The Duke Of Cambridge

You'll find yourself on one of Oxford's best streets for a night out, where The Duke Of Cambridge sits quietly amongst independent shops and restaurants. It's the kind of place locals actually choose over the tourist traps by the colleges—no sticky floors or student unions here. The bar team knows what they're doing with both classic and creative cocktails, and they've got a genuinely interesting wine list that won't bankrupt you. The space feels lived-in rather than designed, which is exactly the point.
