Sam Smith?s only pub in Oxford opened in 1987 having been a pizza restaurant and previously a corn merchant. It is unusual, with steps up from the street to the upper bar and steps down to the basement bar. The bars are linked internally by another staircase. Upstairs is more plush than the basement, which is open only at busy times. The pub has an impressive interior with an opulent ceiling, good tiling and massive, ornate columns. There are architectural drawings of the building on the walls, as well as three goats' heads. The pub serves real ale and meals.
