The Jericho in Oxford

Lovely joint. Had a great time.

Went for a gig upstairs, brilliant venue. Ate downstairs first lovely food and atmosphere.

Friendly quick delicious food with great bowls and sushi. Excellent service and great tea. Don't miss the appetisers; the takoyaki is an absolute joy. Perfect for a pre-gig meal, an evening meal to collect and take home, or a fun pile of sushi snacks.

Great little venue. The world needs more places like this!

Great value for live music. Good size stage and decent sound system. However, drinks are very expensive.

Pretty cool, nice food. Could have done with more staff on the bar.

On the expensive side for a pint, but nice

I came as a costumers with intolerances. They didn't had too many options for me but I know it is very difficult for me. They double checked for me everything this is why took a little bit longer to take my order. I appreciate it so much and the food was very nice. Every one of us had a good time. Sending well done for the chefs and for the bartenders.. I builded up a pretty big queue because of my order. Sry : DD ♡

I went for the live music upstairs and as a venue its great and fantastic that theres another venue in Oxford supporting original bands with good equipment and facilities. The Bar lady was very friendly but over £6.50 for a pint of stout is pretty expensive for a "grass roots pub". What really knocked my thoughts on the place was the overpowering smell of bar detergent downstairs, that sickly diluted bleach smell . So much so, that If I was drinking downstairs with mates, I would have had to leave the place. However the place was lively with students so I assume they had become noseblind being down there . Obviously pubs need to clean up spillage etc but In the 3 hours I was upstairs it was still overpowering when I came downstairs. Definitely recommend for live music and the upstairs area, but maybe a change to a more fragrant cleaner would be worth a thought 😊

The burgers always hit the spot, particularly with the 2 for 1 deal on Tuesdays.

It's not bad. Food is ok. Bit mean with chips I felt but then I like chips a lot! Spicy chicken burger was not v spicy but was tasty.

Characterful place with decent food - service a bit iffy - wrong table details taken. We attended a gig here and odd that the bar in gig area was different prices than main bar. not sure why this should be.

Staff a bit rude and uninterested. The girl just dumped my can of guinness 0 unopened in front of me and walked off. Rude to my wife about her cider choice. Not a bad pub but won't be back in a hurry

Great venue, quality food, fab staff

Dreadful. Went for drinks in garden. Dirty and absoloute mess. Arrived in afternoon. Man clearing up leaves around us. Chef helping to hold sack for him wearing his apron! Speaks volumes.

Nice place, but a word of advice: don't have cocktails... I had an aperol spritz, very not sparkling, and you hardly feel the taste of the aperol. When telling us at the bar, they told us that they respected the doses and that if we want more, we have to pay for a shot, whereas a small drop would have been enough... The shopkeeper offered us another cocktail. Which I preferred to refuse for fear that it would be the same problem, and it's a shame to waste water given the climate crisis. The manager would rather throw away a cocktail than add a drop of alcohol… Damage. Have a beer you might be less disappointed.

Looks great from the outside so made an impromptu visit! However the dyed blonde girl behind the bar gave no interest as she was face deep in an iPad, even though we stood there for a couple of minutes! Not interested at all obviously don’t need any business, the pub was empty! Don’t bother!

The Jericho hosted a party for us (7-12pm). Everything was brilliant - hugely supportive staff and management, as well as events. The food was really good and much enjoyed and the venue a perfect place for a retirement do with live band, lots of dancing and still room to eat and chat. Also great to have a garden to break out into both before and during the party. A huge thanks to all involved.

Lovely staff very helpful Tricked me with the 2 for 13 as there is No signage saying until 8pm so I got done over on drinks. The condiments were mostly empty with staff saying we had a Busy day! If you don’t have fresh ketchup and Mayo to give to customers don’t give them mostly empty bottles please. They didn’t have nachos… I mean you use wraps cut up and baked and coop is just next door. The steak and frites should have been fillet… if it was it was mostly the fat from the fillet of which was mostly left on plate as my Wife wanted steak Not mostly fat! Worst visit ever and it was for our 25th wedding anniversary as we know the tavern does great food…. Wasn’t that great for my wife My Fish was lovely The chips left a lot to be desired on a plate with a 15£ tag I gave a 7 because the staff otherwise it would be less than 5 Filthy soaked bar and cleanliness level below par. Sort it out Tavern. I recommend this place to my foreign students and want to continue to do so Fee

First time in the Jericho. Maybe it was because I had to trudge through heavy rain to get there but I arrived a bit grumpy. Had a very nice pint of Hogs Back and the atmosphere seemed very niice. I left much happier... and the rain had stopped.

Good drinks but disappointed by the bad attitude of a staff member , she was unnecessarily rude, will not be returning any time soon

Went to see an improv comedy show here. Good show and good beer

super place, super staff, super food

A group of 6 - 60+ year olds had a lunch absolutely brilliant service , very friendly staff & fabulous food, loved it will definitely be back !!

Friendly service, great food… surprisingly quiet

Didn't eat but food looked good

We reserved the upstairs venue from 12pm till midnight for our wedding celebrations. Throughout the prep process, the staff were super helpful, communicative and understanding. On the day, the Jericho team set-up the site far more than we even expected and then proceeded to do an amazing job of serving all the guests and accommodating our every request. Both Aleena, Billy and other staff members were fantastic and we couldn't have been happier with the support and the overall venue. We loved the location, the decor (those lights!) and the sound system for the music. And even afterwards the staff were so nice, allowing us to pick up our things later. Genuinely a 5 star service and venue, we'll be telling people about this for ages.

1st time in there so my review is not that meaningful. It was a late Sunday afternoon and fairly quiet inside. Staff very friendly. But it has that buzz, you can tell. Bands regularly on too. Would go again if you like a traditional pub with cool vibe

Nice pub, old school vibe, pool table & great choice of drinks available...didn't eat there so don't know

We booked the venue to hold a concert "An Afternoon with Celtic Heartbeat" as part of the Oxford Folk Festival. The staff downstairs were very friendly and helpful, Mikey the sound man was great. Some people came to watch and drink and some stayed to eat. All in all it was a veryt positive experience.

Nice friendly local feeling pub

amazing food. Good staff .i love this place

I go for thr live music. Brilliant staff and great food and booze. Only complaint is it's a tad pricey for drinks

Great beer garden and awesome live stage upstairs with great gigs!! Very nice atmosphere inside and one of the best pub foods.

Great pub, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Popped in after work for a beer and ended up staying for hours. Keep up the good work.

Great staff, great selection of drinks, great venue.

Amazing service, Matt is incredible!!!

Great pub. They let our ukulele band practice in their upstairs room free of charge

Really nice pub, great atmosphere, lovely staff, loved the coctails

Popped in for a quick drink before going out for a family meal, 12 of us in total. The team were lovely and friendly and the service quick. Cocktails were also great. Will definitely be back soon.

We really enjoyed the comedians.

Nice enough pub but why do you have to deafen everybody with such earsplittingly loud music? I go to a pub for a drink and a chat, not a drink and a "shout so loud you end up going hoarse". I went to The Bear earlier in the week and the contrast couldn't have been greater; no music at all and we were able to have a nuanced conversation without having to bellow in to each other's ears.

popped in for a pint with my friends, served by billy. great pint lovely food!

Cool pub, really nice food with a good vibe

Great food. A great selection of drinks. Very friendly and welcoming staff. 5 stars!

the best pub in oxford. billy was especially helpful :)

5 star experience. Thanks again!

Good pub with a lot of good live music in their venue! Much going on and a very friendly atmosphere

Had dinner here with my boyfriend last week and it was lovely. Friendly staff, nice food, decent priced drinks. I also like that they allow dogs too.

Ryan was a real dog that night, really put in a shift, great service, great smile & all round great guy! Thanks Jericho Tavern!

A marvellous pub with tasty beer and superb selection of drinks. More than that, it has an historic music venue upstairs where all the contemporary great Oxford bands cut their teeth. They continue to have really good bands on. There are comedy nights too.

Fantastic little venue. Great pub downstairs, music upstairs.

Right in the middle of this popular area sits the pub of the same name. Great decor, atmosphere and service. Plenty of seating areas. Good in the summer with outside space and open feel

Very good real pub with nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We didn't eat, so can't comment on food.

Fabulous music venue. Small, but great feel. Rare to find this. Downstairs had a buzzing atmosphere and was packed. Good location for pre cinema meet-up or try the upstairs ents.

Visited with family member on a weekday in Jan not a patch on our visit in dec, when it was Xmas busy as this was a lovely visit, we arrived at 12.30 and ordered straight away as only have an hour for lunch , was not made aware that food order was over 35 mins wait, which was a rush to eat it, if been informed we would of just had a drink, my order of the chicken burger was lovely as per the menu , I would recommend this, but the other dish did not , the steak sub came out on a toasted sub and was cold, said served pink and it was so overcooked and tough, and the condiments served was only a bit in the bottles, needed filling up or replacing, I will return in Feb and review again

Beautiful on the outside, spacious and ambient on the inside. Booking and ordering online are both smooth. The chicken tender is a bit too oily and spicy for my taste. Not too loud, which means it is a nice place to chat with friends. Edit 12/01/2024: their Sunday roast is on Too Good To Go! One of the best roast beef I’ve ever had.

Waited ages for our food order.after I asked when will be getting our food was told had a big order just before ours .Should have been told when we arrived that there would be a delay. Ordered steak and chimchurri sub was cooked well done not pink as described . Only had hour for lunch so ate what I could complained to staff but nothing came of it . Never to return even though went there three weeks ago and food was amazing

Lovely place, lovely food, lovely ambience. I had a great time having lunch here!

Friendly welcome, excellent service and great food

Great place for food and drinks, good customer services, we would come back again

I had a great time dining here. My parents and I are visiting for the States and decided to stop in one night. We ordered the fish and chips and the chicken schnitzel, both were really good. The chicken schnitzel was very crispy and tasty. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Overall, had a great time.

Great visit to the Jericho - wonderful service and fantastic atmosphere!

A brilliant pub, great community’s with cracking student prices !!

Fave pub in Oxford, for food & drinks! Edit: This was pre menu change & sadly as a veggie it’s no longer my fave spot for food, but still a fab pub for a drink

Great food, steak frites so good I came back few days later and had it again. Good beers. Pub was a bit cold

Amazing traditional pub, with great ale and even better ambience. First place we looked for when we visited Oxford. Lovely, friendly staff and great service. You won't be disappointed.

Great experience and enjoyed the food, staff also very friendly!

It's a descent place in centre of Oxford but expensive. The snacking options are descent too.

Nice pub. Music venue. Reasonable menu but I didn't have food so can't comment on quality. Overall a good experience.

This place will haunt your soul, with its beauty and tasty-ness 👌

Loved the environment good drinks, friendly and caring staff, great location.

its our first time visiting and its a cute little tavern with a gret atmosphere! really enjoyed it 🫶🏼

Had a great time at the Jericho Tavern tonight on an Oxford pub crawl. Good beers, good music, good atmosphere, great evening with friends.

Great drinks and lovely staff. Friendly environment as well. I highly recommend the cocktails and there is a good selection of bottled drinks

This pub has amazing staff that are very friendly, the music is great music and the rugby World Cup was on which topped it off!!

Possibly the smallest of the music venues in Oxford. Has been the proving ground for local bands over the years & still a good venue to see touring acts with a smaller set-up/solo acts. Access to the venue is via a narrow stairs behind the bar which can get a little cramped while waiting for the doors to open. Small stage at one end, with a bar at the rear around the corner. Sound quality is very good & the staff all friendly. Beer is a bit pricey (think London prices) but reasonable choice available. Worth keeping an eye on who's playing.

One of the good-uns down Walton Street.

We loved our experience here. My family came to visit me from Brazil and I decided to bring them here. It’s hard to please 8 people with different tastes and dietary needs but we found food to for everybody. Vegans, vegetarians… Alina was super sweet and helped us to decide food for family member that has allergies. She went to the kitchen to check and provided an excellent service. Highly recommend!!!!! Vegan food is delicious

Fantastic little find! Dog friendly, kind and very helpful staff with a lovely back garden patio. :) Wish we could have stayed for the live music!

My first time here I found the experience wonderful, the atmosphere, service and food were very good.

I loved the food and the place. Cant wait to go back

Great food, the sunday roast is specially good! Great prices as well

Take a look inside…. The Jericho tavern is the coolest bar in Oxford! Super garden and great interior, dog friendly, friendly staff and they take cash! Definitely worth a stop.

Nice pub with a good atmosphere and good range of drinks to choose from. Sports and music too! The tables are a bit sticky though!

Nice pub, great nachos, great upstairs music venue that’s hosted such legendary bands as Radiohead and Little Clarendon

Brilliant pub, great selection of drinks and absolutely love the pool table!

Great pub - love the garden! :)

Definitely one of the best pubs in Oxford. Lovely outside seating area as well!!

What a wonderful place to grab a beer. Such history and such kind staff, really the beer is top notch and I can’t believe how lucky we are to have such a fine institution here

We brought my son and his wife and daughters after the youngest's baptism, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and lovely. We had a glitch on one of the two sides that came with our order (we thought we'd ordered a salad, but we got an order of chips instead). It could have been our mistake ... or our American accents could have been hard to understand. But no matter, as the staff took care of it immediately and a salad came our way in just a few more minutes. We were very impressed by the service ... and the food (burgers, roasted chicken) was VERY GOOD!

Great F&C in the relaxing garden and wonderful atmosphere of a classic English pub.

Great place to come to with friends. The food is tasty, the music is good, and the staff are lovely. The garden outside is nice in the summer but also has heaters if its cold. Ive been here a few times for gigs in the venue upstairs and have always had a good experience.

Excellent food, excellent service. Nyall was especially helpful. Will definitely be coming back!

Great pub. Always great beer on draught and excellent gigs on upstairs.

Amazing pub. Great beer, delicious food, and friendly staff. Will definitely be visiting again!

Cracking food, lovely beer garden!

Really great place for a drink with friends! Kit’s first day as staff and she was awesome.

Great place to spend my wife’s birthday

cocktails were so nice. wine was good but low-key overpriced. also if u leave a review they give u a tote x
