The Oxford Arms

This pub, set onto one of the busiest high streets in London stands out the most among all other pubs. The late night entry means entering on a Saturday night at midnight means fast service at the bar and clean porcelain in the toilets. Crazy expectations I know but its there! OK there are no seats at such an hour but the music is in good taste though the drinks are badly priced. The surprise in this pub is the room to maneuver your pint. Even at a peak time there is free flowing of body movement and little or no interaction with beerly neighbours on usually offending tables. Little else to speak of.
Overall amidst the expectations of this author at 5/10
Please see above a very accurate map of this pub location. Do not trust other sites that put pubs in the wrong place, I have actually visited this pub and unless it has grown legs it sits exactly where shown on the map above.

This is a really good pub except one thing: the security needs to learn about intelligent communication. We were outside and they forced us inside aggressively like we were doing something wrong instead of saying: “can you guys go inside please? we need to close the terrace.” Simple. Also, at the door we were told the place was full however it was very quiet. We only got in because 2 people left. Disappointing, really. It needs a change.

I went there on Saturday night with 6 friends, and we got searched when entering, so the bouncer took the bottle of vodka (which I wasn’t trying to sneak in the bar but was just gonna drink afterwards) I had in my bag, telling me that he was gonna give it back to me when I leave.
We then… stayed and drank in there for like an hour and a half, and… See more when leaving, the bouncer told me she just tossed (or kept!?) my bottle.
I then went to chat with her, the bouncer explaining the problem, and she litteraly ignored me, saying she didn’t do anything wrong as it is illegal to carry alcohol in the streets, before getting back in the bar while telling the bouncer not to let me back in.
WHO THE FUCK does this cow think she is?!!
