The Grapes, Oxford

Great pub to look round as you drink and has a lot of charm. Had Green King Westgate AlePril Fool and Atlas Golden Amber, both in good condition.

I popped in for a quick pint but ended up staying for a few more as I really liked this pub. Like most good pubs there were various characters drinking here, from the Oxford professor to the toothless West Country labourer that I had some banter with. The booze was great with a good selection of ale and the staff were professional. Whilst I was in there a group of 50 students came in for one of their pub crawl stop-offs and I was rueing the fact that I had not bought a drink before. Thankfully the barmaid had spotted that I had been in the pub for a while and was not part of the group and was served almost immediately, well done that girl!! When I'm back in Oxford I will definitely make a point of revisiting this place again.
