      The Turf and Head of the River are right on the city centre.

        This was nice on my last visit a couple of years ago:

        In the town centre The Bear in Bear Lane was great in my day.....It's 30 years since a bit of my tie joined hundreds of others on the wall. I wonder if it's still there? A couple of miles out The Trout is rightly well known, and in a lovely riverside setting:

          The Turf is quite nice. On a sunny day, Head of the River is nice too (if way too crowded).

          Further away from the city centre, there is also a nice pub in North Parade. Even further away: a very nice pub in Iffley Village (name escapes me, chips to die for). Ditto for Woodstock Village.

          Don't know many innner city pubs, but I had a lovely meal at the White Hart, just outside Oxford. You need to go by car/taxi, however - and take a map as it's quite hard to find if you're not familiar with the area
