With brightly colored modern art lining the walls and industrial retro chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, The Oxford isn't your standard British pub. Instead, this Sunnyvale tavern picks up the most beloved elements of traditional British pubs and transforms them with innovative details.

For example, you can order fish and chips here, but you'll enjoy dipping each bite in a thoroughly modern pickled veggie tartar sauce, and eating a plate of organic crispy kale with herbed yogurt on the side. Add a pint of dry British cider, or a classic Bass ale and you've got a hearty, satisfying meal. Regulars note that this place is family friendly and the popular kids menu features plenty of tasty options (try the creamy mac 'n cheese), so keep this place in mind next time you want to take the whole family out for dinner.
