This was, at one point, a fantastic pub owned by Morrell's (but still great) and run by Eddie somebody or other. People not familiar with [[Jericho]] may find it a little difficult to navigate through to The Bookbinders. Going north along [[Walton Street]], walk past The [[Oxford University Press]] and [[Freud's]] and before you get to the [[Phoenix Picturehouse]] take the left along [[Jericho Street]]. At the end of the road, Victor Street is immediately to your left. Visitors should be aware that the Bookbinders would be classed as a slightly eccentric pub (sorry make that very eccentric). If a pub with a bike, inflatable crocodile and a train set hanging from the ceiling is your thing, you might just want to settle down here. The selection of beers is fantastic but people searching for a non-hops-based drink may find better offers elsewhere. The staff are slightly odd and I'm not sure if this is due to excess consumption of the profits or simply the atmosphere of the pub. Oh did I mention the free monkey nuts? Beware of the toilet doors. *Quiz night Tuesdays 9pm. Proceeds go to Marie Curie Cancer Fund *Live Jazz Mondays <b>Ray</b> sez: The Bookies definitely went downhill when Greene King took over and Eddie left. The new landlord was very friendly, but the brewery wouldn't let him sell nice beer. So the pub lost a lot of custom, the brewery charged horrendous rent, and the nice new landlord realised he couldn't make a go of it. A new guy took over a few weeks ago - he's trying to be friendly but perhaps trying too hard.... That said, the brewery does seem to be giving him more freedom in the beers he serves: I had a nice (read "not Greene King") pint there last week. On the food side, it still does a reasonable range of standard bar meals at about GBP 5.95. address='Victor Street' category='Live Music,Pubs' |
