Nice old pub with friendly staff. Ever changing range of cask ales that are kept in very good condition and at proper cellar temperature. Also serving Keykeg and Keg beers, and ciders.

Friendly service and a large selection of ales, ciders and whiskey's. They have a large selection of Gluten Free Beers which is fantastic and they really talk to the breweries which means their knowledge of the beers is exceptional.

I was on the way to the farm and stopped to stretch the legs in Oswestry. I stumbled upon this establishment as lure of ale pulled me closer. To my dismay, one I got closer I spotted the presence of wrong'un flags draped from the windows. This included the South African LGTV flag and the Ukrainian flag. Simply poor taste for a traditional ale house opposite the marvellous town hall. Rectify this immediately!

A relaxing second visit to The Bailey Head on Tuesday 17 September 2024 after an earlier hospital appointment . The Bailey Head is situated in a traffic free market square. The range of quality real ales is outstanding with a varying series of guest ales including a dark real ale . We had a great Brass Castle Bad Kitty Vanilla Porter and on our previous visit we were impressed by the lovely dark ales . The Bailey Head has outdoor seating at the front of the building . The entrance leads straight into the bar area with a variety of different seating areas along the front of the building and then running down the left hand side with a further space to the rear. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable- The Bailey Head is rightly a Camra Good Beer Guide regular and is a regional pub of the year . Well worth visiting

The Bailey Head always has a great range of beers to enjoy. No TVs clearing away or loud music. We always head here when in Oswestry, normally a great range of stouts and normally an imperial one to sip!

Never been a regular at the pub. However, the owners have taken it upon themselves to send me a letter urging me to vote Lib Dem in the next election. Not sure why they have my name and address, but I do not appreciate it. Edit: Just wanted to comment on the irony of these two, clearly middle class, people, and their pricey drinks selection, sending me a letter like this. They couldn't have missed their target audience more.

A CAMRA award winning pub on numerous occasions over the years, not to mention many other local recommendations. This small community pub has been flying the "real & craft" ale flags consistantly for years. It hosts the best selection of beers for miles around, with great staff & service to boot. We've been visiting this pub for the last 10+ years and its consistancy is second to none. If you're ever up this way it is certainly worth a visit & highly recommended. Duncan & Grace the owners are lovely people & great hosts. Highly recommended. Note: Food is no longer available, but the eating of food inside the pub, but purchased outside is usually acceptable. (There is an Indian takeaway next door) Updated: 9/6/24

I can see why this is award winning. One of the finest real ale and craft beer pubs I've set foot in. A traditional looking pub, cosy with plenty of board games and a stunning beer menu which is also on Untappd. Friendly service, reasonable prices for craft too. Probably near on 20 different cask and kegs to choose from. Superb.

Bellissimo pub inglese con vastissima scelta di birre tipiche alla pompa. Tra l’altro hanno la Stonehouse Station che è prodotta nella contea di Shropshire ed è una delle migliori “best bitter” che abbia mai bevuto. Possibilità di bere anche all’esterno in quanto ci sono 4-5 tavoli a disposizione. Bella anche l’idea dei bicchieri personalizzati.

My disabled wife and I visited The Bailey Head in Oswestry for the first time on a sunny Saturday 17th June 2023. Note The Bailey Head no longer serves food , so it is a pub not a restaurant, but a note on its website states they will allow customers to bring in their own food . It took a little bit of hunting down as it is in a pedestrianised area in the centre of Oswestry. We were able to park wthin easy walking distance down from the pay and display car park, free after six o'clock at night, behind the Market Hall . The Bailey Head has six outdoor bench type tables under sun umbrellas in front of the establishment with the entrance at the centre of the building. The Bailey Head is the local area Camra ( Campaign for Real Ale) pub of the year and we were both very impressed with the quality , range and taste of the beers on offer. We had a lovely drink of Black Iris Myld Stallyns ( a dark mild) in beautiful condition costing £3.90 . The pub is comfortable with a large L shaped space wrapped around the bar but divided in smaller zones by interior beams . The team behind the bar were very friendly and informative and we soon we chatting with another customer . My wife , who uses a wheeled walking aid found access around the building to be very easy and the seating was very comfortable . The electronic beer list can be viewed on screens in the pub and can be seen on the Untapped website . Do be aware that some of the draught ales are Key Keg but they do have a wide range of handpulled real ales . A great real ale hostelry- highly recommended- looking forward to revisiting!

What you call a great local pub . . . real ales, and no sport on television ! Sadly it no longer does food, but there are plenty of local restaurants.

Closed on a Monday, but we went there every other night for the week we were there.

Quite simply, the best real ale pub around - and I have tried a few! A great selection of ales that change regularly and that are kept immaculately. I tend to potter in after a walk in the hills and this is always a welcome highlight. Incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff too.

Good vibes and a finely tuned atmosphere of 50s rock and roll music, old worldy building and knowledgeable guy on the bar who knew his beer and gin. We even had a tour of the mass of guest beers that are all pinned on the ceiling, apparently several hundred a year which says it all about this pub. This was a stop by on the way from Cardiff back to Manchester but we will return purely for the host (Tom? Jon?), friendly people and how purely comfortable we were made to feel and we might even bring Jake! (Our dog) The local amber bitter is apparently on all the time and I recommend it along side their 200 million gins

Wow, where do I start, thought I'd try a nice range of ales by ordering halves - not problem says the chap behind the bar, what types do you like? This took us on a magical journey of new ales through a lovely evening. Mmmm I'm a bit hungry I said to the landlord...ah he says, we don't do food but I can recommend the pizza place and the Chinese next door...went for the Chinese...as they delivered food the landlord delivered plates, knives and forks (all fully recyclable - I checked ha ha). A pro tip - this pub takes customer experience very seriously, take a few minutes (you'll need them) to peruse all the awards and certificates on they way in.

Our dogs were allowed in which was a nice touch too. Friendly, relaxed and chilled out music and they look after people who are at risk of covid by keeping masks when you're in the pub. at the end of the day and in the current climate this is exactly what people need. Its not a party pub, its a place to relax with staff who will make sure others wont mess about. 10/10

It’s a drinkers’ pub, a real connoisseur of ale, gin and cider pub. No ale or cider hangs around long as they have ever-changing brews from many (many) local suppliers (we are lucky with that here). There is food, too - again though a very select menu of local offerings designed as an adjunct to the main liquid event. Not to be missed, though, is the stupendous venison casserole and the ever-changing and imaginative vegan soup. It’s a great, no-nonsense pub with all the right attitudes. Ooh and the staff are terrific. We come here a lot - it attracts interesting people.

We had seen a few good reviews about this border town pub. However, upon our arrival, the woman behind the bar (we assumed the landlady) was somewhat surly, and not very welcoming, although she seemed fine with the locals. We felt it was a case of ‘if your face doesn’t fit ...’. We didn’t try any food, as a couple of our party said there was a strong ‘doggy’ smell in the pub, and indeed, there were dogs in there at the time.

After a days work what more could one want that a chilled glass of wine and a spot outside in the spring sunshine watching Market life go by. Why we love this place.... The wine is not the only thing chilled, the atmosphere is too... no noisy TVs, no elbows out at the trough of ping meal bars, no totally enibriated clients wishing to either fight you or love you. Just people chewing the cud of life with their hounds, they may have a parchante for a game of sedate dominos, they may wish to debate a bit of local politics but nothing gets out of hand. There is a gentle but firm, silent agreement that one behaves in a certain way and if you don’t it’s time to go home or just move on to a place which is better placed to accommodate more gagarious behaviour. And of course then there is the best stock bar in town, possibly in the country. Whatever your tipple you will not be disappointed.

An excellent selection of beers across can, keg and cask. Staff were friendly & knowledgable. Prices pretty reasonable. A good pub. Would definitely return if I was in the area
