    A fantastic addition to quinpool. Very long overdue to have something like this in the area. Place looks amazing with some great features and has a fantastic atmosphere. Seating is just downstairs at present but will be upstairs very shortly. Had a well stocked retail store attached too. Staff were super friendly and accommodating and there is a good selection of great tasting beer.

    Their patio might just be one of the best in the city. They have spent a fortune so please support them with your business. The beers are incredible, see the pic! Incredible staff too. One of our fave places in the city. Note: they don't do food but you can order take-out from any of the local places and eat it with your drinks, they even encourage that.

    There is a real community vibe about the Taproom with students finishing homework next to musicians playing Traditional music. Come on Wednesday nights to hear more!

    A wonderful place to spend some quiet time enjoying a large variety of craft beer and cider. They are also partners with neighboring restaurants and you can order food and then bring it in to eat. There is a lot of natural light and decorated with local art and novelties. It’s really spacious with lots of seating on the first and second floors. I really like the merch, too.

    Has a great patio that I'd love to try out next time since it was partly covered! Good drink options.

    It's a good thing their alcohol is so incredible because their customer service sucks. The young girl who helped me pick out a beer didn't know the difference between a stout or an ale, made my choice all about her with comments like " i would never buy a bottle..." "I think Guinness is like a meal". She told me they were out of a type of a beer...wintervention chocolate......when there was one right there in the cooler. Such an inability to focus on a customer's needs rather then her own preferences.

    The craft beer was good. What made the visit were the wait staff. My waitress was friendly and attentive. She also ordered and delivered a snack from KOD next door.

    Our home pub and a great place to stop by at any point during the week! The beers are award winning and the staff is even better! They have some limited, but great snacks like the chicken Samoas and do allow you to bring food in from outside! Their back courtyard on a nice day is usually full which makes for a great atmosphere!

    I was here for a friend's birthday and it was a great time. The atmosphere of the party room was very relaxed and chill. The servers were friendly and helpful. They had many beer on tap and I was able to try several (Pucker Up, Blackberry Bonita and Georgia Peach) all of which were I enjoyed. They also had lots of non alcoholic options (coffees, tea, sodas). I definitely recommend this place for a party or event!

    I went to get a coffee this morning and it’s delicious! Great service, kind conversation and a good brew of coffee made for a solid 5-star review!

    Had a great evening here on St. Patrick's Day. The Oxford Tap Room is very dog friendly. Our 9 pound poodle got to meet Eugene the St. Bernard. Staff were great, so were the patrons. Dropped in again when our daughter was visiting. Did some flights on the deck on a nice sunny afternoon. It was great to be able to have tasters of all the different beverages. Unfortunately had to leave as a couple of dog owners could not stop their dogs from barking and whining. As a dog owner, it was annoying to have to listen to it the entire time. Not the fault of the staff or the dog, it was the dog owners for not correcting or removing the dog from the situation. Need the three bark rule, three barks and you're out!

    West ender Cafe is fantastic, delicious coffee and nice atmosphere in the Oxford taproom. I live in Scotland part time and it's nice to see places allowing doggos in taphouses. Hopefully someday food is allowed in dog friendly places (it's been happening in Europe a long time and it doesn't seem to be unhygienic). Until then though, the beer us great, the coffee is delightful and the atmosphere is fantastic. Wish I was here to see it all opened up in the summer.

    Great selection of beers. Dogs are allowed which is sometimes annoying. It would be cool if the partner restaurants would deliver, so that you didn't have to leave to get food.

    Everytime I go here, our servers are always very helpful and kind. The drinks are delicious. They don't sell food but allow you to bring in food from outside to eat in the building. Overall, it is a great place to hang out with friends and drink some tasty alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

    Stopped in here for a tasting flight. Great place to try beer. Although I didn't like all the beer that I chose for my flight, I did find a beer that I really enjoyed. That's the great part of a tasting flight. This taproom also has a beer store attached. I'll definitely be back for some great tasting beer.

    Enjoyed a few drinks this evening with my partner, and a friend visiting from away. The patio is the perfect location for a few pints, it's so quaint and fun. You're allowed to bring food from local places onto the patio to enjoy with your meal which is just awesome! Our server Steph was great, fast and attentive. The drink selection here is awesome, with a lot of variety. The Oxford Taproom is definitely a sweet spot I would recommend to anyone

    So vibrant! This local spot is full of good cheer, and great people. The staff are kind and attentive, and the place is so gorgeous! The beer choices are amazing, and the kombucha flavors are out of this world! I highly recommend that you drop by for a pint or some cans.

    I asked for a flight tray, bartenders choice, and wasn't disappointed. They did a good job asking my likes but I like to try anything. The beer tasted great. The service was fantastic. All the staff chatted and checked in on me and the place was decently busy. Prices were fair for craft beer. I'll be back to visit this gem
