Cool for school bottleshop-cum-record store in a tiny shop unit opposite Big Society and a couple of doors up from the noted Atomic Burger (it's actually next door to the original AB site). A squarish/rectangular room with yer vinyl to the left (£27 for a vinyl LP? No thanks), fridges of bottles and cans to the right and a small bar against the rear wall with 4 x keg taps on the bar itself. Various Big Scary Monsters t-shirts on the walls available for sale, plus plenty of music-related flyers including the famed, free music mag 'Nightshift'. No real ale, predictably, so Little Ox Oxford Pilsner, Track Brewing Sonoma, Bman Belle Grazer (a Saison, frustratingly not on Untappd) and Bman End of Haze; the latter a behemoth of an 8% DIPA. It's a concept that's been done to death of late, but as a fan of Oxford's Cowley Road (I used to be a frequent visitor back in the day), it's a quirky alternative to an area that's seen it's choice of drinking establishments taper somewhat this side of the millennium.
