Used to go to Uni there (Brookes). If you're still there go to the Pitt Rivers Museum - there's loads of weird s*** there, shrunken heads etc. Pub's wise my favourite was always the Wheatsheaf just off High Street quite near to the cross roads where Carfax Tower is, it's kind of a punk/biker bar. If you'd rather somewhere a bit nicer then The Crown off Cornmarket Street is pretty decent or Head Of The River down St Aldates but that's a bit expensive. You can't really go far wrong with most of the pubs in the city centre (or anywhere in Oxford really as far as I'm concerned!)Southern fairy wrote:Anything or anywhere in Oxford. I'm sure a couple people here live there. Meant to be going next weekend to potter about so I wondered if there was anything around that's decent aside from all the uni buildings
Would recommend a bit of a stroll down Cowley Road and trying some of the pubs down there too. The Library used to be my favourite down there or there's one in the back lanes off Cowley Road called The Rusty Bicycle which was just around the corner from where I used to live. If you've got time then a trip to the Ultimate Picture Palace off Cowley Road is worth it as well, somewhat uncomfortable seats but you can get a couple of beers or ciders in from the bar at the back.
If you want a decent view of the spires I'd say head to South Park on Headington Hill.
