The Oak is located on Dame Street and is connected to Thomas Reads.
It would be the more casual of the two pubs, Thomas Reads being it's
trendy big slapper sister. It is very small and can get crowded but
this adds to it's cosy atmosphere. Music is played in the background
throughout the night but is not overly loud so as to drown out the
conversation. The pints are reasonable and taste good while the barstaff
are efficient and friendly. It is not really a place to go with a group
but ideal for a pint or two with a friend before going on the tear.
A lively young crowd where talking is the name of the game. Both pubs have a similar type crowd, mainly 20 somethings with good jobs or students with money. A good pub.
