Teardrop, Oxford

Not a Massive Attack theme bar, but a nano-pub in the market and it's outside seating only. One cask and some keg, majoring on Church HanBrewery, who are a new one on me. Annoyingly its thirds-only here, whether that’s a weird licensing stipulation or the owner trying to be high culture, I can’t say. Casked it with Golden Abbey which was in remarkably good shape from stillage (NBSS 4) so well-worth the GBG listing. Not my bag at all as a venue but it's only a minute or two from other perennial GBG entries so worth a look for the curious. ‘A novelty, not a destination’ is a nice summation from Mr Moby below.

A cute little stall in the covered market, owned by the Church Hanbrewery brewery as an outlet for their unfined beers and the occasional guest. One or two casks and ciders are on a stillage, with more beers on keg or bottle. A few tables are squeezed in the aisle outside, shared with the adjoining tiny wine bar/bottle shop, and food bought elsewhere in the market can be consumed. The cask beer on the occasion was Ale X, a pleasant and refreshing brew, and we had a very nice chat with the lady in charge. Well worth dropping by, but note it is open market hours only so not evenings.

A tiny little micro bar set within the covered market, there were a couple of cask on and a decent range of craft beers. no other customers were about on my visit had the been a few it would quickly become crowded. More of a novelty than a serious destination.
