BEST PUBS IN OXFORD

Here are some of our favourite traditional Oxford pubs

 

The Bear Inn

Location: 6 Alfred St

Classified as one of the oldest pubs in Oxford, dating back to the 12th Century. This Traditional low-ceilinged pub is known for its creaky floorboards and large collection of cut-off ties. A must see for those who appreciate history. They are currently operating a large outside area.

NIGHT CLUBS IN OXFORD

Hanks

Hanks was born from a dream of delivering the good things in life. Great drinks, good fun and late nights.

Hanks wants to offer a place where memories of the best nights out are created, talked about for years and fondly recalled; where you go for one drink after work and end up staying all night; where the drinks are exceptional and the people are everything.

Plush

Oxford’s Premier LGBTQ+ night club and bar. Amazing atmosphere, unbeatable parties and the best cocktails around!

Thirst Bar

Friendly, late night independent cocktail bar, situated on Park End Street in the heart of Oxford since 1999.

Split into four areas. The main bar as you enter has a huge selection of cocktails included in our famous Stupid Hour and an awesome range of spirits. Adjacent is the opulent chill out lounge available for bookings. We have a large heated outdoor terrace with plenty of comfy seating that also has its own bar and is covered to deal with the English weather. Back inside the dance floor regularly hosts DJ’s, so order those shots and get your dancing shoes on, it’s going be a late one.

MUSEUMS IN OXFORD

The Ashmolean

The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. Our world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and across time.

The Pitt Rivers

The much-loved Pitt Rivers Museum is unlike any other. Founded in 1884, it houses within an atmospheric building more than 500,000 objects, photographs and manuscripts from all over the world, and from all periods of human existence. Within these are exceptional objects of ritual significance, and objects made for tourists or trade.

The Natural History

Oxford University Museum of Natural History holds an internationally-significant collection of natural history specimens and archives in a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture. It is home to a lively programme of research, teaching and events focused on the sciences of the natural environment.
