The White Horse, Oxford

We spent a week in Oxford (my third visit) while getting my sister settled for her first semester, and spent a lot of time trying out all the downtown pubs.

The White Horse was the best. From the dumb waiter to the signature Blacksmith bitter, I couldn't get enough of this quaint old pub. The next time I'm back in Oxford, I plan to gather a gang of mates and head immediately to that window-side table.

This one's right up there with Oxford's best pubs. The Bird & Babe has that Tolkien/Lewis thing, and The Bear is awesome in that Christ Church is awesome kind of way (the Bear has better Fish & Chips, too), but the White Horse has them on the most important factor: they pour the absolute best pint in town.
