McCafferty's Irish Bar, Bicester

Nice enough bar on a major street, as the name suggests it's an Irish bar, so the drinks are as expected, Guinness and bottled red ale. All the usual wines and spirits are available. I frequented the pub on a Saturday lunchtime and it was moderately busy and seats were available. The drink prices were in keeping with the other pubs in this area. Set in an area with shops, cafes and other pubs with Bicester Village railway station an easy 12 minute walk away.

Great venue. Service was amazing...asked four times within a minute and half about being served ..staff were friendly and welcoming. Good election of beers and open late too.

Popped in there for a drink with a friend and he was asked to remove his cap. After doing so he noticed there was another gentleman already by the bar wearing one, when simply pointing it out to the same member of staff (who seemed to be trying to act as some sort of manager) he was told ‘don’t tell me how to do my job’. To which he clarified he wasn’t, he was simply pointing out someone else appeared to be happily being served while wearing one. The member of staff then said it was her mate wearing the cap so he was allowed to wear it in ‘her’ pub and my friend needed to ‘sort his attitude out’. Felt extremely sorry for the poor other member of staff who looked visibly embarrassed by the behaviour on display. Would recommend trying to be more pleasant with visitors who aren’t her friends and if she removes the chip off her shoulder she may even make some new friends…
