Oxford Student Nightlife Guide: Best Places for Drinks & Nights Out

Lectures done. Laptop closed. Group chat suddenly very active.

Oxford might be famous for libraries, colleges and very impressive-looking buildings, but when the sun goes down, there’s a whole other side of the city to explore.

Whether you’re looking for student drink deals, somewhere for pre-drinks before a night out, or a bar where you can stay for cocktails and music, here’s how to make the most of student nightlife in Oxford.

Start With After-Lecture Drinks

There’s something about finishing your last lecture of the day that makes a cocktail feel particularly well-earned.

You’ll find Megan’s by the Spires on George Street, right in the middle of Oxford city centre, making it an easy meeting point when everyone’s coming from different directions.

Start with a table full of food, stay for cocktails and let the evening go from there.

Because nobody wants to be the person trying to organise seven different people into a new location every hour.

£20 Bottomless for Oxford Students

Bottomless plans without the usual price tag? Yes, please.

Students can enjoy Bottomless for just £20 every Tuesday and Wednesday at Megan’s by the Spires.

Round up your housemates, course mates or society friends and make your midweek plans a little more Megan’s.

Finished an assignment? Birthday? Society social? Made it through Tuesday?

All equally valid reasons.

2-for-1 Happy Hour

Two cocktails are better than one.

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, students can also enjoy 2-for-1 Happy Hour, making midweek the perfect excuse for after-lecture drinks.

Grab your friends, find your table and settle in for cocktails before deciding where the rest of the night will take you.

15% Student Discount With UNiDAYS

And the student perks don’t stop when Wednesday does.

We’ve teamed up with UNiDAYS to give students 15% off food and drink, all day, every day at Megan’s.

Brunch between lectures? 15% off.

Dinner with your housemates? 15% off.

Cocktails because that seminar was particularly painful?

You get the idea.

Pre-Drinks in Oxford City Centre

If you’re heading somewhere else afterwards, George Street is a great place to start your night.

Megan’s is made for the “just one before we go” part of the evening.

You can grab dinner first, settle in for cocktails or head downstairs for drinks before carrying on with the rest of your night.

Whether that one drink actually remains one drink is between you and the group chat.

DJs & Late Nights at Megan’s

Some nights call for dinner.

Others start with dinner and somehow end several hours later.

On Friday and Saturday nights, Megan’s by the Spires turns things up with DJs, cocktails and late-night energy, with the party continuing until 1am.

So if you’re looking for a student night out in Oxford without having to rush from dinner to drinks to somewhere with music, you can do the whole thing under one roof.

Eat. Sip. Stay.
