The Morrisey House, London On.
Set to open today, July 15th.
This is located on Dundas where the Oxford Arms used to be. They have added a very large patio out front.
They are going to be offering a wide variety of imports, with Ontario micros as well as rotating micro taps.
This is the latest in a string of pubs/bars opening in London that are serving craft/micro beer. Hopefully this is a sign of great things to come for the forest city beer scene. I'll be stopping by today and will post a review this evening.

Ok. This is a neat little place.
Offerings included Mill Street, Nickel brook, Hacker Pschorr, Palm, Okanagan Springs, Tennants, Newcastle, Creemore just to name a few.
Pretty solid tap line up for London, and plans are to expand.

The closing of the Oxford arms almost certainly had to do with bad management. At one point they offered lots of great beer, and by the time they had to close, they had 1 or 2 beers on tap, usually Steelback. I don't think it had much to do with location either. The Morrissey House is packed every night.Derek wrote:I liked the Oxford Arms... we actually had our going-away party there when I left London. What happened to that place?
Great atmosphere (like a big living room in a victorian home). Perhaps it was the location? But then why open another pub in the same spot?
Reps and industry folk have told me that the old owner didn't pay his rent, bills, or for his beer for that matter. Last I heard, he was into Steelback for a few thousand dollars before he closed.

I'll swing by to check out your set. By chance will you be spinning some Tech-Step D & B?

Doesn't seem like one of those Bad Ideas I've heard about, in fact, I'd say it's pretty good. I will have to scout the location beforehand and find out what they have on tap...SteelbackGuy wrote:Maybe a few London Bartowellers want to arrange meeting here on the 24th to support not only a new local bar and local beer, but also a fellow bartowel Dj?

Cool, let me know!
This week they have Plowman's, Tankhouse, Creemore Lager, Steamwhistle, Belhaven's Best, Bavaria 1516, Newcastle, Guinness and more on tap, and the bottles are from Nickel Brook, Mill Street etc. The atmosphere is cool there!
