Very welcoming pleasant pub and conveniently close to the train station. The beers were interesting and first rate.

Brilliant place, only discovered it recently. Execellent pint of Butcombe, pool table, cosy atmosphere and a friendly landlord. Great bet for a pint on the way into town, and handy for the station.
|
A decent pint of Hancock's HB, 1st pint was at the end of the barrel and was changed without too much prompting. Traditional 2 bar boozer.
|
Serves great beer full stop. Also turns a blind eye to people selling pirate goods and as it is the scruffy East End of Banbury I can only guess this is de rigeur for the area...as are the lion-sized rottweilers roaming the lounges but don't let that put you off. The Iceberg or Harveys I had was the best in its class - just keep an eye on the man with the bag of DVDs

This is a lovely pub I had not been to for a few years, and so called in while at the Banbury beer festival, and enjoyed the Lees beer that was on.
|
good friendly local pub nice atmosphere and good real ale
|
Cliquey pub with sad miserable locals and arsey landlord.
Pint was alright though.
Take a walk into town and go to the Reindeer instead.

Exceptional beer quality rather than unusual beers - huray ! Really good local. Try the Hancocks.

Excellent news that the discerning North Oxfordshire CAMRA branch has chosen The Bell as its 2007 pub of the year. Banbury is a town which has far more than its fair share of mediocre pubs. Thus The Bell, a few hundred yards from the town centre, is a civilised and laid-back alternative to the money-grabbing pubs elsewhere (exclude the Olde Reindeer and Woolpack from that). Many congratulations.

This Pub has been voted North Oxfordshire CAMRA branch Pub of the Year for 2007 showing the commitment to top notch beer quality and running a great pub that goes with it.

jewel of a pub well kept beers and very welcoming
|
Friendly town boozer close to the Railway and Bus Stations and also the Canal. Well run and popular, this is a real local for many people. Decent changing range of Real Ales for a Punch Tavern, always in top notch condition.
Wide range of activities from darts, though pool to the local speciality Aunt Sally.

The local of one of my mates this so always feel welcome. Beers good & price is OK. Good place to fgo for a quite drink and a chat.

What one would call a proper pub, Good Ale, real people, good welcome , Lounge, seperate Bar, Pub games and teams, darts , Dominoes, Aunt Sally in Season, One of a very few pubs in a town of which you can call a PUB.The beer is something else the Landlord takes a great pride in his beer.
