A self-styled 'traditinal boozer', this is a two-storey, well-established rock music venue down another Medieval passageway off the High, and also accessible from Blue Boar Street. The ground floor area is the bar, with pool table and juke box, and music and comedy events are held upstairs. The music was curtailed during the 'covid' restrictions and the owners put in a planning application to convert the upstairs to student accommodation which saw mass opposition and was thrown out. There seem to be some events again but hard to find details online. A bit different from other Oxford pubs ('lively', 'unpretentious', 'a bit rough round the edges'), and none the worse for that.

Historic Interest

The original pub was built in 1654 behind 129 High Street, reached via a passageway 3 and a half feet wide and was known as the Hen & Chickens until 1761. It was demolished in 1896 along with 127 and 129 and rebuilt. A Morrell's then Whitbread pub, a free house since 2000
