The pub features a Performing Right Society plaque indicating that Supergrass played their first gig here.

Son is at Oxford Uni and looking for a pub with a good range of craft keg beers. Surprisingly, we haven't found a micropub in the City. Yet.
This came up on a search of craft beer, Oxford. It was in the part of town where we were eating. It has live music in the upstairs room.
Cask (for me) and a decent pint of TT Landlord. I say a pint. Probably about 92% of a pint and on another day, I would have asked for a top up. Keg - quite a selection on from the usual suspects.
Striped out, high ceiling, "chainy" feel to the place but not unpleasant. Live music offering an option to what other places have.

2nd September 2016:
A first in here the other night, this is an amalgam of the early 19th century Jericho House, combined with the Jericho Brewery. Later a Firkin pub and now the Jericho Tavern.
Mr Fastard's review leaves little changed: conventional furniture (high and low), bare boarded, a typical blue/grey colour scheme and some modest stained glass leaded lights; some of the walls are part bare brick. Sauce bottles were on the tables and music was really a bit loud. Despite there being more than a month to go before the start of Michaelmas Term, the pub seemed full of students.
Ales up: Hook Norton's Old Hooky, Wadsworth's 6X and Hogsback's TEA at £1.80 a half and fine.
I preferred this to the neighbouring Jude the Obscure next door, but the Victoria up the road is a far better pub so I don't envisage a return visit.
----------
A return visit over my festive stay and although not a massive change, it is not quite as good as before. Bare brick aside, the colour scheme is now an overly jolly royal blue to the walls, t 'n' g panelling, electrical sockets and ceiling; there are multi-coloured fluorescent tubes to the rear wall. Furniture comprises the conventional as well as high tables and chairs with tweed upholstery; there are ox blood button back or red velour banquettes to much of the perimeter. The ale choice has diminished too.
Ales: two pumps removed, thereafter The Great Yorkshire Brewery's Top of the Hops at £3.90 a pint and fine then Black Sheep Bitter at £3.85 a pint and a bit suspect - I didn't taste like Black Sheep to me.
Worth a visit if in the area and I still prefer it to The Jude The Obscure next door, but the Victoria still proves the greater draw.
