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/2023/10/eagle-and-child-sold-but-will-continue-as-a-pub/?fbclid=IwAR0hoOs5UXrLJWFrldd7iFL4mp2FvkouNN9AQhXG C_uPMwVK2fXLCvyYZsw

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.

This is indeed good news! It is definitely on my bucket list.
