The Oxford in Bristol, City of

A proper local boozer with some live music.

A lively local with beer from Bristol beer factory.

Quiet little pub bit off the beaten track friendly bar staff, looks like a good local pub

The wall of smell from urine cakes hits you on the way in, average beer selection but friendly enough

Card only is the only reason for this review. Infuriating. Great otherwise.

We had lovely time at this pub today, just opposite side to Tesco and Italian restaurant. Plenty spaces for sitting inside and outside. Good beer and ale selection. Friendly and welcoming bar staff.

Bit pricey but a lovely place. I will use it again

My favourite local pub. No food just good booze

A great venue to see some up-and-coming bands with a well-priced drink in hand!

The open mic on a Sunday is well worth going in for. It runs from 4pm

Had an amazing roast today, the staff were very friendly and the roast was a 10/10. I would highly recommend!

Popped in before meal across the road. Atmosphere was very very frand relaxing. Thete was a vand setting-up too

We didn't have food but the pub is quirky and fun and they have live music events which is nice. It's also not far from a bus stop.

We went there on a whim as we were in the old city Brilliant place to take the kids There is no entrance fee but well worth a Donation

Best roast dinner I’ve had in Bristol in ages. Service was great and enjoyed the live music. Thank you!

Friendly atmosphere and a great selection of drinks.

Plau at the open mic on Sunday afternoons atmosphere is great and good outdoor seating area along with fast service.

Beautiful experience as always, Jane is a legend 💗🤩

Great Totterdown establishment with some of the best indoor decor in Bristol! Very nice atmosphere and always something quirky to look at. £4.80 for a pint of Trail Blazer - they have an amazing beer selection! Didn’t stay for the live music but returned for what was the best roast I’ve had this year. There were a few veggie options for the mains which was refreshing to see - the mushroom wellington was lush. For me, though, the cauliflower cheese stole show!

Superb community pub selling a good range of Bristol Beer Factory ales.

Had an amazing roast dinner. As a vegetarian it’s hard to find a great roast but I would go as far to say it was the best I had in a very long time. The staff are amazing as well. Thank you all so much.

Your standard pub, no complaints and good to watch the game

Great atmosphere but some of the drinks are expensive, paid £6.50 for the Camden Ale so would not order that again!

How does he do it? Great beers, pizzas, atmosphere, music... one of the reasons Bristol has culture is from boozers like this, great things come together at this pub

Friendly local, well-kept beer, live music, best pub for miles

A place to meet friends, enjoy a good beer and have fun during days of live music. A place to meet friends, enjoy a good beer or have fun on days of live music.

Love this pub. Great range of locally brewed beers, great staff and atmosphere and great live music. Highly recommended for both nights out and casual daytime drinks.

Lovely staff, great live music and all round lovely place.

A proper pub, haven't been in one in ages and was so lucky that I was able to have a few points at this one. Really feels like they want to bring people together to chat and listen to good music.... it's there anything more you could ask for.

Great live music and awesome atmosphere 👌

Usually lively pub with an open mike night on Thursdays and Sundays, often has a band on Fridays and Saturdays, and televised sporting events. Card payments only.

A real pub. Friendly to regulars, locals and new visitors alike, with regular live music. Excellent beer selection as well as a great range of wines.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Always playing good music too.

John and Angie great hosts. Music great

Good honest pub. Decent beer and a friendly welcome from customers and staff, sometimes with live music

Great pub, had live music, prints a reasonably priced. Great atmosphere!

One of Bristols best local pubs Good beer Live music Great friendly atmosphere

Quirky little pub. Good quality drinks at a fair price. Welcoming and great atmosphere

Lovely and friendly, good beer selection!

Love this pub. It's a classic Bristol boozer but with the perfect atmosphere for me and my mates. It has a punk rock feel, friendly but stickers and graffiti everywhere. Typical Bristol prices for beer but also really high quality craft ales and ciders. Great location for people watching and a really close walk to temple meads train station.

Laid back pub, good atmosphere, always a nice buzz

Great selection of local beer, cosy welcoming atmosphere.

A proper pub - great live music - good range of drinks - good atmosphere - a refreshing change

Best landlord and bar staff out there

OK. It was open on a Tuesday and was an OK place to have a drink and chat.

Really friendly staff, proper drinking pub. Love it

Serving a great range of locally brewed beers, eclectic decor and great live music. The bar staff are fantastic and the place has a very chilled vibe. Still coming here regularly after 3 years in Bristol and loving it!

Came here one evening to meet a friend, beautiful evening so we sat outside for a couple of pints. Nice beer, friendly staff, nice chilled vibe.

Higher price than others in the area.

Food and drink 7/10 Service 7/10 Decor and atmosphere: 5/10 Service speed 7/10 Cost 6/10 The best: Events, open mic on Sundays is fun The worst: small cramped setting, men's urinal on the end floods! The lowdown: Great pub with drafts and selection of snacks, no food.

Great atmosphere friendly staff 👌

The Oxford has been transformed over the years. A lively, fun, community based pub. Pity it's all the way across town, otherwise I'd get along more often.

Great vibe, lovely staff. Kinda place where you can just chat to people and enjoy a drink. Basically, it's a proper pub!

Great local pub, with a good selection of lagers, ales & ciders, complimented by a great whisky selection. Staff are friendly, & helpful. 2022 update: Pandemic survived, and still awesome

Really, really lovely pub. Bit trendy. Lots of seating, good beer, friendly staff. Completely different than it apparently used to be. Really good beer!

Cracking pub staff and customers

Great live music and beer. Love this pub they have a link with food outlet as well now. A bit pricey but can't fault the quality

Lovely place full of lovely people and lovely beer.

Friendly welcoming pub , staff and management first class .great entertainment . recommended ****

Lovely Sunday roast - good size and reasonably priced!

Great pub great landlord great music when it starts again

It has a performance area, occasional bands, regular open mic sessions, and an annual music festival. Great for locals, as an outsider I was welcomed also.

Best Sunday Roast during the winter months. Also one of the best open mic live music which is on every Thursday night. Lovey people and good atmosphere

Credit where credit is due, the pub has recently reopened after some works. I was pleased to see that the washrooms have been upgraded and the beer engines serviced/replaced my 4 star is now a 5 star.

My co-favourite local. Great beer, rad live music, cool staff, love love it in here.

Beer was very well kept (Independence and Waimea River were the two we tried), and the atmosphere was cool and bohemian, if slightly tired. Good selection of board games. I visited on the last day before closing for a refurb, so will be back once it reopens in a couple of weeks.

Nice local pub with live music.

Best before lockdown, takeaway is nothing on the real thing

Absoutely amazing service frome steve/dave/Dan not sure what his name was. But had aexperience amazing x

Friendly atmosphere and service. Plenty of beers though a few more choices of cider would be good. The decor is nice and homely, they do serve food though the kitchen was closed the day we visited unfortunately.

When a pub is willing to make a cup of tea out of the hours of 'usual cup of tea times' deserves 5 stars. xx

Really nice landlady, they do some good Rums, Old J tiki fire ovenproof 👌 will be returning

Lovely local pub run by lovely people

Great atmosphere and lovely staff :)

Liked the atmosphere. Popped in here for a quick one after work. Will be back for sure!

The guy who fell through the ceiling still holding on bless him.

Best roast dinner I've had in a long time

Proper English pub serving decent beers and with local live music.

nice local pub good beer live music on weekends

Great place for music food and drinks

Nice local pub. I enjoy spending time here. Love listening to the live music. Had a roast on Sunday that I really liked. Would recommend for a night out or a casual drink.

Nice beer. Friendliest people and good atmosphere!

Love our local full of interesting characters and live music 👌

Hipster vibe but was cold! Decor could do with some TLC

Friendly people, reasonable prices and great atmosphere!

Great community pub and fantastic choice of ales.

Lovely pub. Excellent a to sphere. Good food. Very good music. Well done chaps!

Regular live entertainment on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday which is great, so there’s something for everyone. The Oxford has a warm local pub atmosphere and the crowd is a great mix of friendly people. It was a shame the bar staff weren’t very welcoming but I’m hoping it was just a one off. The outdoor seating is also a good option for the sunnier days and the prices of drinks are pretty reasonable.

Lovely atmosphere, different events well supported

Great music and fun dancing vibes for a saturday night

Lovely local boozer which does free live music at weekends. The type of place that need to be used and kept in society

A great local pub. Good selection of beers. Regular live entertainment. Warm and friendly atmosphere. A proper pub in the Old school sense.

Ok, but not a local any longer due to the influx of yummys who now live in totterdown

Nice atmosphere, beer good, great local!

Unfortunately I find the owner of the pub very unprofessional and I have been put off by his unfriendly manner... Really sad as until I met him I thought it was quite a good little local pub

Great place with board games front and back garden. Good menu with themed events and music. Highly recommend

This pub is full of flavour in the taste of great British heritage.

Had a fantastic open Mike night. Worth the journey down from Filton

Good Friday night with mates. Live music happy days...

Great atmosphere, lovely crowd. Drinks a bit pricey for my Welsh pockets though lol
