Bear Inn, Grade II listed pub in Alfred Street, Oxford, England
The Bear Inn operates from a small building with wood-paneled walls, brass bell pushes, and a front room containing a fireplace for winter months.
Originally established in 1242 as a coaching inn, the pub relocated to its current location at the intersection of Alfred and Blue Boar streets in the 1600s.
The establishment maintains strong connections with Oxford University students and alumni who regularly gather there for social events and celebrations throughout academic terms.
The pub serves traditional British dishes and maintains a selection of real ales, with opening hours from noon until late evening throughout the week.
The walls and ceiling display more than 4,500 clipped neckties in glass cases, collected since the 1950s when the owner exchanged half pints of beer for ties.
