INFO

The Bear Inn is one of the oldest pubs in Oxford (many say that it is the oldest pub in Oxford). With its low ceilings, tiny rooms, beamed ceilings and worn wooden floors, its historic atmosphere means that visiting it feels like taking a step back in time.

The Fuller's pub serves a range of real ales, including Fuller's famous London Pride and Horndean Special Bitter.

The Bear is a classic Oxford pub with a great atmosphere, though it can get very crowded, especially on weekends.
