O'neill's Carnaby Street

You're on Carnaby Street—yes, that Carnaby Street—and somehow you've stumbled into a genuinely decent Irish pub instead of another overpriced tourist trap. O'Neill's has that warm, slightly worn-in feel that makes you want to settle in with a pint of Guinness for longer than you planned. The crowd's a proper mix: locals who've been coming here for years, tourists who actually found something real, and after-work drinkers from the surrounding offices. It's unpretentious in a neighbourhood that rarely is.
