| Back in the day, this place used to be The New Inn and it was a great place to go, with real character. It was a favourite hangout with local music legends like Radiohead and Supergrass and because of this, it always felt special, even if there weren't any celebrity appearances. Now it's another washed-out, bland refurb with no character. I haven't been in here for a few years - it was actually quite presentable when it first opened but these days it looks run down and could do with a good clean. Anyway, I went in early on a Saturday evening with a female friend. It was quiet, mostly populated by a row of tough-looking middle-aged men standing at the bar with arms crossed, watching the football, and a few people out on the narrow outside terrace. I was slightly unnerved by one extremely drunk bloke coming up to the bar next to me, muttering in a low tone what sounded like some expletive ridden abuse about the colour of my purse. All in all, there's a real mismatch between the venue and its clientele. We left soon after my encounter with the purse-hater, and I won't be back again. sandwoman - 20 Jul 2008 20:15 |
| Used to be called The New Inn. Had character and interesting locals back then. Was known for great music and as a hangout for members of the famous and not so famous Oxford bands. No idea what it's like now... been a while. Toby - 11 Dec 2007 18:12 |
| Nah, I think that was the City Arms up the road, can't remember what this one was called before Corridor but apparently it was pretty rough. anonymous - 31 May 2007 15:08 |

| Agree with the last comment, the barman seemed ok but it was a bit like drinking in IKEA. anonymous - 27 Feb 2006 18:08 |
