Missing the homeland, or just after an old-fashioned pint at old-fashioned prices (& perhaps a game of darts)?

Opposite the Crown House, east Oxford's Irish social club (see Shamrock bar, below), the Swan is not for the faint-hearted - but once adopted by the publicans, you'll find it warm and friendly. Does not accept cards.
