Used to be a lot better for a quiet drink. Drinks aren’t as good as they used to be, but still not awful

Stumbled across this bar whilst making our way to dinner. Great modern cocktail bar with nice decor. Two bars are situated on different floors making the service quicker. Fantastic cocktail menu, lots of classics and new mixtures. It was happy hour early on Saturday evening so that was a bonus, drinks were £5, otherwise cocktails started at around the £8 mark. Good place for gatherings and tables can be reserved in advance. Great bar and I'll be returning.

Just happened to pop into OXO on a recent visit to Oxford, as it was across the road from where we had dinner. I'm so glad we did! It's beautiful, cosy feeling cocktail bar with beautiful ambience and atmosphere. The drinks were really good!
