Drinking in Oxford : Cafés

Gasping for a pint of ale? Or perhaps you're more of a white wine spritzer drinker? Whatever your tipple there's a wide range of watering holes to stagger into. You could even try one of our crawls.
It may be the student population, it may be something in the water, but Oxford is known for being a city of pubs.
Throw a stone in the city centre and you will almost certainly hit a drinking establishment.
They vary quite a lot in price, ambience and numbers of old men muttering into their pints, but variety is the spice of life, and us kind folks at Oxford City Life are here to help you sort through the dizzying (hic!) array.
