Why it's great for Matchdays

Its central location near landmarks like the Bodleian Library and the Bridge of Sighs makes it a convenient spot for football fans attending matches at the nearby Kassam Stadium. The pub offers a range of Greene King beers, including their own brews like Flint Eye and Prior Life, providing a variety of options for patrons. While the pub's atmosphere is generally welcoming, it's advisable for away fans to check ahead for any matchday-specific guidelines or restrictions. The Turf Tavern's rich history and central location make it a notable choice for fans seeking a traditional pub experience before or after a match.

First visit to this Sam Smihs pub. Friendly staff and because of the nice weather we sat outside. So I was able to do this review on my phone 😀
A simple Samuel Smith's pub with delicious, cheap beer. £2.80 for a pint of XXXX Best amber ale. I really liked the rules (no children, dogs or digital devices) as well. Good service and a buzz of conversation from the regulars at the bar. NB I'm only rating the beer, not sure if they serve food.
Cheap beer, sat outside in the sun on the many benches.
Very welcoming friendly pub with very low priced beers but as with all Sam Smiths pubs there's rules which must be adhered to. But no probs at all I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area,by the way if you like stout give it a try it's absolutely gorgeous and at £2.30 a pint it would be rude not to.
The pub is lovely and the staff (especially Beverly) were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be returning!! Thank you
