| 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 |
| One of my favourite pubs, if only for the large collection of ties, however i have never been disappointed with the beer or service and normally Taylors Landlord is a good enough reason for a visit when in Oxford wellinformed - 12 Apr 2008 20:13 |
| I was enjoying a good drop of beer and some liver & bacon for my supper in a relatively quiet pub when some American students arrived determined to “celebrate” St Patrick’s day by being as loud and, well, American as possible. Well, never mind, the staff were very friendly and efficient and the other punters weren’t phased, so I had another beer. Is this a Fuller’s pub masquerading as a free house, as all the beers bar one (Adnams) were theirs? The “Gales” HSB was very good anyway. Ordinary - 21 Mar 2008 22:18 |
| This remains one of my favourite pubs in Oxford - small but full of character. Also reasonably priced. Tucked away a bit which keeps the tourists out (a plus in my book!!) GRMull - 3 Mar 2008 22:03 |
| Small two roomed pub with 5 casks - Fullers/Gales and Hooky Bitter. Smells of chips. Glass cases contain the clipped ends of club ties signed by the owners. Nice place. SilkTork - 17 Feb 2008 15:12 |
