Waxy's is fantastic. I was in London 02-04, it's one of the only 2 pubs that really stuck - the bands were always fab - especially those guys that played every wednesday or so during late 03. Cant even remeber who they were - travesty! it was the friendliest, mopst comforatebl pub around. If only it had've traded later when I was frequenting it. Memorable place.
And if anyone reads this & can also remember the pub that had old bottoles lining it from top to bottom - pls let me know what it was called - was in the city somewhere

Not only is decor of Waxy's worthing noting, but the bar may well be one of the best in London. It is a go to anytime I have mates visit me in London who always leave saying they had a brilliant night. The drinks are very standard but the atmosphere created from an enthusiastic clientèle really make Waxy a special and fun bar.

It's worth coming here just to look at the place! Stunning. A great atmosphere too. Shame about the inflated prices though.

I have been in London a few months and love Waxy O'Connors. It is as good as any bar in Ireland.

I love Waxy O'Connors. The atmosphere is great, the staff arevery good (and I think they're all Irish which makes the theme brilliant). They sell club orange and Taytos, and I think Murphys on draught. If I'm not wrong they also show the GAA games. Waxy O'Connors is wicked.

Bars like Waxy O'Connors make me wish I was Irish. All my Irish friends say that this pub is a real home from home. If you can't make it to the Emerald Isle any time soon, Waxy O'Connors is a good place to drown your sorrows.

The reviwer Lucy missed the point entirely about Waxy's and others of its ilk. Sure you have to suffer the Corrs, but in real Irish pubs the music is incidental the only way you'd ever know there was music is to visit the toilets where it's piped to...

No, Irish Pub's are first and foremost meeting places, places to catch up for a chat and some craic with friends and family over a jar or two. They often do food which for most Irish folk 9like myself) is incidental, some menu's more exotic than others.

To this extent Waxy's fits the bill, it's larger than you're average English Pub (as most Irish Pubs are), and Irish Pubs nearly always offer nooks and crannies to it's users to sneak away to for a bit of peace and quiet if they so choose or to stay in the communal areas and watch Big Screen sport or just to let their hair down. The pub often opens it's doors early for big rugby matches (as they did for the Rugby World Cup 2003)

Oh and lest I forget, the Guinness & Irish Breakfasts isn't too shabby either.....
