B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good value at £6.50 for sausage and mash with veg, plus an extra £1 for a glass of wine. Only downside was that the barman refused to take my £10 note as it had a tiny tear in it! Spent it in a shop afterwards no problem.

  • 5/5 Neil B. 11 months ago on Google
    Atmosphere is always great in here. Fantastic service, good drinks, and reasonably prices too. Great for watching sport and seeing live music too. Top boozer! 👌😊🍻

  • 5/5 Ian S. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Piergiorgio M. V. 10 months ago on Google
    Very nice Place, i well know this chain, and i love to go here to Watch football and rugby match.. have many screens so they can provide different options, strictly recomended 😁

  • 5/5 Ian H. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are efficient, enthusiastic and friendly. The atmosphere was good with many big screens to watch the sport. Beer prices, like so many other pubs, seem a little high.

  • 5/5 veronica 8 months ago on Google
    We didn't have food so unable to rate, menu looked appetising though 😋 nice large pub plenty seating and lots of TV screens for sports etc 😀

  • 5/5 Pushpa M. 9 months ago on Google
    The food is fresh and you get good value for money, a good portion size. I came today for lunch and my meal was very nice. Something new I tried here. The service is professional and the bar staff are very polite everytime I come. Atmosphere is pleasant and quiet relaxed at lunch time. O'Neil as a whole is nice traditional pub.

  • 5/5 Wendy A. 8 months ago on Google
    An additional meal was mistakenly added to our order. Our server came to the table, admitted the error and our card was credited. Appreciated the honesty. Food was very nice thank you Summer and Dan.

  • 5/5 Adam P. 8 months ago on Google
    You know what you're getting here. Good atmosphere, no trouble (from what I've seen) decent beer and a good laugh. Food has always been nice when I've had it, so no complaints from me.

    Thank you Holli, Bernard amd Khalil, had a great time. I came in with my daughters to watch the cricket, the guys were very accommodating and to my surprise, child friendly, I wasn’t sure at first but we were made very welcome. A nice table near the big screen to watch the cricket. If you are venturing around town looking for a lovely, friendly place to have a bite to eat and watch some sport, this is your place. Thank you team Sunday

    Visited twice on Saturday 27th Jan. Up for a football game. I was with family looking for a less rowdy bar for something to eat and drink. Saw O'Neills and walked in. Large selection of drinks and a good food selection. There's a darts room, large and spacious. We managed to grab a table for 4. We ordered from the table. We shared a large pizza and chips. Just enough for three. The bar was a mix of shoppers and football fans with a really pleasant atmosphere. After the game we returned and by chance sat at the same table. We ordered a number of sharers and drinks at the table. The food was spot on and very nice. When I visit Leicester again, I will definitely head for here

    We went to O’Neills for a few work drinks, and we noticed they had a new darts area open. We decided to go and have a play and it was great fun! Really good value for money and the staff were really helpful.
