The Castle Tavern Oxford

Great to have a Hooky pub in the centre of Oxford. Friendly staff and mixed clientele make for an enjoyable relaxing spot with good beer. Thoroughly recommend. Quiet but still great beer on new visit during the lunchtime period. Also value for money.

Refurbished and a great beer place in Oxford. Conveniently located near the Westgate this pub has a wide, varying, range of craft beer on tap. Helpful staff will give advice and let you sample and they usually have some very interesting, even challenging, beers available. They also do more standard draught and bottled beer and the usual range of other drinks. When we last popped in they had an open mic and poetry night on downstairs and it was well attended and an unpretentious diversion.

Great little pub in Oxford. Good drinks on tap. Wait staff seemed overwhelmed, as I think there were literally two people working that night. We are from the states and the authentic pub experience was nice, but there was a very loud group of people in there and it kind of ruined the experience a little bit. Food was very average, and mostly just pizza. Not a lot of selection here. But a nice atmosphere!

Haven't been in The Castle Tavern for at least a couple of years. Last time I was there, I didn't have the best pint of Old Hooky I'd ever tasted. So, I was a little hesitant in purchasing it again. The young bar person told me it was fine...and so it was, I'm happy to report! The atmosphere was pleasant, so a good experience all round.
