The pub has long been the go-to in Edinburgh for live music and sport, and now there's even more to shout about. From Monday to Thursday, guests can enjoy live entertainment from 9pm – including a lively pub quiz on Mondays and crowd-favourite karaoke Tuesdays to Thursdays.
The pub also offers a delicious food menu for visitors to enjoy in the easy-going pub. Guests can tuck into all the pub favourites, from mix-and-match small plates such as Drunken Mushrooms, Crispy Chicken Tenders and Dirty Tato Pops to gourmet burgers including the Notorious P.I.G or vegan Shiitake Mushroom, as well as an array of craft beers to try.
For early birds, O'Neill's Edinburgh is now serving breakfast from 11am daily – featuring proper Irish breakfasts and brunchy favourites to start your day right. Whether it's the Hearty Irish or a cheeky Bacon & Egg Bap, you'll find something to soak up the night before (or fuel the day ahead).
Sport lovers are well catered for with BT Sport and Sky Sports across the screens – whether it's Premier League, Six Nations or GAA action, you'll never miss a match. Meanwhile, the newly refurbished function room is perfect for all sorts of celebrations – from birthdays and weddings to student socials and Christmas parties. With an upgraded sound system, private bar and space for up to 40 guests, it's ideal for raising a glass (or two). The function room will be available for hire to the public from September onwards once the Edinburgh Fringe Festival has ended.
And yes – your furry friend is welcome too. Dogs are allowed in the bar area until 9pm and can enjoy water and treats on request. It's a proper Irish welcome – four legs or two.
Commenting on the pub's new look, general manager, Ryan Anderson, said: 'As a cornerstone of Edinburgh's nightlife, we're delighted to have given the pub a much need refresh and can't wait to share the exciting changes with our guests. We're looking forward to continuing to deliver the great atmosphere we're known for.'
'Whether you're stopping by for a pint and a bite with friends at lunch or looking to dance the night away on the weekend, our pub is the perfect destination.'

But now, the streaming service has released the first-look images at the 49-year-old Irish actor as a headmaster at a last-chance reform school. The reinterpretation of Max Porter's Sunday Times bestseller, Shy, is set in the mid-90s and chronicles a pivotal day in the life of Steve (Murphy) and his pupils.

Cillian Murphy plays impassioned headteacher in trailer for Netflix drama Steve
Set in the mid 1990s and directed by Tim Mielants, the movie follows a pivotal day in the life of Steve (Murphy) and his students, who exist in a world that has abandoned them. The drama is a reimagining of Max Porter's Sunday Times bestseller Shy, named after its protagonist, a teenager who boards at the school with a programme for troubled youths. The trailer shows Murphy's character describing himself to a film crew as 'very, very tired' amid clips of violence among pupils. In a voiceover, he adds: 'These are extraordinarily complex young people.' Other scenes sees Steve speaking to Shy, drinking an unknown substance from a small transparent bottle, and screaming while clenching his fists. I May Destroy You star Jay Lycurgo plays Shy, a troubled teenager who needs to reconcile with his past and control his impulses for self-destruction and violence. The movie shows Shy's interactions with Steve, who in turn is grappling with his mental health as he fights to protect the school from closure. Supporting cast include Tracey Ullman and Emily Watson, who starred with Murphy in the Irish drama Small Things Like These. Murphy, 49, who is a producer for Steve, won a Bafta and Oscar last year for his title role in Sir Christopher Nolan's epic, Oppenheimer. He plays Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby in TV hit series Peaky Blinders, which is being turned into a film for Netflix which will also star Saltburn's Barry Keoghan. Steve is in select cinemas from September 19 and on Netflix from October 3.
