  1. A

    Shakespeare

    As authentic a traditional bar as you're likely to find in these parts, this is the perfect local's boozer, complete with nicotine-stained walls, cosy snugs and a small corner TV to show the racing. Needless to say, the selection of beers and spirits is terrific. Not surprisingly, students love it too.

    Half Moon Inn

    Sports fans love this old-style bar for its devotion to the mixed pleasures of Sky Sports; we like it for its wonderful collection of whiskies and ales. There's a summer beer garden if you want to avoid the whoops and hollers of the armchair jocks.

    Swan & Three Cygnets

    This high-ceilinged riverside pub with courtyard tables overlooks the river. It also serves some pretty good bar food - usually fancy versions of standard bar fare like bangers and mash.
