Real Ale less than £2 a pint in Oxford! Get there! Old 123, 04/12/09 The Slug and Lettuce chain has gone bankrupt so this bar has closed. Judging by the fate of a couple of other George Street venues I would suggest it will become a restaurant rather than another bar. Hopefully it will be an improvement! Joe B, 08/04/08 "I'm sorry mate, you have to have a collar" Who are they kidding? I was better dressed than the bouncer. To make matters worse I was wearing roughly the same ensemble during my previous visit when it didn't seem to be a problem. Whinge aside, it's a damn site nicer than Yates. But with all these things, you can paint it, rename it and rebrand it but you can you really ever change the clientelle? Nixx, 16/08/07 Oh happy days! Yates' is no longer! It's now a slightly less awful Slug and Lettuce chain pub. There is now more emphasis on eating and sitting down rather than fighting and aftershock slammers as it was previously. Advertised Fruli beer on menu but not on offer at bar which was annoying and service a little slow but much more convivial than before. Still not worth travelling into town for or coming here just for the food. Joe B, 28/05/07 I was forced into going here recently and was delighted to find that it no longer is a Yates's and has now been swallowed up by the marginally better pub chain juggernaut that is the Slug & Lettuce. The main changes seem to include a reduced chav quota and a more 'pubby' feel. There is plenty of seating with a definite emphasis on dining, especially upstairs. Wasn't particularly impressed to find that the fantastic Fruli beer that was advertised on the table menus was off but the overall selection of beers and spirits was very good. The music wasn't too loud either which was encouraging (which puts it one step ahead of Bar Copa which I went in straight afterwards). Overall, still only good-average, but better than before. Joe B, 30/04/07
