Hanks Bar

Proper cocktail bar on Queen Street where you can actually have a conversation and the drinks taste like they cost more than they do.

You'll find Hanks tucked away on Queen Street in the heart of Oxford's bar scene, the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Walk in and you're greeted with dark wood, ambient lighting, and bartenders who know what they're doing—no flashy theatrics, just solid cocktails that won't leave your wallet entirely empty. It's got that sweet spot between casual and considered, where you can roll in for a quick drink after work or settle in for the evening without feeling out of place either way. The crowd's a nice mix of locals, students, and the occasional tourist who's stumbled onto something decent.
