Grapes

7 George Street, Oxford OX1 2AT

First built in 1820 and rebuilt in 1879, this is a rare Victorian pub in the city centre. There is a single narrow panelled room, with the bar on one side and seating on the other, some separated by glazed timber screens. In the entrance there is some original tiling and signs. The pub reopened under West Berkshire Brewery ownership in April 2019 so it has a range of their beers and others from local breweries plus 12 beers from kegs.

Head of the River

Folly Bridge, Oxford OX1 4LB

Large pub converted from a warehouse on the banks of the Thames; the name was the result of a competition organised by the Oxford Mail and associates the inn with the finishing post for the Eights bumping races held on the river. The only city pub next to the river which may account for the high prices. There is a large paved area with awnings and marquees and a crane from its days as a wharf, and Folly Bridge is adjacent. Punts and boats can be hired here and the Salter’s pleasure boats, with their daily service to Abingdon, leave from the pier opposite. Internally the pub is relatively small, arranged over two levels. Extensively refurbished Feb/March 2017 and now opens 7am for breakfast.

House

11 Blue Boar Street, Oxford OX1 4EE

New cocktail bar in former restaurant with some bottled beers including Hook Norton and Leffe. Oxford Union members get happy hour prices at all times.

Jam Factory

27 Park End Street, Oxford OX1 1HU

This deceptively large bar and restaurant is part of an arts complex located behind the former Frank Cooper’s Marmalade factory. Frank Cooper’s famous and very successful recipe was actually his wife’s! There are several separate rooms, all with a modern, bright feel. The single bar serves Cotswold Brewery Lager (keg) and a good choice of beers from near and far on tap.

Jolly Farmers

20 Paradise Street, Oxford OX1 1LD

A popular gay venue for many years, the Jolly Farmers is an old building against the remains of the city wall. It claims to be 'the oldest continuous pub in Oxford'. The building dates from the late 17th century but the first record of it being a pub is in 1829. There are two small, low-beamed rooms and a raised area to the rear that leads to a terrace and small garden, now extended. Doesn't serve food but you can order in or bring your own.

King's Arms

40 Holywell Street, Oxford OX1 3SP

Something of an institution, the pub, one of a handful claiming to be the oldest in Oxford, has been on this site since 1607, the king in question being James l. It’s owned by Wadham College, whose students live on the upper floors. There are six rooms, including a dining room at the front; the pub is usually very busy, but the quieter and most atmospheric areas are the panelled back bar and the “office”, with its real fire and leather sofas, behind. Until 1973 a small bar with the entrance in Holywell Street was for men only. The only outside seating is a number of picnic tables on the pavement at the front.

Kiss Bar

37 Park End Street, Oxford OX1 1JD

Late night party venue. Open Friday and Saturday 9pm till 3am, and some Sundays (BH). Free entry but no beer.

Slug & Lettuce

1 Oxford Castle, Oxford OX1 2AY

Modern cocktail bar as part of the castle development, a large place with banquette seating and a separate restaurant area; there is a private room and a first floor terrace. Has some beer and lager on tap.

Malmaison

Oxford Castle, Oxford OX1 2AY

This new hotel is the conversion of the former prison; bedrooms are the former cells! There are two bars, one a basement brasserie with a courtyard garden, and the other on the third floor, a smarter cocktail bar. Both are architecturally interesting; the basement one shows evidence of the cells with thick stone walls, small windows and a brick vaulted ceiling. There are bottled beers available from local breweries such as Wychwood and Hook Norton.
