About O'Neill's Southsea
On Albert Rd in Southsea, O'Neill's Southsea is a pub built around big-screen sport and Irish-influenced food and drink menus. Multiple televisions cover the games, and a garden area gives room for drinks outside. The kitchen runs lasagne, chicken burgers, and pizzas, with 2 for 1 pizza offers, and chips rather than fries. Breakfast is also served, and a happy hour runs alongside the regular menu. Music features through the week, with karaoke nights and a live band on Saturdays. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly praise the breakfast and dishes like the Chicken Burger and pizzas, with several calling the food well presented and tasty, breakfast even earning compliments to the chef. Staff get consistent credit, with servers recommending wine and mixing cocktails singled out by name in multiple accounts, and one diner describes staff going out of their way after a mistaken order, comped with a free side and drink. The garden and karaoke or live band nights also come up as highlights for nights out, though a couple of reviewers note service slowed on busy weekend evenings, and one mentions a Lasagne sent back and remade without them being told, though they found it tasty once served. One reviewer flags drunken behavior from other patrons on a bank holiday. Overall the recurring thread is staff generosity when something goes wrong, from replaced meals to free rounds offered as an apology.

“I came here for some drinks with my friends on my birthday night out and I had the best time. The garden is a lovely place to chat and I happened to catch the place on their karaoke night which was so much fun! The servers Sophie and Ayden truly topped the night off. Thank you so much I will definitely come again!”
