Graham Coombs left this review about The Chequers
A splendid old Nicholsons pub tucked down an alley with lots of dark woodwork and other ancient features, perhaps a bit pitched at the tourist market but a nice place to drink nonetheless. The main floor has a dining area to one side and some sofas by a fireplace at the other. Up a short flight of stairs is a larger room which has its own bar at the far end (possibly only used for functions), as well as a side room and a small outdoor balcony. The yard below is filled with tables and umbrellas. A fair selection of ales included Brains Rev. James and Titanic Plum Porter, with Hophead, Proper Job, Doom Bar and the house beer. I could happily have settled here for a while.

Good Beer Guide 2021 Pub, tucked away down a little alleyway off the high street. Entrance reminding you of the Turk Tavern.
Its a Nicholsons pub but with quite a few quests on. No complaints with my X-Panda from Brew York.
Slightly odd atmosphere - an ancient pub with the football on, but no volume.
Don't think it could work out what it wants to be.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Chequers
One of Oxford's old alleyway pubs, this one is owned by Nicholson's and retains some character despite the various makeovers it has received over the years / decades / centuries... Now has a something of a lounge at the far end, and more of a hall-like appearance to the entrance area. Not a bad selection from eight of ten handpumps, with three ciders in addition to the likes of My Generation Session Pale Ale (£3.56, inclusive of 20% Camra discount), Millionaire from Wild Beer and Thornbridge Jaipur.
