Why it's great for Matchdays
In Middlesbrough’s town centre on Bedford Street, O’Connell’s is a popular meeting point and screens live football on big screens, with the pub advertising coverage of “almost every major game.” It’s also listed among local Sky Sports venues. WhatPub notes multiple large flat-screen TVs and plenty of seating, which helps groups on matchdays. The pub serves bar meals and a well-regarded Sunday carvery, making it a handy spot for pre- or post-match food.

Had lunch here yesterday. Really friendly and helpful staff behind the bar. Food was good value and was nice, not the best I've ever had but certainly better than most and something I'd be happy to have again. The chips in particular were really nice and taste even better than they look. The only downside for me and this is mostly a one off but their was no atmosphere. This is partially due to it being a lunchtime but it was also because their was some drilling work going on in the gents toilets and the noise was a bit intrusive and off-putting whilst I was eating. As I say, a one off I'm sure but was annoying enough to be mentioned. Overall good place though and I wouldn't let the atmosphere issues put me off return visits.
Good pub with decent prices and good food. We had the Parmo (see picture) which was heavy but very good and a huge portion for a very decent price. Mixed audience, friendly staff, affordable prices, nice atmosphere (more "sit and talk" than loud any noisy).
Excellent service and amazing quality in food. The burgers were perfect
very quiet, but parmo was gorgeous, good selection of beers, friendly staff, not too far from station
