Turf Tavern

Turf Tavern has such a charming vibe, perfect for a hang out with friends! We ordered fries, and while the portion was smaller than expected, they make up for it with their special local beer, Flint Eye—absolutely worth trying if you’re a beer enthusiast. The atmosphere is fantastic, with a cozy medieval-style interior and a lovely backyard that’s perfect for relaxing. Prices are quite reasonable too, which is a plus. Overall, it’s a great spot to hang out, enjoy some unique drinks, and soak in the unique ambiance. Highly recommend Turf Tavern!

My favorite pub for a pint in Oxford. This historic pub is supposedly where former US president Bill Clinton “did not inhale” while smoking marijuana during his times as a Rhodes Scholar at historic Oxford University. The bar has a chalk board commemorating the famous occurrence. This centuries old pub is popular with both locals and tourists alike. It was pretty packed during my visit, but I was able to find seating. I didn’t eat, but enjoyed a tasty IPA among their nice selection of draft beers.

What a stunning establishment tucked away down winding alleys off the road next to the Bridge of Sighs. I've never seen such a unique pub. I'm 5" 8' and almost had to duck to come through the door. Great selection of ales on offer and although we didn't eat here, the food looked tremendous. I would highly recommend coming here even if it's only for a quick beer. There's a wonderful beer garden/terrace too.

The food was tasty and the servers were friendly. I enjoyed the cauliflower soup, maple pigs in a blanket and mulled wine And a Guinness. Everything was great, including the atmosphere.

Fair prices for drinks. We came here because it was touted as a not-to-be-missed when in Oxford. Food was okay, the mash potato in the Bangers and Mash was incredibly thick. Prices were again, okay but on the higher end for pub-food. The wait for the bar was a little bit excruciating. Especially when it was nearing the time for the kitchen to close. Some most drinks were also not available to order on the app, hence we had to order at the bar. (E.g., Hazy Lager, Butterbeer, some other ales) I was in line for about 10 minutes before I was 2nd in line where staff asked me very politely if I minded if some customers behind me were served first to ensure their food orders were put in before the kitchen closed (as i was only ordering drinks). It's hard to decline when three parties behind you in the queue are waiting for you to answer, without sounding like an (censored). Luckily, another staff member took my drink order. While I'm sure staff were doing their best for all customers, this left me rather annoyed having patiently waited in line for drinks since there was only 1 till. Not worth the hype in our experience unfortunately. Better food and drinks available in other areas in Oxford, I suppose unfortunately if you become popular, the top-notch service and food as advertised falters. Pea soup was the highlight, very yummy. Butterbeer was almost room temperature and extremely underwhelming.
