Not a site of the forum, but certainly a place that many Downers had frequented in the past, before it was closed, in memory of Tolkien's days there.
An announcement that the Bird and Baby will (eventually) reopen as a pub, keeping the famous rooms where the Inklings met regularly. https://oxforddrinker.camra.org.uk/2...wVK2fXLCvyYZsw

I'm glad to hear that they will be re-opening. It is such a nostalgic place. Hopefully the new owners will not change it, but leave it as it is.
