The service was very friendly & super helpful by giving me some tasters. Tap bier choices were limted, but vast for the size of the place. For older Oxford locals/studes, it used to be ; 'The Rat Hole'. It has a great decor, shame the books are wallpaper.

It would have been easy to accept this had the place been teeming with customers, but it definitely wasn't. We...
