The Musketeer

You'll find The Musketeer tucked away on Ruscote Avenue, the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar on a Tuesday afternoon and nobody blinks twice. It's got that lived-in feel—wood, warm lighting, the sort of pub where conversation actually happens without everyone staring at their phones. The real draw here is the drinking: they know their beer, the staff aren't pretentious about it, and you'll find decent cask ales rotating through alongside the usual suspects. Food-wise, it's honest pub fare that doesn't try to be something it's not. This is where Banbury comes to be itself.
