O'Neills Pub

This place is a standard beer/sports bar. It's actually more inviting than it appears from the outside. The food and drinks are pretty cheap, and it looks like they have pretty good specials. The food was all pretty good. Their chicken sandwich was actually a lot better than I was expecting, and they have crinkle fries that were pretty good.

I've given this place three tries. I travel a lot so when a place is recommended I'll check it out.  The first time the food was horrible, if someone thinks it's great, they really need to get out more.  The prices are fine, but maybe we just had a bad chef that day.

My biggest issue is the rudeness and deplorable behavior of the bartenders.  Three times over the past two years, and it's still the same.  The first time we sat at the bar for almost 15 minutes while some yahoo flirted with the guy across the bar, then hastily and with a BAD attitude poured our drinks.  She made mine wrong, used the wrong liquer in fact and still wanted to charge me.  So we left.

The second time, some long haired old bartender made the visit almost the same.  NO ONE was in there, but for some reason it was just WAY TO    DIFFICULT to pour a beer and make a whiskey sour.  If you hate your job, find a new one.  She was so rude I vowed to NEVER go back.  

Then last night I was out with a friend and she wanted to pop in.  Besides  another RUDE bartender who lied to me about my drink,  she made it wrong, was rude to my friend when she asked for a lime, and in general should not be a bartender....there was like 4 other employees just floating around.....we had to wait about 10 minutes before being acknowledged.  She couldn't handle a bar with like 10 people, seriously.

at about 11:45 this fat guy comes out rings a bell and screams we need to drink em out, and get the hell out.  This is not a college bar.....it was not called for.  Then the twit of the bartender finally asks the people next to us if they'd like another drink.  Ummmmm they've been waiting for 20 minutes, and now they have, after the time you get the drinks, 5 minutes to guzzle them down.

Waste of time, just don't go there.  I have found some great irish pubs in Lexington and this place just needs to go away.

Great burgers and sandwiches, and typical pub fare like fish and chips and shepherd's pie. They have just installed a bunch of tables with a tap in each one so you will be able to refill your pitcher right from your table. Good selection of beers, and lots of big screen TV's.
