The Cowley Retreat in Oxford

Great atmosphere quick and friendly service and in a popular area

Staff are great by the way. But the mens toilets are really quite nasty. As an establishment really need to sort out the loo's.

Not a great range of beers but it has a large outdoor area and garden which were absolutely rammed on a Friday night with youngsters

Only giving it 4 stars because it does smell like farts and only sell mojitos in a jug. As a fully grown adult that is nearly in her 50s I should know better than to hit cocktails. Becka was very capable of mixing those said cocktails snd for her troubles also was more than capable of booking a taxi home for us. Thank you Becka, keep up the good work 👍

Great pub, lots of seatings, outside and inside

Friendly staff I only went in there for the toilet but end up having a drink because the staff was so friendly towards me, will be back.☺

Great place great and delicious food!!

Made the mistake of visiting at the end of freshers and safe to say Never again. There were various spillages which we took to believing the toilets had overflown, later finding out it was vomit (yea lovely) the atmosphere here leaves much to be desired. Positives are the alcohol choice and staff are lovely.

Good place, decent atmosphere. But… Do you want the exact same food and drinks, for a lower price too, just go to Spoons.

I’ve been here a couple of times now in the last few weeks and the staff are just beyond amazing! A big shout out to the lovely lady with short hair at the front door, her enthusiasm and strive to ensure everyone is happy and their needs are met is beyond me. The beer, cider and variety of shots are just *chefs kiss* and don’t get me started on how beautiful the garden ambience is! Definitely my favourite pub
