Hermit Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Lol, I live here and I don't know anymore But probably avoid anything close to where you'll be - littlemore/blackbird leys/rose hill, not the best areas! There's a pub down by the lock in Sandford (just over the A4074) with a garden if the weather holds. Lots of pubs on Cowley Road, and of course in the town centre, or check Daily Info if you fancy a gig or whatever. What sort of place are you after? I hear there's sometimes dogging on Shotover hill.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmonkey Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Just hit the town centre mate. Always something going on. If you have access to the 'net, it's worth checking if anywhere is students only on certain nights. I can't remember top of my head where I've been turned away from since I had no student ID, but it does happen, and it's slightly f'n annoying.

Hermit Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Sure they'll be open, and no worries about student only nights because they're all gone for the summer Personally I hate the centre of town pubs - bland + grumpy doormen - but a couple of minutes walk away there's a good selection. I guess it might not be quite your cup of tea, but worth having a pint in the Turf, down an alleyway next to the Bridge of Sighs. Buses stop on the High St close by, so you could start there and then walk west along Broad St to get to George St which is where the horrible ones are... ... but along the way you could take in the Kings Arms and the White Horse so you couldn't care less by the time you get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
