O'Neills 'Irish' style pub was created in about 1995 by Bass by converting a large stationery shop. It later extended on the left to incorporate the former adjacent CROWN & THISTLE pub with its timbered frontage. A large open-plan interior in typical decor for this chain of Irish themed pubs. There are many TVs for sports events, including Irish sport; wooden tables with a mixture of seating styles; food is available all day including Irish recipes.

Historic Interest

Historically, the landlord of the Crown & Thistle paid an annual rent to the Lord Mayor of Leicester, this comprising four (old) pennies and a red Damask rose. The event took place annually on St John the Baptist's Day (June 24).
