Details

Oxford's unique skyline, with the historic spires of St Mary’s Church, All Souls College, and the Radcliffe Camera, provides a stunning backdrop from the city's only three-floor venue with a rooftop terrace, The Varsity Club, also known as TVC. Nestled in the heart of the Covered Market, this independent late-night venue is a true local gem. The heated and covered rooftop terrace is open year-round, offering a dedicated bar serving Pimm's, Prosecco, draught beers, and cider, making it an ideal spot to soak in 360-degree views whatever the weather. Whether you're seeking sunset cocktails or a cosy winter gathering spot with heated seats, the panoramic vista of the Dreaming Spires is an unforgettable Oxford experience.

Descending from the rooftop, visitors will discover a vibrant, multi-level experience. The first floor transforms into a lively nightclub on weekend evenings, with DJs playing club classics and contemporary hits until the early hours. For a more relaxed atmosphere, the Moroccan-inspired cocktail lounge on the third floor provides an intimate setting for enjoying classic and signature cocktails, expertly crafted by talented mixologists. With options for food service during the day and into the evening, including a popular weekend Ribs 'n Rum menu on the rooftop and a 2-for-£15 cocktail offer on weekdays in the lounge, TVC caters to a variety of tastes and occasions. Remember to check the smart casual dress code before your visit to this popular Oxford social hub.

Rooftop bar Great for a sunny or warm day. Cocktails pricey but you're in central Oxford & paying for the views. Always a nice atmosphere & good service. We always book ahead for a rooftop table. Haven't used the rest of the venue.
