About AY OXFORD
The good part of going out.
A neighbourhood wine and cocktail bar made for the hours when nobody needs to rush.
Oxford after dark
An independent bar, kept current.
AY OXFORD brings together sparkling, white, rosé and red wines with house cocktails, dependable classics and a thoughtful alcohol-free option. The list is short on purpose: choose with confidence, then settle into the evening.
Some visits begin with a plan. Others begin with one drink and carry on from there. The room is designed for both — a comfortable table, attentive service, and enough space for conversation.
Drinks philosophy
A shorter list, properly explained.
A drinks list should make choosing easier, not turn the table into a test. Ours is kept current rather than padded out. Prices are clear. Measures are honest. The team can help you find the right glass without the performance that sometimes comes with it.
Alcohol-free serves sit on the list with the same care as everything else — not as an afterthought at the bottom of the page.
The room
A room that lets the evening happen.
Warm light, low conversation, and a pace that does not hurry the table. AY OXFORD is for after-work glasses, two people catching up, small groups sharing a bottle, and anyone who wants a well-made serve without a nightclub volume.
Who we are set up for
Four kinds of evening, same careful list.
-
After work
A glass before the evening starts properly, without a long wait to be served.
-
Two people
A quiet table where the conversation matters more than the soundtrack.
-
Small groups
Bottles worth sharing and a list everyone can find something on.
-
Anyone not drinking
An alcohol-free serve that sits on the cocktail list rather than beneath it.
