    September 2022: what a fantastic selection of ales, cask and bottles! Loved it here. Dog friendly, great staff and chilled atmosphere. We had Chimay Brune (red) and Rudgate (York) Chocolate Stout

    Incredible old-school pub As great as city centres are, I often wish for a traditional pub to have a few drinks. Thankfully someone recommended the New Oxford to me and I'm so glad they did! The New Oxford is the epitome of what a pub should be, great selection of drinks, good craic and welcoming for all. The pub itself whilst small, packs an impressive selection of beers on tap, from a wide variety of breweries, as well as an good selection of Belgian Beers (which are not for me, but it's great to see the offering for an otherwise overlooked beer). The staff were attentive, polite and knew how to pour a proper pint. You can also tell they look after the lines, glasses and kegs, something which many pubs overlook. If you're in Manchester or Salford, I couldn't recommend stopping in for a pint enough - well worth a visit! Keep up the great work!!

    I was going through an emotional time with my twin sister and then was refused drinks. When I asked why, they told me I was too drunk?? I said bye and the guy with long hair behind the bar told me to ‘fuck off’. Awful service. Will not be returning.

    One of the best selections of beers you will find anywhere in the North West. Great service, plenty of outdoor seating, great pub 👍

    Busy Friday evening session. Pub eas buzzing. However, only one poor barmaid running the entire show. She was working flat out. The range and quality of beers was excellent as always.

    A great pint of Guinness (quite expensive though) after a recommendation from Niall, although very tempted to try the many other drinks on offer. Nice seating area outside and welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. It was my first visit but certainly not the last.

    This is a legendary pub that has been part of the Manchester/Salford scene for many years. You won't find a better choice of real ales in the area. Indeed, the Midlands is probably next stop if you want to match it on beer.

    Friday evening drinks. Small pub, but the beer selection is out of this world. Good seating and tables. Proper pub, just like they used to be, and just like they should be. Authentic pub toilets with comedy condom machine - a rarity.

    Great atmosphere only surpassed by huge selection of quality beers. Table service possibly slightly over 'keen' at busy times when there are lots of regulars waiting.

    Best Pub in Salford by a country mile. Great ales, good selection of lagers, always somewhere to sit and always a good experience.

    Only one staff member serving at a busy bar on a Saturday but other than that great selection of beers and very reasonably priced.

    Only my second visit which seems daft as this is a cracking pub and a mecca for real ale drinkers. It is only a few minutes walk over the Irwell into Salford. The beer selection did not disappoint. I had a lovely pint of Wigan Brewhouse Soul Train. Really friendly pub on a lovely little square.

    This is the best pub in the whole of greater Manchester and I will meet anyone in Bexley Square for a fight who disagrees with me. Incredible selection of beers, appropriately priced for 2022 in a world of soaring supplier costs, the staff are unbelievably friendly considering I’m always smashed cos the beer is so good, great seating area outside, incredible juke box…all in an absolutely 100/10 boozer setting, can’t recommend enough. I’m done

    The New Oxford way; when you spend an evening enjoying all manner of beers and ales to realise 10 deep that it's only been 2 hours and half of them have been over 7% and you can no longer see your feet

    Excellent pub been going for years. Great staff well run and a good choice of beers. Don't get there as often as we would like . I think my liver is thankful for that .
