The Oxford Bar in Edinburgh

Interesting place with good beer and friendly staff

Really welcoming staff. Throw back to real pubs from yesteryear. Nice pint of Deuchers IPA to finish off a day walking the streets of Edinburgh. Free bookmark was a nice touch too. Was that one of Mr Rankin's ideas?

Great pub with a mixture of tourists and friendly locals. Belhaven went down a treat!

Good old bar good selection of beer and whisky, good friendly staff

All good and cosy with the coal fire on in the lounge area

Well it was a lovely nightcap to a lovely trip! We stopped in close to last call but never felt rushed. Lovely conversation on a slow Monday evening with Katie (don't call her Katy. They're her enemies) about everything and nothing in particular. She has a kind hand for keeping the bar a positive spot. Met a few characters from Manchester and Dunedin who rightously defended the honor of Drambuie. All around brilliant place although we never left the bar itself it has a great, lived in atmosphere. Stop in here.

Lovely, friendly real ale pub. Welcoming staff. Superb, well maintained interior. Highly recommended.

Great traditional pub in the heart of the city

Mid-afternoon, refused entry.''Oh.Are you fully booked?' 'Yeah.' 'OK, can I book for this evening?' 'Well, actually, we don't do bookings...' 'Ah OK, so it's pot luck?' 'Yeah.' Returned at 10pm, hoping for a nightcap. 'Sorry we're closed,' said the blonde, twenty-something barman, with a smirk on his face. Returned to hotel to check website: yup, Oxford Bar open until 1am. Went to Kay's instead. Lovely place, genuinely welcoming staff, great beer and very tasty rolls. Advice: give the Oxford Bar a miss, even if you're a Rankin fan.

The quintessential pub. Loved this place. It’s small but inviting. Walked into the bar and felt welcomed even though we weren’t locals. Struck up a conversation with everyone ... correction, they struck one with me. It was awesome. Please visit this bar. It’s not hip or modern, it’s authentic.
