O’Neill’s — Restaurant in Lexington

Me and my wife went there to watch Zach Attack the band. It was a good venue other than the fact that when ordering a drink at the back bar. I ordered a Grey Goose Vodka and Soda and watched the bartender make the drink the entire time. I will not let anyone fix me a drink without me watching them fix it, even if they don’t know it. He put a cheap vodka in my drink and came over handed it to me and tried to charge me. I said that is not Grey Goose, he said it was. I said it was not, and he got mad and I said I want Grey Goose. He is running a scam! Charging people for the good stuff and pocketing for the big ticket item. My wife told me that he did not ring her up. I found that odd. He is ripping this bar off. He then called me a name or two. He told me to leave his bar! I said no. He jumped out from out behind the bar like i was some type of terrorist or something and acted like he was going to fight me and put his hands all over me pushing me toward the door with the rest of the bouncers. I am floored. Here I am, only having 1 drink, only questioning a bartender for trying to rip me off. He’s busted, so he gets in defense mode and kicks me out. The difference is, I’m not 25 anymore, I’m in my late 40s and I’m not going to fight back like they want so they can look justified in their thievery. I believe many are in on the act. I noticed that he should have been sent home immediately, and me not been kicked out of the bar. He should be fired for sure, as he is a thief, and is stealing from this establishment. Who knows how many are in on the scam? I own 10 businesses, and this is classic defense on how employees behave toward customers, and managers when they are caught. No rationale. He’s caught, and this bar will suffer in numbers as long as he is around, and who knows how many others are in on the act. I suspect many more. Where there is one there are many. It was so obvious how they all took to his defense, and here I am being attacked by thuggery in a Lexington bar...

(From 1st time i went here summer 22)... Seemed like a nice spot to watch games, multiple tvs including large big screens. I've heard the wings are amazing but I did not get to try them. Bartender was friendly. The crowd was very diverse. Prices are reasonable. I've only been one time but I would definitely go back..

(After going at least once or twice a week for the past seven or eight months) I Go there all the time now and it's one of the best spots in Lexington for food, good service, and strong drinks. Bartenders are great and they might just have the best wings in Lexington Any bad reviews you see about this place is either because there was just some misunderstanding or because people are picky and like to give bad reviews or reviews based on their current mood. Everything on the menu is great as I've had almost every item and you won't find a better bartending crew and better service than O'Neill's Pub. They have great throwback bands from the '70s '80s and '90s all the time. For anyone looking for a peaceful spot to chill in the evening or if you're looking for some fun night life, good food and don't want to put up with a bunch of college kids this...

Second and last time at O’Neill’s. First time we went to see a band we love and since we arrived late then and couldn’t get a table, we decided to get there super early today so we had enough time to find a nice spot to enjoy the show and have a bite to eat. Upon arrival, a staff member told us to seat ourselves, and we went around the place to find a table for 5. By the time we made our mind and just sat at a table for 4 (all bigger tables were taken), the rest of our party arrived so we were trying to figure it out how to accommodate without bothering the staff or other customers. No one approached us to offer service, in spite of the fact that we were already seated and had been in there for over 30 minutes. It was before 6pm, and it was busy, but not packed. We ended up leaving, but I don’t think anyone noticed. We’re the kind of people that stays until the end when there’s live music -specially with a band like the one performing tonight- , so do the math: we arrived before 6, and we knew that we were staying until midnight, if not later, and we love beer. I don’t feel like returning or recommending...
