| I am not from oxford just studying here i read about this pub in the good beer gilde, This pub was a little quite but the ale was very nice, i can see why it won pub of the year with beer and staff like this, cuchis - 10 Jan 2010 15:24 |
| Not the most aesthetic of pubs but it serves a decent enough pint. The Evan Evans Winter Warmer went down well. Down an alley off Magdaeln Street (past thr Brazilian coffee shop/bar). Snarling_Mallard - 30 Nov 2009 22:23 |
| On the plus side - good choice of ales from breweries such as Evan Evans, Dark Star, Bedfordshire, Brakspear, although I thought the chocolate stout (Dark Star) served too warm. They really need to sort out the smell emanating from the Gents every time the door opened very unpleasant wafts came our way, and the building itself lacks any kind of ambience apart from that of a kind of local community centre with hand pumps. The piped Bryan Adams and other such drivel didn't help either. Like I said, the beer was alright. Dandillus - 29 Nov 2009 19:38 |
| I won't lie this is pretty much my local if I am in Oxford city centre. The last post mentioned the staff - they are from all over, not just Eastern Europe - some are from East Oxford! Dave and Lauren are the managers now and very nice they are too. The far from now has a real cider of the week and there is a beerfest coming up in October. Yes it is a bit of a barn but if you like beer you would go a long way to beat the choice - and no Green King! lobliebyfire - 24 Sep 2009 15:00 |
| A pretty good pub is the FFTMC. As the name implies, it's a bit of a bolt hole, down an alley, next to Borders bookshop. Wide range of ales and I've never had a bad one. Used to hang and sell some pretty good paintings and photographs on the wall. A sort of boozer cum gallery, but haven't seen the art change for a long while now. Haven't seen the old guvner there for a while so he may have uped sticks and retired. Staff are (I think) mostly Eastern European, but very pleasant generally. Worth a visit. griffo59 - 7 Aug 2009 18:15 |
