Best Bars in Oxford City Centre for Cocktails, Music & Late Nights

Oxford after dark deserves more than one quick drink before heading home.

If your ideal night involves cocktails, good food, music and somewhere you can actually settle in for the evening, you’ll want to know where to find the best bars in Oxford city centre.

Luckily, we know a place.

Cocktails on George Street

Right in the heart of Oxford, Megan’s by the Spires is home to not one, but two large cocktail bars spread across two floors.

So you can pop in for a quick drink after work, meet friends before the theatre or settle in for the whole evening.

Our advice?

Clear the diary.

Happy Hour in Oxford

The best nights often start suspiciously early.

Join us for Happy Hour from 5–7pm and get the evening underway with cocktails before moving onto dinner, more drinks and whatever the night has planned next.

And if you’re a student, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are even sweeter with 2-for-1 Happy Hour.

Dinner, Then Drinks

One of the benefits of choosing a bar that also happens to serve very good food?

Nobody has to leave when hunger inevitably hits.

Order Eastern Mediterranean-inspired dishes for the table, go for a ‘bab, graze on mezze or make a full dinner of it.

Then simply stay exactly where you are.

Very efficient.

DJs & Late Nights in Oxford

Come Friday and Saturday, Megan’s by the Spires gets a little louder.

Expect DJs, cocktails and late nights until 1am, with our downstairs bar providing the perfect setting for a proper night out.

Start upstairs with dinner and drinks before heading downstairs as the night gets going.

No taxis between venues. No losing half the group. No “where are you guys?” messages.

Group Drinks & Celebrations in Oxford

Birthdays, post-work drinks, graduations, reunions or the friend who has somehow convinced everyone that their promotion deserves a full-scale celebration…

We’re here for all of them.

With big tables, two floors and dedicated spaces for larger groups, Megan’s by the Spires is perfect if you’re searching for group drinks in Oxford city centre.

Come for a cocktail. Add dinner. Stay for the DJs.

Some plans don’t need to be more complicated than that.
