''October 2009''': Has just reopened after refurbishment as a bar/gastropub with a promising menu. Food served 12-2.30 and 6-10, Saturday lunch till 3, Sunday lunch till 3.30; NB closed Sunday evening, all day Monday, lunchtime Tuesday.	Formerly the Magdalen Arms, this has been taken over by the [[Firkin Brewery]]. A fairly nice place during the daytime, with a pretty good range of food. Unfortunately, the day we went some of the food that was supposed to be hot was actually cold. Anyway, You'd go here for the beer, and perhaps (if you like that sort of thing) the ambience. There are two pool tables and lots of places to sit - some where the TV is well out of sight, and some where the TV is embedded in the wall next to the table. Looks like the music could go a lot louder than when we went.

Three '[http://www.frontyardcompany.co.uk/products/plantlock.html PlantLock]' combined bike stands and planters outside!	Loads of beers from pumps (house beers, in that I got the impression they don't change very often), and 4 draught guest beers from the barrels behind the bar. Also a great range of continental beers in bottles.

The Magdalen Arms has been given a thorough makeover by new owners. It's now less of a pub than a comfortable fine dining restaurant (though delicious cocktails are available as well). While it was cavernous and somewhat rundown, a new paint job has made it cosy; in addition, a curtain separates the more casual front room (and bar) from the rear, which is a somewhat more formal dining area. The food is just magnificent - a little fancy, perhaps, but not nouvelle cuisine. The menu changes daily and includes fresh local meats, fish, and produce, done to perfection and artistically presented. The owners and staff are extremely warm and welcoming as well, and happy to answer questions or suggest pairings from the impressive wine list. Overall a lovely dining experience and a needed addition to the East Oxford dining scene.
