Friendly local, regularly in the GBG and worth finding. Not particularly studenty, but not overly local either, if you see what I mean...

Foody at lunchtime, busy in the evenings. Not bad. It's a Mr Q's pub, like the Magdalen Arms on Iffley Road, but it's much, much nicer (not that that's saying much).

The old entry said "dire", but when I went it was stacked with locals watching Oxford play Portsmouth, and they seemed friendly enough. In fact, one old bloke bought me a pint, so it was a definite plus. Saying that, you need a GPS to find the place.

Tetley Bitter

Big garden; bar billiards; but not up to much. In fact, when I went on a Sunday afternoon, it was horrible, and I'm pretty tolerant of pubs.
