The Dewdrop is my go-to spot whenever I’m in the area. It’s got everything you want in a good pub—friendly staff, chill atmosphere, and solid food. The outdoor space is great for a sunny day, and even when it’s busy, there’s usually enough room to snag a seat. The menu’s got all the pub classics, and they’re done right—nothing too fancy, just good, honest food. The drinks selection is decent, with a good mix of beers and wines, and there’s always something new to try. Plus, the staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home, which is always a plus. I’ve been there for trivia nights, casual drinks, and just about everything in between. It’s one of those places where you can pop in for a quick pint or settle in for a longer hang without any fuss. If you’re around, definitely give The Dewdrop a shot—it's got that nice, laid-back vibe that keeps you coming back.

My visit to Dewdrop was fantastic! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The drinks were top-notch, with a great selection to choose from. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. The chairs were especially comfortable, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy the time there. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I’m looking forward to returning soon!

Unless you carry your passports (which no one does), apparently Europeans cannot order alcohol here!! They did not serve us alcohol even after we showed our European national ID and driving licence. We were told they were not valid forms of ID. And then the waiter was incredibly rude by making us take the food ourselves, instead of bringing it to us. Ruined our night and never coming back - this is up-front discrimination and prejudice!!

Took a Sunday roast here yesterday and was extremely disappointed. After a not so warm welcome, my order arrived quite soon. So disappointing. It was luke warm, with undercooked hard parsnips and something in the green veg, very very dry roasted potatoes and a mustard which I just had to pile more and more on to try to get any heat and taste out of (unsuccessfully - tasted and looked like nasty, mass-produced, catering bulk buy refill product). The beef itself was okay. At least I had a good view of the match at my reserved table. For £18 I don't think I'll be returning.

We're Americans temporarily living in Oxford and were looking for a great neighborhood restaurant for us and our kids and this is it! Great pub with a really great beer selection including real ales, lagers, pilsners, as well as more modern IPA's. We've been here about 5 times now and the food is always great! The staff is super friendly and the pub itself is very nice, has more modern styling, and has a great, relaxed vibe weekdays and weeknights. Can't say enough good things about these guys...looking forward to warmer weather to get on the patio and garden!

Ordered seafood pasta with shellfish. Not sure if the place is a chain or privately owned. Food was average. Received prawns and calamari tentacles, no other fish or shellfish. I think staff know it’s not a great dish as would not collect plate while I stayed to finish my wine. No clams, no muscles. Tomato based was clearly brought in and the calamari was frozen. I would have spoken to the manager but he looked over a few times but never came over. Nice atmosphere but very dark. Couldn’t read the menu without my phone torch. Nice place though.

Who I presume to be the bar manager was extremely rude. I didn't see a dark sign, in a obscure place in a dark place and he got rude that I didn't see it outside at night time. I have been there quite a few times and always smoked in the same area. I didn't realise there was a designated area. He could have been polite. He should go on a customer service course. I think he may have been ginger so maybe he had a complex? Who knows. The reference to his hair was so you know who it was. I understand he has no control over it. From my experience the red heads were bullied quite severely and bullying does generally affect a person who undergoes it. I don't mind what colour his hair is.

A poor Sunday Roast! I just had the Dew Drop's Sunday roast, the first thing to question was the lack of a beef option? On a lot of levels I understand why, but I don't think that was the reason, I think that this is just about the cost to effort ratio. Now here is the entire issue: it is the current trend to attempt to cook meat correctly. Not over-cooked, but reflecting more sophisticated food outlets. BUT, if your chef is rubbish, OR time and therefore cooking temperatures are a factor (and possibly not a good cut either) you end up with – in this case – near raw lamb. SO I REALLY DO NOT recommend The Dew Drop for a Sunday lunch! Pretty terrible sadly. The entire plate was a rush job and the pub was empty..? What a shame.

This is one of the only pubs in Summertown, and I think that may be a main reason people go. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is good. The food isn't great. I ordered a brownie (probably not the best choice for a pub) and it just wasn't great. I went here with some friends from my college, and many of them couldn't order drinks with their EU identification cards. Staff required passports which is alright, just most people don't think to bring their passport if they have other valid ID which can be frustrating. I think it's a fine spot for a pint, but I don't think I would recommend it
