Excellent guinness and brilliant malt whiskey selection. Colourful if irritating landlord. The Royal Oak - Woodstock Road Lots of cosy rooms. Pool and bar billiards. Fire in winter.
Food is excellent, cheap and lots of it.
Beer variable but good choice. Michaels Street Odd name. Good quiz night, no Satanic rituals. Cheapest beer in the centre of Oxford, but can be dull. The Trout - Godstow Road, Wolvercote Inspector Morse soundtrack played continuously.
