Wow, this place was great! Apparently it had just started serving sandwiches when we came by, and…read morewe thought they were excellent. I had a glass of the wine of the moment- it was a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon that was very reasonably priced. My husband had a local beer that he thought was unimpressive, but it was his own fault- he ordered a lager, knowing he likes more flavorful beers, and it came out just meh. I got a prosciutto sandwich, and we both agreed that mine was better. I highly recommend it! Go for some wine in the afternoon, stay for the sandwiches!

Our server was very attentive and did a wonderful job with recommendations and tending to everyone. She helped with wine selections and kept everyone's glasses filled.

The room we were in was well decorated with artwork and felt cozy.

What this usually means is that they have a beer a few weeks or months past dead, so they sell it all for a ridiculously cheap price. is it dangerous? No. Potent? yes. It seems that people get drunker faster when the beer is old :) its always been very popular with young people. I myself bought single med sized bottles of a range of odd beers here all for 44p each! you just cannot beat that. as well as the out of date beers there is a fine selection of normal dated wines and brew - all still cheaper then most other mainstream places. It is located on the cowley rd opposite the medic centre.

I used to love Brown's. They had a home cooked chicken dish…read morethat just felt like love on a plate. Those days are gone. While the burger was big, the flavor was sort of artificial. And the fries did not sing of potato. They sort of mumbled their origins over the taste of cooking oil. I ordered a non alcoholic cocktail with elderflower (which is kind of the second national beverage of England ...the first being beer) and I could be forgiven for thinking that elderflower was just water. I think the bartender used an eyedropper. Oh well. I suppose that is what happens with chains that are long in the tooth. The ambiance was kind of old school and posh pub like. Good place to take the olds when you are in Oxford but I am sure there are better places to go.

We ordered two of the £29.95 5-to-share Tapas Bundles between 8 of us (portions weren't huge, but then neither is the price of these bundles), and while neither ground-breaking nor the most authenticly Spanish Tapas I've tasted, was very nice. Service was friendly, even if occasionally hard to attract the waiters' attention (going to the bar easily solves this). Finally, the bar provided a fun selection of drinks such as Pimms with Elderflower cordial. I can't comment about noise at the back, but sitting at the front noise levels were fine for conversation. All in all, this comes well recommended. Normally I might give this 4 stars, but I feel the need to balance out the previous excessively harsh reviewers.

We usually ate elsewhere or cooked our own dinners before coming by, so I can't speak to the food, but the drinks were always on point. I had a special fondness for the bartenders here because they were always happy to strike up a conversation with us. We had lots of laughs - one night in particular, they brought me to tears making fun of what they perceived as oddities in American passports. They also helped us one night when a buddy drunkenly lost his phone in the building. They were patient and good natured, which is about all you can ask of bar staff. Again, if you're not feeling like making new friends, there's plenty of room to spread out with your own social group or even be asocial, if that's what you're wanting. It's a welcoming, fun place, and a little bit more laid back than some of the other pubs around.

It is more laid back with big leather sofas and a more 'quiet' atmosphere - though its not boring. If you are looking for a good drink and a sociable evening rather than getting bladdered and dancing like a loon, then this is a good spot. It does however shut fairly early (i think around 11:30) so you may want to make this your first stop or at least an early one if your having a long night out. The drinks are ok priced but not cheap. Typical ''chic bar''. Lots of cocktails to choose from.

Covers a fair amount of rooms/space in between the buildings etc. It's however a Greene King owned location now so perhaps not the flexibility of drinks as others. I don't try the food in this trip, but tried the Greene King IPA (the defacto US "Budweiser" sold beer in over 2500 pubs owned by them, but better than an US mass sold beer), and then a local Reggie's Turf beer. You can use the Greene King (GK) mobile app to order (QR code on each table), and there is an open bar area (with a low ceiling) to order some locals that are not in the GK app. Service is friendly and courteous! What I have experienced so far is that the WiFi is the same in any Greene King (GK) owned location :-)

OLD, OLD, OLD. So much history. Even though I'm sure lots of tourists weave their way through…read morealleys to get here, nothing about this bar felt touristy. We sat in the beer garden, and around us college kids chatted, a couple next to us was maybe on a first date?, just people of all types. And we drank. Drank in the warmth of the early fall day. Drank in welcome gulps, or quiet glugs. Drank away the beginnings of what would be a long day. Drank away the start of what would be a long night. Just a fun as hell kinda place. And old too. Some parts of the building have been there since the 1300s. And if you love history, or Hollywood, it's said that C.S. Lewis , Stephen Hawking, and Bill Clinton used to hang out (not together LOL). And where Billy boy allegedly "didn't inhale." Ahhh the 90s, am I right?
