There’s nothing standard about our beers

We work with some hop-tastic local micro-breweries to bring Cowley Road real individual brews.

‘A really good visit to a vibrant pub. Great mix of customers: students, couples, groups of girls and lots of footy fans all socialising together. Just like a proper pub should be - all things to all people! My wife left wishing she were younger, ‘if I were a student, I’d definitely use this all the time.' - Ed Passey, Punch Taverns

'Great Find!'

'Visited on a Saturday night for pre-dinner drinks. Welcoming smell of mulled wine was great. The welcome by the young man behind the bar was warm, heartfelt and genuine' - TripAdvisor

'People love The Cowley Retreat because it’s spacious, kept in great order, and welcoming. The food is delicious, yet very affordable – students love it. The service is great, helped enormously by having current and ex-students working there alongside other professionals.' - Henry Rudd, OBU Hockey President
