The Bear Inn is at 6 Alfred Street, Oxford OX1 4EH. Broad Street is home to the Bodleian and Sheldonian. Turl Street leads past independent coffee shops towards the Covered Market. Around High Street and Cornmarket, college visits, lunch and a pub stop are all within a short walk.
Food service can differ from bar hours. Look at the current menu and ask about tables before coming with a group. The pub can also confirm garden access, dog policies, children’s access and allergy information.
