Decent one room pub with pool table out back. Students dominate but it does have some decent music. Good location off the Cowley Road.

Decent 2 room pub. Greene King I.P.A was available. Very "studenty" but near the station if you fancy a quick pint. Limited menu. Found �20 note on the floor once so I may be biased

I'm not a fan of chain theme pubs, but, I quite liked this place. A small snug bar with open fire and a larger public bar which sometimes does live music. Caffreys, Harp and The Black Stuff.Limited menu. Went on a Saturday night and had a good craick (sorry).

Avoid. Huge charmless place. Some real ales and a decent patio area. For any-one who remembers it as The Brewhouse it would bring a tear to your eye to see what has been done with this fantastic building. Wheelchair access.

Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford
Good range of bitters (has it's own beer festival). can get busy at lunchtime.Piped music is a downfall. Wheelchair access.

This is the best pub in Oxford. Especially if you like real ale. It can get very busy in the summer(tourists) and winter(students). Try the Turf Tavern Ale. Never tried the food but there is a non-smoking eating area at the back. Accesible for wheelchairs.

Decent Fullers pub which does an extended menu. Popular Sunday lunches. Set in three rooms with a large garden, car park and playground for kids. Live sports in main bar. No smoking section. Has now introduced live music on an irregular basis. Checkout the popular quiz on a Sunday night. On the downside piped music is played in the rear room which I found annoying. Overall....Reccomended

Visited this pub twice during the past year while walking along the river. Good location and easy to get to.....HOWEVER...on my first visit the landlord made a comment about my size (I'm on the large side) which i found insulting,but, then gave me change for �10 when I only gave him �5 (HA HA). On my second visit (with my wife) we were served promptly ,but, the beer tasted like vinegar. Have not been back since and don't plan to.

Officially Oxford's worst pub. Always felt unsafe going through the doors, this place seems to attract the dregs of Cowley. Always seems to be dirty and dark. No real beer (all gassy lagers).Hopefully now that Liz has gone the brewery will spend some cash on the place. For it's position should be packed every night but it isn't... tells you everything really .AVOID....spend a couple of quid and get the bus down the Cowlet Road instead.

Good back street boozer. Landlord Pete runs a tight ship, constantly changing real ales, nice freindly atmosphere, nice garden outside. Watch-out for the dogs though- they're allowed to run wild throughout the pub. Stays open late on the weekend (time called about 11:45)

Now only seems to cater for students to the exception of every-one else. Poor beer, no atmosphere, too expensive. Will always be remembered by residents of Oxford as THE DOLLY (R.I.P.)

Took the wife in on a saturday night...LOVED IT!
as has been mentioned it has a great juke box (mostly metal). Left at about 1:30 am , freindly and safe but watch out for the crappy toilets.
