Great pub, absolutely can't fault the food, service or anything else.
The pizza dough is probably my favourite in Oxford, out of the numerous establishments. The burgers are also well built and the options aren't too busy either.
The coffee also hits the spot to top it all.
You might have trouble parking nearby so plan accordingly at busy times.
Dog friendly local pub. We often take our American friends and family here when they visit from out of town, and everyone always loves it. The interior is comfortable and cozy, and the enclosed terraced beer garden is used tear round, with heat lamps and covered areas (bundle up in the winter though!) The menu is simple (pizza, burgers, chicken strips) but good with vegetarian options. My meat-eating husband says the burger is one of the best in Oxford. Clientele is a mix of families with kids, students, and locals / old timers (it maybe varies depending on the day/time, although it does seem there are more students lately it’s still a good mix). Quiz night can be crowded, but otherwise can usually always find a spot.
Great place, can't imagine not having it nearby! My favourite pub in the area. Great fries, pizzas, burgers. And you can reserve tables if and when you're having a get-together. Secondhand books with a bit of masking tape with your name act as the reserved signs. I had Tennyson and Dickens. Top marks.
Nice pub in the neighborhood. Outside seating, in the shade in the afternoon. Good selection of beers and food (burgers and pizza) they offer a weekday deal £5 margarita pizzas and they are delicious, fresh ingredients, great sauce, tasty sourdough crust
The Rusty Bicycle is a wonderful pub found in the middle of a residential area with a few shops nearby.
A long pub, there is a real fire and a few wooden tables and benches to the left as you enter, with the bar and more seating to the right.
This is a warm and friendly pub with a nice selection of craft and traditional beers on tap plus all the usual beverages.
Went for the Arkells Best Bitter Beer (3B) which cost £4.50 a pint and slipped down nicely.
[Check out the unusual beer taps on the wall behind the bar.]
This pub does not accept cash. Order and wait at the bar for drinks, food is delivered to the table.
Will definitely rerurn.
Good atmosphere, both inside and in the garden. Enjoyed a Dodo burger and chips which were well cooked. Excellent selection of beers and ales. Highly recommended!
Such a lovely pub with great staff and lovely food! We came at 15:00 which was still buzzing inside but all the orders were table service with flipping the menu to green if you want to order which was great. They did not offer burgers at this time but pizza was great! I think the tea could be tea leafs to reduce waste and sauces to not be on plastic container but other than this it was great! We used QR code to get the menu which was nice and truffle chips and Margarita was top notch! Having some student discount and booking system for current times could be a bit more helpful so that the place does not filled up but would love to come back again :)
Great little pub with good food. The burger bowls are brilliant and can’t understand why more pubs don’t do this. Great atmosphere and very friendly.
Incredible 'seoul bird' chicken burger. Amazing rosemary chips. Tasty pizza. Fast service and great experience. Will be back.
My own Oxford pub rating says it's the best friendly pub in the city.
Super nice homely pub. Staff are excellent! I was just passing through the area after reading reviews of where to get a nice pint and some grub and the rusty came up. Glad i visted this place. Lisa and Jamie were charming and caring, made my Monday blues into Monday woohoos. Will have to come back for their street party on the 29th.
This is a very nice community pub, child and dog friendly, with lots of versatile comfy seating (but they could fit a couple more tables in). Good selection of beer. I had the Mighty Veggie breakfast, which was very good (the leek and cheese fritter was a bit unnecessary, but the quac was a nice fresh touch and the sourdough bread was great!). Very nice smiley staff. Total thumbs up!
Excellent local pub with delicious craft beers, my burger was 10/10 and I'm a tough judge, handmade pizza thin crust amazing, I would return often if I didn't live on the other side of the world.
We went to visit The Rusty Bicycle on it's famous BurgerMonday. We arrived after 6pm and the place was filling up. There were 7 of us plus two buggies and babies! We had a table waiting for us and just enough space for two highchairs. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
Once we ordered at the bar, the food was with us in 5-7 minutes and that's great when 7 of you are kids😁
We enjoyed the food enormously! Burgers were succulent and rosemary fries are the best in Oxford! All the kids finished their meal but we run out of time for desserts...That means we will be back soon!😃
I massively reccomend The Rusty Bicycle with kids or without. It felt like a great place to chill out after a long day...
And thank you for everything!
Tasty tasty burger, good size portion of fries too. Great selection of beers and nice staff. The outside beer garden is really well setup for summer or winter. Dog friendly too!
Make the most of the burger deal on Mondays or the happy hour 5-7 p.m. Mondays to Fridays as it can get quite pricy! You get what you pay for though!
