Loved this pub. Great decoration and very big space. Small menu for food though and very few vegan options.

Fantastic place. The atmosphere is cosy and comfortable, the people are very nice and helpful, and the food is better than your typical pub fare!Definitely recommend this place.

Had some bubble tea with us and we wanted to meet some friends inside. We were not allowed in and the staff was quite rude and did not offer any help, assistance or solutions. All in all an unpleasant experience.EDIT: The review is not based on the policy, which I respectfully told your staff I understand. It was based on the lack of kindness and solutions. We proposed leaving the drinks behind the bar and buying drinks from your place. Your response deliberately forgets this. A threat is saying that "if you dont let us in I will leave a negative review". I just said that I was unhappy *and* will leave a negative review. Which I did. Your response proves my point entirely.

Youd be really amazed getting inside, as it looks like a cave, with a plenty of secluded places and a big choice of drinks. Highly recommended!

A typical Irish bar with a decent choice we visited on a Saturday afternoon it was busy but not many bar staff to serve you. Year was the only downsides to our visit.

How is it possible that in such a crowded pub, and with so many varieties of beer, they dont have gluten-free beer? If you have any kind of allergy like this, better stay away.

Good vibey pub. Unfortunately we popped in there for a lunch and they didnt have three things we ordered on the menu. (How does a pub run out of fish and chips?Two of us ended up with scampi which was a very small portion, and a bit dry and tasteless. The burgers were ok.

An evergreen excellent place to go drinking, me and my friends always suggest Waxys during a crawl.Irish themed, an iconic decor complete with underground trees and decorative wooden panelling. Hundreds of seats and two bars means youre almost guaranteed to get a seat.When the live music is on, the vibe switches gears into a friendly, lively knees up. Tons of fun. Good beer selection too.

Amazing old pub with ancient atmosphere. A lot of places to sit with your friends and have some bear. Also, there are a huge tree inside the pub, what makes it more interesting to visit

Loved the place itself, had an absolute blast for a friends birthday. Good drink selection, lovely live music, and obviously just what a weird and wonderful interior.Only reason I take off a star is for the seriously rude and aggressive bouncer (he was a black guy with a foreign accent, there on Friday night, but I cant really remember much more to describe him).As soon as the place closed and the lights came on, he came over to our group and raised his voice at us, yelling "get out now!" etc. It was literally the first time wed been told to start packing up and I had quite a lot to pick up. No one was trying to stay longer or be cheeky, no one was drunk and disorderly. I quietly commented that there was no need for such a ridiculous reaction, and he proceeded to get up in my face asking why I said that. Very calmly and politely told him we were already following instructions and there was no need to panic or fluster us, and he kept barking back at me, which then DID start to make me angry.I thought a bouncers job was to DE-escalate. He literally created a conflict all by himself and then dialled it up to 10 from the get-go. Absolute moron.Anyways, other than that spoiling the end of the night a little, I love this place and wont hesitate to return. Maybe you guys should talk to that bouncer though about his tone, because even his colleagues stepped in to apologise and defuse the situation, so clearly it wasnt just me.

Our favorite pub in London. Service was awesome and the design of the actual pub is really cool. Feels a bit like an underground dungeon.Good prices as well!

Loved this place!Good points: Very clean and tidy, toilets were of good standard, prices were average for area and staff were very friendly.The pub itself was amazing and really promoted its heritage. A huge tree is in the center of the seating area with lots of little nooks filled with Irish themed items related to waxy himself. Irish music playing the whole time which was fab and a large TV displayed the football.Bad points: Unfortunately NO cash payments were taken which is very disappointing for tourists.Lots and lots of steps too. Seating areas are on multiple levels so not very wheelchair friendly.Overall: great experience and would definitely visit again if in the area.

Came in to buy a drink for 3 of us. Refused cash. Unaware of prices. Asked for a receipt to see what we were charged and was given card receipt not giving prices out. Asked for itemised receipt and was told printer wasnt working. Hiding prices conveniently.

4 uniquely styled bars spread across 6 levels, and a tree in the middle of it all! We sat and had a beer at the bar styled like a church. Good service and worth a stop.

This place was so disappointing after reading all the reviews. Its a funky space, sure. But this isnt an Irish pub.The music was awful, the bartender at the front with the blond ponytail didnt know how to pour a Guinness. So disappointing. Its just a tourist trap. There are nicer places around if you want to go for a pint

Came here to watch the Rugby between SA and NZ. So pleased to find it actually being shown on a day when football as usual seemed to be the sport of choice. Plenty of seating, plenty of OPEN bars with service and staff getting the job done. Staff were all pleasant and friendly and I had a thoroughly good day.

Dont be fooled by initial impressions that suggest its a relatively small place. As you go from one room to the other, the sheer scale of this bar is a sight to behold. The vibe of the place is fantastic and the live music in the evenings was a ton of fun! Highly recommend!

It’s my favourite pub and I really enjoy the atmosphere. Jonny as the Supervisor knows how to do his job and how to be in control of the pub. Ali, the bouncer who usually stands at the front door is super strict. However, very polite and respectful; not a typical bouncer.Generally speaking, the staff team is doing well and the place worths a try, or more than ‘a’ try!👌🏻👍🏻

Great live entertainment and the atmosphere was electric, everyone dancing to great Irish classics, the decor and layouts of the whole building is an experience to enjoy what ever section you choose to sit. Great bar staff and plenty of range to choose from.

A lovely English pub experience. Beautiful interior decor this place is like a maze! You can easily get lost going to the toilet or trying to find your friends. Theres always music playing in the background and sometimes theres live music too. Good selection of beers and spirits. Highly recommended!

The environment is amazing, life music, crowded but not packed. The service was fast and there is plenty of space where to sit or stay. The decoration is amazing and it is always a nice place to enjoy and disconnect from reality. 100 percent recommended.

If you want to have a drink somewhere that looks interesting its a good spot. However the staff and manager, the music or ambience are not at the level you want which makes it a 1 drink and continue place at best. In many ways the best way to put it would be tourist trap

With multiple bars to choose from and live music, it’s a great place to grab a drink though its a bit of a tourist trap. Finding a table at any given time is a real challenge and when you do get one, you’ll hang onto it for as long as you can. Bouncers at both front and rear entrances do a good job of filtering unwanted elements.

One of those hidden jewels of London. Pretty close to the center if you want a nice pint with a good selection of beers and tons of liqueurs for you to choose from. It’s an beautiful ant nest that opens into a cave of wood and amazing structures. With a touch of magnificent Irish and church like architecture inside. A really nice and warm pub to get the vibe of what it is like to have a pint in central London with you friends, always with a nice environment and food is normally quite good. The ribs are amazing!! If you are use to American ribs, as mostly all places in London they will be too small for you, but burgers and pies are good for a nice evening meal. A must to go pub if you are near soho or Chinatown.

Hidden gem, though this place ja quite famous, but if you are new to London, you might not have heard of it.So, this place is one of the best pubs in the area. Dont get fooled by its main gate, there is one, two, three or more floors beneath. And it looks so different, and like an authentic Irish pub.Bartenders are really helpful.They play live Irish music till 10.30 at least (on Sunday I was there)Very live place. Must visit.

I LOVE this place! Since I went for the first time each time I go to London I spend time here. The decorations and the environment is super cozy and warming. The prices are normal. Usually this place is packed but it’s totally worth it!... there’s lots of kinds of beer and also ciders. The music is really nice and for sure you’ll have a great time. Waxy is a MUST!

The best pub in the whole world! This pub is a magical place full of trees and woodpanelled walls. It has really great alternative rock music and a lot of old school favourites too. The pints are reasonably priced and the food is very tasty! The atmosphere in the pub really is so warm and inviting. Definitely worth a visit!!
