Two-storey, well-established rock music venue down another Medieval passageway off the High, and also accessible from Blue Boar Street. The ground floor area is the bar, with pool table and juke box, and the music events are/were held upstairs. The music has been curtailed due to current restrictions and the owners put in a planning application to convert the upstairs to student accommodation which saw mass opposition and was thrown out. The beers used to reflect the music vibe. A bit different from other Oxford pubs ('lively', 'unpretentious', 'a bit rough round the edges'), be warned.
