THE TURF TAVERN

Bar and caf
4/5
1 review

This historic pub is an absolute must. Although it's tucked away in a dark alleyway (St Helen's Passage), it was the setting for many episodes of the Inspector Morse series. And with good reason: it has played host to such illustrious figures as Oscar Wilde, Richard Burton, Margaret Thatcher, Ben Kingsley and many others. This gives the place an almost mythical dimension. The burgers served are excellent, and the beer selection is very good. The atmosphere is friendly, offering the opportunity to meet the locals.

THE LAMB AND FLAG

Pub

Located next door to John's College, the pub's profits are used in part to help students finance their studies. So you can drink your beers with a clear conscience, knowing that you're contributing to the education of local students. It has all the makings of a good local, where conversation and socializing take precedence over music and entertainment. The decor is traditional, within 17th-century walls, and the beers change regularly, always from the south-west of England. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

The Crown

Pub

This is one of Oxford's oldest pubs. After all, it's been a public house since the 16th century! Local legend has it that Shakespeare was a regular visitor to the university town. The establishment has changed name and been reconfigured several times over the centuries, but has a palpable soul. It's extremely pleasant to walk through the arch and narrow alleyway to this former farmhouse and sit at one of its outdoor tables or barrels.

THE JERICHO

Bar and caf

It started out as an unpretentious pub, far removed from the hustle and bustle of central Oxford. Its concert hall enabled Radiohead to sign to their current label. And that's not all! The band Supergrass also played here in the early 1990s. Today, the pub is decked out in bright, garish colors. Beanbags are available, a jukebox plays the best indie tunes and the beers are really cheap. You can also enjoy inventive cocktails, gin and a wide variety of ciders.
Tables can be booked online.
