The City Arms - Oxfords Best Sports and Student Pub

Story

A welcoming and informal bar in a student area, open from breakfast ’til the early hours. A great place to relax, meet new friends and join in activities such as quizzing and retro-gaming. It is also an ideal place to watch the big games on TV whilst eating and drinking from street food influenced menus

The students are back!!! They bring noise, energy and laughter not to mention the hilarious effort they put into their themed outfits. It's great to have them back. The pub lays on entertainment and activities most nights of the week and I've noticed they've also refreshed the menu which offers something for all tastes and pallets. Unfortunately the loyalty points scheme is now over but there are alternative options for the students. The selection of guest beers and ales offer a fantastic choice to work through. You are also invited to try before you buy to ensure you're satisfied with your purchase. The Cocktails deals are very popular too. The beer garden is cosy, well lit at night and is also screened off from the busy main road. Outdoor heating and a big screen TV adds to the home from home atmosphere. The staff work extremely hard at serving and managing the heaving crowds throughout the week and often spend their days off mixing with the Punters, which is a testament to the fun and vibrant venue we all enjoy.
Bottomless brunch is 25pp which is really good value for money. There was a big group of us and we were often asked it we wanted another refill of cocktails which is great. Good service over all, would come again.
Decent student pub but nothing to write home about. Drinks were quite cheap, and they have most spirits. However, the food was a disappointment. Took ages to arrive and half of it was cold. Nice atmosphere but the music can be a bit overbearing at times and you have to shout across the table.
Not a bad place to watch the football, but you'd be doing yourself a favour to eat before coming. The burger was so dry and so tasteless, it felt deliberate. A burger so shamelessly barren has to be seen to be believed see photos.
The staff were rude and sarcastic, while bringing our food out, caught the bar man putting hands into our food & eating our chips. Had an argument to get our money back. I definitely wouldn't eat there again. However door man was really nice and went out of his way to make you feel comfortable.
Great food , quite poor service to start, gluten free isn't the same as vegan, amongst other things... Drink service improved. Had a good time though.
Had a great time at city Arms this afternoon, out for a families birthday staff was very good and quick 14 on a bottomlessvruch can't be easy food came out hot and tasty. Would defo go again. Good choice in menu co.pared to other places.
Amazing service and very good value for money. Staff are lovely! would 100% recommend for work parties and board meetings - birthdays also very well accommodated
Great for vegan/vegetarian diners. Literally ate every scrap of food on my plate. Great customer service. Thay were very helpful as I navigated my wheelchair bound companion into the pub. Excellent British Pub.
Went to the pub in the evening- meanwhile the bouncer on the door wouldn’t let us in unless we had student ID’s- eventually we got in even though we had valid ID drivers liscences! Once we were in one of the bouncers was acting very unprofessionally and was hanging around my girlfriend and her friends making them feel uncomfortable- I went up to see what the issue was and then was pressured to leave- the bouncer clearly thinks he works for MI5 or something!!
