Had been here before and was a nice setting to come to for the unique interiors and average priced drinks, but last time I went the security guard here was rude, callous and sharp.
I was told to take out the contents of my two heavy backpacks (having come straight from work), which fair enough you're doing your job but then when I sighed and asked if I had to he instantly got angry and told me and my party of 6 that we weren't allowed in. Get better staff who know how to interact with other humans, other reviews support how horrible this guy is.

The 2 stars aren't so much for the overall bar but adding 5% charge on all payments at a bar feels like sharp practice. It's not obvious to customers that this is being done because buying a bottle of beer for example really doesn't necessitate an extra service charge. For food it's okay but for drinks it feels a bit of a rip off especially with bottles of lager or cider which don't take any effort to serve up. Great bar in so many other ways but transferring responsibility for staff costs onto customers which is what this kind of service charge thing is all about just doesn't sit well.

A security person asked me to leave the pub because I was with my backpack on. Even after the security check and after 2 hours enjoying the music, the security person thought that my backpack was disturbing people. I’ve brought over a 1000 people to this pub on business and it’s with great sadness that I’m saying that I won’t be coming back again.
Such a picky thing will cost the pub several thousand pounds as I won’t recommend my friends and business partners to go to this pub.
The pub may not feel it now, but the payoff will come.
Shame.

Shocking place can’t recommend. Guiness was okay and burger and chips was decent. However the young tall Irish barman on Wednesday 6th July was rude and insulting.
Overheard him slagging us off after we had been to bar. Don’t know what his problem is?
Had a sly word in the small barmaids ear on our next visit to the bar upon which we left soon after.
Not a pleasant experience…

Don’t bother with Waxys. Seriously. Got two pints of Guinness eventually from disinterested bar staff. They were just ok. Ventured upstairs and got two more which were really bad and tasted’flat’.. raised the issue with an incredulous barmaid who eventually got her suspicious manager to listen.. and then obtain some pints from a different tap downstairs which were a huge improvement. No apology, no nothing, just suspicion. These guys are just jumping on the back of the bandwagon and taking the p. Find yourself a real Irish bar when you visit London

This pub is very good,it gets very busy at the weekend but there are many levels to the pub as well as several bars so if you get there early you should find a place to sit with friends and there is great live music at the weekend,the pub also serves good food..

Went here after dinner with friends for a drink. We ended up staying until close because the live music was so good! What a cool place- the interior is beautifully decorated and quite large! Would love to come back to this place some time.

Heard of this place but wasn't fully aware of what an amazing place it is. Don't just stand at the bar at the front venture back into a wonderful, quirky building that just goes on.
Beers was good and the food that people were having looked good, it's a pub that just makes you smile !!

After struggling to find a place to watch the Six Nations with any atmosphere we found Waxy O'Connors. Beautiful building with lots of space over many floors. Screens in all areas for people to enjoy the sport without being wedged in. Nice beer and good food. Would recommend.

I've been here numerous times over the years. This is the first time there was only one person serving at each bar last night. It took a while to be served and it wasn't even a very busy night. Management need a quick fix with that. The atmosphere, with live music was good.

Hi Kate
I'm afraid we're an 18+ venue at all times so we wouldn't be able to allow her inside as Westminster council are very strict with us about it.
Sorry for any inconvenience!.
