| Had the nicest pint of Youngs bitter here since the brewery in Wandsworth closed down and transferred brewing to Bedford. Good pub with pleasant atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Food menu is bar food type. GrahamH - 7 Oct 2008 08:45 |
| An Oxford institution, this bustling den is always convivial and packed with students and an unpretentious crowd of locals. It has a beautiful location round the corner from Blackwell's bookshop. BoehmBawerk - 20 Sep 2008 22:02 |
| Exactly what a pub should be: Busy, varied clientele, good variety of proper ale well kept, brilliant atmosphere, helpful staff - just go, see for yourself, choose your favourite tipple, if you're lucky find a seat in the back sung by the fire, settle down with a good friend or favoutite book and let the day drift away.......mmmmmmm perfect ianwynn - 27 Jun 2008 23:12 |
| Well known traditional City Centre pub dating back to 1607 and now owned by Youngs since 1991 ( their first pub in Oxford ) The small rooms at the back have more atmosphere and display pictures of old customers who have visited over the years, including the deadly duo of Morse and Lewis. Despite it being a Youngs pub, the KA has always sold guest beers - on my early May visit, these were Deuchars IPA ( now a regular guest in many Youngs pubs ) , St Austell Tribute and a beer from Beartown Brewery ( regrettably my notes on which beer are now illegible !) Bottled Quadricentary Ale ( ABV - 6.4%) was being sold in bottles to commemmorate the 400 years Anniversary. The pub is close to several colleges and is inevitably popular with the Gown. It does however open at 10.30 in the morning, which is a good time to visit. Definitely one of Youngs best pubs - worth seeking out. Very close to the famous Turf Tavern ( on which I've also commented recently ) JohnBonser - 3 Jun 2008 13:46 |
| A decent Youngs pub, with a number of good guest ales in decent nick and some nice bottled beers stocked from the Youngs range. I've never felt able to settle in here though, although both visits were on a Saturday evening. There's something about the front bar I don't like. Well worth a pub crawl stop-off, but not great for session unless you get in there on a weekday. Quinno - 31 Mar 2008 20:07 |
