The Rusty Bicycle

I booked a reservation for a space at The Rusty Bicycle that I had to change last minute. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The venue itself is very cosy with nice decor and what I would describe as “good vibes”. Everyone in my party’s food was delicious and the drinks selection accommodated for all different tastes. Our service was excellent and all the staff were lovely.

I've been going to this pub for many years. Staff are welcoming, food and drink are great, and prices are reasonable. The Rusty is cosy in winter and there's an outdoor area that comes into its own in warmer weather. As with all Dodo pubs, there's a nice friendly vibe and it caters for a mix of people.

A wonderful local pub to have in the area. The food is amazing, cosy atmosphere (fires ablazin’) and staff are friendly. Whether you’re popping in for a quick pint or wanting to impress the in-laws with a scrumptious pub feast - this is the place! 😋

So, honestly I love the place but the food could be bigger portions. Got the Big D as a double and the Dodo but the double wasn’t as double at all 😅. They were good taste tho but not size wise. The inside looks very nice. 😊 Still recommending to go ❤️.

Happened upon this gem just off the Cowley Road on a freezing January Saturday evening. The log fire was welcoming and the Pizzas and Burgers are absolutely fantastic. 👍 I can't comment on the drinks unfortunately as I've started my dry January. 👎

My favorite place in Oxford for a Burger! When I tell you the burgers are so damn good🫣They have multiple options for meat, veggie and vegan!!! I can highly recommend their Impossinle veggie burger, it’s like a better tasting Mcdonalds!!! The service is really quick too, and on weekdays from 12-3pm they do a £10 deal for burger and chips or pizza 😍 The drinks are quite expensive but it’s a nice pub so it’s to be expected. But do yourself a favor and get down here because the burgers are insane x

Nice place, good vibe and the food was tasty. Could have been a little bigger portion size but I'm supposed to be losing weight so shouldn't complain. Will definitely be back.

Feels like a local pub. It was me and all the locals. Had the vegan/plant based burger with some chips. Good portion size. However, impossible to eat with hands without making an absolute mess. Not long wait time for food.

There was a running joke in our family for more than 6 years, that despite several visits and numerous walks-past, I hadn't enjoyed a pint at the Rusty B. I first came with my husband and sister-in-law years ago when I was expecting, enjoying the ginger beer, the ample space, and not much else. I had it on my list when visiting again, but never made it inside. Finally, this trip, I got several pints, a couple of pizzas, and a burger, too. Order at the bar (note that there are £5 burgers on Mondays! and monthly specials for the burgers and pizzas), and pick your spot. I enjoy the little huts in the back garden, past the creepy cupboard (which is handy for threatening misbehaving children), but with so much space in the main room and the lovely outdoor tables, practically every seat is a good one. The burger was quite good for the price. The portion on the sweet potato chips was quite generous, and they were lovely and crisp. I enjoyed the pizzas - L'Ala Falco with sausage, onion, fior de latte, the June special with chorizo and corn, the margherita, and the kids cheese - nice crust with just the right amount of char and chew. Looking forward to more visits and pints in the future! 2019 Reviews #24

I'm surprised this place hasn't had more reviews. It's an utterly brilliant little pub in a fast-improving part of Oxford. It's run by a couple of young men and they bring a true dedication to this business. Fabulous range and quality of beers and excellent, simple food. In times when other pubs struggle and go out of business this place is thriving and deservedly so. There are a number of these types of pubs that have appeared in Oxford These places have a good clientel who enjoy the atmosphere and the banter. It's like the re-invention of the pub with all the bad old thuggish bits taken out and the wonderful traditional bits kept in. This will be the saviour of the British pub which is otherwise under siege on all sides.

Had a Dodo boiyger + rosemary fries and let me tell you something... it changed my life. Most boiygers blend into one in my memory and I never miss one because I think "oh I can get this anywhere else". This boiyger though... a unique one of a kind tasting lil hotty. I wanna take this boiyger home and make it my wife, have kids with it and have brunch together and go on long walks together. I never wanna let another guy near this boiyger, I wanna grow old wit this boiyger and share fish and chips by the sea together! I wanna talk dirty to this boiyger, and smear it all over my body. Also just wanna say the "pizza dippin" sauce took me to another planet, I wanna bathe in this all day and adopt it as my own sun and let it know that it'll never be lonely. This meal made me feel okay about my the abyss and eventual end of all living things, I no longer care that I will one day cease to live. I no longer fear the entropy or the brevity of life. This boiyger changed my life, thank you so much rusty place. There was nothing rusty about my boiyger and the hotties that served me. Charming place. Come 2 Brighton please no food in Brighton compares.

Went here for brunch and was a little disappointed. the place is great but the food was underwhelming, very basic for the price and didn't live up to the fancy menu descriptions.

We're remiss to have given this place a review after living here for a year and a half already. This place is fantastic, off the beaten path of course between Iffley and Cowley Rds, but great food and great beer and drinks. The burgers are kick ass. Their sister pub, the Rickety Press in Jericho, is also another of our favorites. Highly recommended.

A wonderful pub, at least in the opinion of this Yank. Both beers we had were excellent, the burgers are among the best I've ever had, and the ambiance is lively and fun. What more can one look for in a pub?
