What Justin G doesn't like about The Oval Tavern:
I visited this pub to see a great band, but unfortunately had a negative experience. The staff accused my girlfriend of stealing a drink, even though she had not even had her own. As a result, they refused to serve me. When I tried to calm the manager by placing my hand on his shoulder, he falsely claimed to the bouncer that I had punched him in the arm. It was a chaotic situation and I would recommend avoiding this... View all feedback. What User likes about The Oval Tavern:

read moreA comprehensive reviewer visited this pub for a variety of experiences, from a chaotic and dishonest service, to disgusting hygiene incidents caused by people allowing their dog to sit and drink from their pint. However, they praised the live music events and friendly atmosphere, with fabulous chips. The efficient service and great food and drinks were marred only by the bad smell in the ladies' restroom. The open mic nights were highly recommended with talented musicians. The cozy, music-filled venue offered homemade cuisine and a welcoming vibe, perfect for spending quality time. Overall, a lovely, atmospheric pub worth a visit.
Great time with good music and great service I highly recommend it!
