rosa Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 There's some lovely bookshops there. They do tours of the Bodeleian library as well. I might not bother going to the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking a few friends who studied there for pub suggestions. I've got a very very long list.

Going to be a long fun day It is defo a city of pubs. What that'll mean in practice is we either all end up in different ones, drinking alone in some cases, or all end up in the Spoons, possibly missing quite a bit of the game. The stadium is absolutely miles away from the city centre isn't it? Taxis? Buzz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium is absolutely miles away from the city centre isn't it? Taxis? Have they got Uber out there? Worked a treat at Millwall didn't it?

Uber exists in Oxford... It's very tempting to spend the £25 entry on 2/3 pints of local craft ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Fork Handles.. https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/all-pubs/england/oxfordshire/the-four-candles-oxford I might get snotty about the Spoons in a town full of top boozers. I don't know when anyone else is getting there, but how's about meeting at The Bear, followed by St Aldates Tavern...then head south to pick up cabs / Ubers. (We need to head south for transportation because of the no-cars-shall-pass city centre, which is where you find the Four Candles.) When is everyone getting there?

lookersstandandy Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Right, so I accosted a work colleague who lives in Oxford and gave them the following brief, gimme the name of some pubs that are neither cheap and cheerful chains, or poncy bearded hipster hang outs [sorry 24hours] that are ideal for Northerners who preference real ale and craft beers. Subsequently, I have been presented with the following; The Turf Tavern: OX1 3SU which is 0.8 miles / 16 minute walk from Oxford train station. http://www.turftavern-oxford.co.uk/ St Aldates Tavern: OX1 3BU which is 0.7 miles / 13 minute walk from Oxford train station. http://www.staldatestavernoxford.co.uk/ Chequers: OX1 4DH which is 0.7 miles / 13 minute walk from Oxford train station. http://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/restaurants/southeast/thechequersoxford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
