| An excellent pub all round. Very cosy on my last visit; friendly staff and a good range of drinks. Always pleasant to revisit places that have actually improved in recent years in Oxford, but this is also a result of the Bear not being steamrollered by Greene King bandwagon that has resulted in most of the former Morrells estate becoming no-go areas. meurglys_iv - 12 Jan 2009 23:07 |
| A tiny and characterful two room pub. as a good, quiet location tucked away from the High and next door to Merton. Notable for ancient beams, warm fires and huge tie collection displayed on the walls and ceiling. Offers a slightly extended Fullers range with Discovery and HSB. I'd suspect the pub quiz might be rather tricky..... jonno_ - 12 Jan 2009 10:34 |
| I took my friend to this pub on Saturday 23rd as she's emmigrating and I wanted to take her to some pubs she hadn't been to before. I ordered 1 bacardi & diet coke and 1 JD and diet coke and was charged £9.80. I questioned the price and was told it was correct and that the JD shot alone was £5. They were singles, not doubles so I'm sorry, but whoever said this pub was reasonably priced was very wrong. For a comparison - we bought the same round of drinks in another pub and was charged £5.60. MrsS - 26 Aug 2008 11:52 |
| I wouldn't recommend going here if you're looking to sit outside. The "beer garden" is some garden benches on the pavemenet outside. It wasn't helped on the day we were there, by some very drunk loud guys at the next table! The staff were sympathetic, beer good and food OK. Try to get a table inside. vmc - 22 Aug 2008 18:47 |
| Small and old traditional oub dating back to 1242, located close to Christ Church college, just south of the High Street. Despite not being badged as such, the Bear is a Fullers pub, having been bought off the City Council in 2001 ( per Oxford CAMRA guide ). At the time of my recent visit, the pub was selling the monthly Fullers guest beer - Highgate Best at £ 3.10p. Previous contributors will be disappointed to hear that the previous policy of allowing a wider range of guest beers has now been discontinued and I'm afraid the previous contributor is unlikely to find Timmy's on any more. The pub's most noticeable feature is the extensive tie collection in glass cases on the walls and ceiling. I gather there's about 5,000 in total. Note the old Halls - Oxford and West Brewery Co Ltd - motif on the wall outside. Worth popping in for the proverbial swift half if time permits JohnBonser - 30 May 2008 13:55 |
