Details
An ornate tiled floor greets you in this classic 19th-century pub, a building dating back to 1889 and originally constructed for Hanley & Co. Ltd, City Brewery. The Royal Blenheim, run by Titanic Brewery, takes its name from one of the historic stagecoach services that once served Oxford. Tucked away in the city centre on Saint Ebbe's Street, it’s a haven for real ale enthusiasts, consistently earning Oxford CAMRA's City Pub of the Year award. You'll find a welcoming L-shaped room with a raised seating area, offering a prime spot to sample a wide selection of ales, with half from Titanic Brewery and the rest sourced from across the country.
Known for its keen prices in central Oxford, The Royal Blenheim offers a traditional pub experience. It's a place where locals, students, and ale aficionados gather, creating a lively atmosphere, especially during major rugby matches. While the focus is firmly on the excellent beer selection, including popular choices like Titanic Plum Porter, they also offer tasty bar snacks. The pub is conveniently located next to the back of Modern Art Oxford, making it an ideal stop after exploring the local sights. The building itself has a history connected to brewing, as it was once the 'square' room and stores for Hanley's brewery.
