The Hobgoblin, Oxford

This is a strange one. Sometimes it can be really good and at other times not. I guess it depends when you go and who else decides to go as well. There's usually a lot of students that go and it does have a bit of an indie feel to it (possibly due to the music they play perhaps) They sometimes have bands playing which can be a bit annoying if you are enjoying a conversation. In many ways this place is the younger brother of the Zodiac although it does do proper beer. This is probably the best thing about this pub that they are constantly changing the beers they serve. Just don't go there for Sunday lunch. The last time I did I had to wait about 2 hours for it to arrive and when it did it was seriously below par

Cheap and nasty. No proper beer served here, I brew better stuff myself at home

The Duke, Oxford

This is a good pub to go to if you are on a night out on cowley road. It has quite a contemporary design inside and at weekends they sometimes have a dj. Intriguing but friendly bar staff await you along with 1 and a half pint sized glasses and a long list of shooters.
