Three Goats Heads, Oxford

The Three Goats Heads is a stunning town-center pub. Entering by way of precarious stairs, you find yourself in a light, airy, but somehow suitably seedy cellar bar. The curious German lager they sell is both cheap and tasty, and makes for suitable fuel for a good night out. The boudoir-like upstairs is dominated by red velvet—this is certainly the place to visit if you want to linger over your beer. They're not known for serving real ales, however.
