We created Witney’s best-loved craft beer micropub

The Crafty Pint taproom is lovingly run by Mel. In July 2023, Mel was manager of Crafty Pint’s predecessor bar. Having already built an incredible community centred around a love for great craft beer, it was time for Mel to take the reins!

Our friends and supporters rallied around and together we reopened as The Crafty Pint. With a renewed focus on sourcing the best craft beers and real ales from across the country, while still supporting our local friends, the Crafty Pint is now the home of Craft Beer in Witney.

Tales from happy crafty punters

AJ

Great selection of beers, wines & spirits and incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Dog friendly and charity quiz each 1st Thursday of the month.

Jack

Amazing pub. Beautiful local beers. Tidy, pretty, amazing outdoor sun trap. Perfect. Enough said.

John

Lovely bar. Popped in as I was passing by and tried a couple of tasty craft beers. They change their selection frequently apparently, and the ones I tried tonight were certainly top notch. Friendly folk behind the bar and nice punters in front of it too.

Shaun

It's all about the beer. A good beer selection is always available and a nice stout that is not Guinness. Friendly and accommodating. Limited seating inside but more available outside.
