More theme park than pub, this cavernous, never-ending pub is truly enormous. Multi-storied and multi-roomed with two entrances, if you plan to meet someone here, you'll need GPS co-ordinates, or at least a compass. A full-sized carved tree in the middle of the pub adds to the Tolkein-esque air of the place. Still, it does serve a mean pint of (rather rare nowadays) Beamish and a decent enough choice of pub grub meals. Due to its size and location it attracts plenty of tourists and pre-club drinkers, according it a noisy and lively atmosphere. You'll also find them promoting any event under the sun, so Australia Day, Arthur's Day - even hurling events are shown, all with the idea to get you drinking. You'll also find a regular rota of live bands here. Whether or not you like such an environment should dictate if you give this place a wide birth. Overall though, fun, loud but as authentically Irish as an inflatable leprechaun.

Visited this place twice. Besides the pokey atmosphere of the place the bar service was poor like the staff had more importance stuff to do. Hello... your job is to provide a service! The manager should be shot and the staff sacked. Won't ever visit this place again.

How to find the Waxy O'Connors pub

From Piccadilly Circus: Take the Shaftesbury Avenue exit from the station and head up the road. Take the first right into Rupert Street and the pub is ahead on the left. From Leicester Square: Go into the Square itself and head toward the Swiss Centre (you'll know it by the bells hanging on the outside which go off every hour). Go past it and across Wardour Street. Rupert Street is the next right and the pub is just down on the right.
