The Brewery Bar, Botley

I can honestly say, I wouldn't bring my dog to this pub, let alone my children. The drinks were flat and the food was microwaved. Although the staff were helpful (with the exception of the manager/landlady who was rude and very scruffy looking). They promote a child friendly atmosphere however there really is very little for kids to do here, other than watch their parents get drunk apparently, as most of them were. Shocking behaviour. The pub itself is very shabby looking (and I don't mean shabby chic either)! It's damp, dark and very dinghy. The prices are high considering this damp little place is nothing to write home about BUT on a slightly positive note, kids eat free.! However I'm not exactly confident as to what they would be eating and if they would escape without food poisoning or ecoli . They also have a pretty big problem with drugs, we could openly hear people discussing how much they wanted, we left after that pointy. Bottom line...don't bother going there. If you want to take your family out in botley, I recommend Kings Restaurant which is a classier establishment and more family friendly or even the Botley Tandoori! Or perhaps just take a picnic to the park but definitely NOT the Brewery Bar !!
