Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Three Goats Heads
Interesting looking building, especially the feature inverted-bow window beside the entrance steps. Given a grand, traditional look inside, with several small booths and alcoves under the bold moulded ceiling in the main bar area. Also has a cellar bar (not open on my visit) and an upstairs dining room. No longer sells OBB on handpump, so I went for the XXXX Best (£3.60) which is a new beer for me.

a very smart and comfortable Sam Smiths, at least in the cellar bar. Upstairs was closed off today. Food menus on all tables and unusually for Sam’s the meals actually looked edible. Decent OBB served by friendly foreign barmaid - would definitely visit again. Other reviews seem harsh, or it has improved dramatically- I found it hard to leave and it felt very tranquil in the tourist chaos of Oxford centre.

Almost dead on a Thursday evening. The refit has smartened things up a little in the lower bar. Entertainment provided by the barman who was very knowledgeable about Humph and his ways and on guard for a flying visit from the area manager (a mini-Humph) who did duly arrive, point at a few things, and then disappear. The fact there were next to no customers did not apparently concern him. OBB still at the bar (NBSS 2) and the Taddy lager was a bit musty. Continually flatters to deceive.

Cask OBB now available. Rated 6

A Sam Smiths outlet in a pretty building, apparently converted into a pub in late 1980’s. Downstairs to a surprisingly well-lit and well maintained little bar, though not much atmosphere. Low ceiling, varnished wood furniture and attractive dark green tiling pretty much covers the décor angle. No OBB ale, so settled for a half of keg extra stout (£1.50) in a less than sparking glass. Meant to see how well the fridge was stocked but forgot. The upstairs lounge bar was closed on my visit but I’m informed it’s an ornate room. Simple food menu at Wetherspoons prices, the people next to me looked like their nachos and dips had been ram-raided from a cash and carry. I’d look in again to try and catch the upstairs but as a simple cellar bar it’s a bit ‘so what’ in a city full of great boozers. Rated 5
