    We did a hen do cocktail making class here and it was so much fun! We got to try lots of different cocktails and make some too. The 2 leading the class were brilliant. They were knowledgeable, funny and dealt well with us barely listening and asking the same questions 🤦 thank you! The roof top was also lovely for drinks after. Highly recommend

    I celebrated my 30th birthday in the private rooftop lounge at The Varsity Club, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere was incredible from the moment we arrived. As the sun began to set, the whole rooftop was bathed in warm golden light, and later in the evening, the view of the moon shining over Oxford’s skyline made the night feel magical. The food was fresh and delicious — from the tasty snacks to the perfectly cooked burgers — and the drinks were spot on. The staff were outstanding, always friendly, attentive, and quick to make sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. For such a beautiful venue right in the heart of Oxford city centre, the prices were surprisingly affordable. It was an unforgettable experience, and I couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate such an important milestone.

    Great food. You can see the roof tops of Oxford. It might look like something at night. In tge day mew. Dosent stop the gaff having a great vibe. It's really big as well. 3 floors, plenty of space and covers. Uts tucked away so you would pass it unnoticed if you hadn't looked it up or seen it on tiktok. It's also resemble if you do the contact deals with the meal. I rated it, I think you will to.

    Fantastic views of one of the most iconic parts of the city. Food is decent but not great. Service is fairly attentive. Surprisingly not very busy at lunchtime.
