Despite being the smallest College Bar, John's Bar is far from limited in its selection. Offering a permanent Real Ale and 2 Guest Ales, the bar and the Real Ale Society pride themselves on their selection and availability. In addition to the draught products, the bar offers a selection of bottled beers and ciders, and a decent spirit selection. Also available are the infamous college drinks; the Tripod and the Ginception...!

During term-time, John's Bar hosts events for students including Quiz nights and Open Mic Nights in partnership with John's Music Society. John's Bar hosts 'Brewfest', an annual beer-festival taking place in the summer, which showcases 12 Real Ale's and 4 Real Ciders, an afternoon of musical entertainment and food provided by a local establishment.
