Think premium pub, top-notch wines, cracking pints and cocktails done right — all served in the best pub garden in Oxford. The Red Lion is a stylish, dog-friendly pub with outside space in the centre of Oxford, boasting charismatic interiors and cosy nooks for all your future catch-ups – not to mention a wide range of carefully selected real ales, lagers, and wines. We also have some of the most delicious pub menus you’ll find in this historic city, tempting you to join us for a pre-theatre meal before catching a show at The Oxford Play House and The New Theatre. There are rumours that we’re also the best pub for after-work drinks and large group bookings, especially since we have charming and chic private hire spaces available for those big events… Need a quiet space and plug sockets for a work meeting? Naturally, Oxford’s history is waiting to be explored from our very doorstep, as we’re near to the awe-inspiring Oxford Castle & Prison, Oxford Castle Quarter, Carfax Tower, and the intriguing sights of The Story Museum.
