O'Neill's Liverpool — Restaurant in Liverpool

Visited quite early on Saturday wanting to find a good pub to settle down in for the rest of a super Sunday with loads of sports going on... We later left and found that Pub elsewhere.

Atmosphere was weird walking in, there were no staff to be seen and not many guests either. The music was on but only in the back area, but it was loud enough to drown any conversations had in the front bit too.

After walking up to the bar we saw the 5-6staff that were on to cater for the complete lack of guests (standing huddled by the end of the bar, clearly more interested in gossiping them serving). The gentleman behind the bar said that he could control TVs individualy and we choose to sit on a booth. With a private TV. We were looking trough the menus to find something to eat. As apparently none of the 6 staff on duty was a waiter preforming any kind of table service. We found 4menus but no serving times on them so it was hard to know which of them that was active. We had also seen a menu online for lunch. But this where no where to be seen. (I assume it starts at midday and by that point we were just about to leave, there was no information about service time on the website either just which days it was served)

We ordered two cappuccinos and a bloody mary. Coffee was appaling (no shock as it's not a coffee place nor has a espresso machine) the bloody Mary order got met with s - We don't do cocktails. So we got an BTL of coke (That wasnt chilled).

We then came up to ask if it would be possible to get the rugby on (as promised before) the answer was... Oh....errrmm.... Then the girl left not to come back for another 5min to and say that it didnt start until 2 and the will turn it on then. I asked if the TVs had speakers, she answered Yes, I followed with: so we can have the sound on? She answered: NO. Slightly shocked l asked if the sound would be on anywhere so we could move to that area. She said it will be on, somewhere. I again asked where and she said that it was fine where we sat. I think she must have been trying to make a joke?! Feeling uncomfortable, unwelcome and not willing to give these people more of our money we decided to move on to another bar.

Ended up at shooters, they were very nice, put the rugby on for us even though they didn't plan to show it and we were taken care of at our table...

My first and only visit, Tuesday 12th November 5pm. As I walked in I could not fail to notice the place virtually has wall to wall TV screens, good for sport or music channels, but no, playing the Sky News on every screen. Now call me old-fashioned but I like to go for a drink and a chat with my friends, perhaps look at a little sport or listen to background music not to be bombarded from every direction I turned to by the horrors of the world. Now on to the beer, they had between ten and fifteen pumps at the bar and virtually every one we asked for was not available. Eventually after about ten minutes of the poor young barmaid trying to get us drinks we had three pints, two lagers for my friends and a pint of Guinness for myself. The Guinness was dreadful (I am a Guinness drinker so I know good from bad) and my friends pints did not go down too well either. The whole experience was like the Cheese shop sketch from Monty Python only this was alcohol instead of cheese! Needless to say we didn't stop for a second drink and personally I will never go in the place again. Avoid this...

Visited on Wednesday 28 November. I ordered a gin and tonic and, as it was advertised as "Rum Wednesday," I asked for a Capt. Morgan and pepsi. Barmaid said £7.50 which appeared on the till. My wife asked if there was any lemon and the barmaid said she would go and see. She returned with a handful of lemon slices. I was about to pay when the till showed £9.25. The barmaid said she had forgotten to include the small bottle of Britvic tonic. When I tasted my drink it was diet or pepsi max. As I wanted ordinary full fat pepsi the barmaid replaced my drink. We found a seat only to find that she had replaced the diet pepsi with diet pepsi which completely ruined the rum for me. £9.25 for a single Capt Morgan with diet pepsi and a Gordons gin with a small bottle of tonic! In Wetherspoons I get Capt Morgan with pepsi and a Silent Pool gin with a large bottle of Britvic tonic for £3.98. The service is far superior and the lemon is hygienically served. Won't be going to...
