Reviews for Waxy O'Connor's
The first thing you notice about Waxy O Connors is that its huge. There is even a tree inside it. Its quite popular amongst the tourists and the young Soho crowd, and as a result its very very crowded. There are few bars with plenty of drink options (Irish and otherwise). They do show rugby games sometimes, but last time i went it was not on. The staff are friendly but the bouncers at front are strange ( you will asked to open your bag)
Overall, if you want peace of mind, stay away. if you like to get in the mood with the crowd, Waxy may be your type. For tourists coming to london, i would definitely recommend it.
I have been here with friends on a Friday evening - the pub is huge and resembles more a club than a pub (barring the absence of a dancefloor). The place is so vast it's easy to get lost in, so if you've arranged to meet with friends try and meet them outside, as the mobile phone reception is not good in the lower decks of the pub). I had a fun time here and it's a great place to rub shoulders - literally - with other young student types, although the popularity of the place can mean it gets uncomfortably crowded at times. The food is also good, nachos were delicious and a very generous portion. Recommended.
The Waxy O´Connor´s is a pub that is located very near to Piccadilly Circus. The decoration of the pub is amazing: it has several rooms with different ambiences, I really like the forest one.
They have a good selection of beers and food and sometimes (like San Patricks, 4th of July) they have special theme food.
Usually is very crowded and the doormen are a bit rude asking to see your bag and to take out your cap, OMG it´s a pub not a club!
But in general the pub is really nice but should be avoided on weekends because is very busy.
fantastic food and drinks experience - always a laugh and indie music completes the atmosphere.
Waxy O'Connor's has 4 unique bars covering 6 levels which are linked together by a maze of staircases and passages along with the white tree in the centre. Always a great place to have a drink in.
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Great place to pull up a pint and watch the sport OR to watch the decent crowd. The tree growing up in the back part of the bar resulted in my meeting a really fit bird!
All in all, an ace place!
Cheers,
Sean
I don't like Irish theme pubs as a rule but this one has two things I liked about it - (a) it's enormous, and (b) after I lost my hat one Saturday night one of the barstaff went to a lot of effort the next day to retrieve it for me. Oh, and it's got big screens for sport as well. You could do a lot worse if you're in the area.
