Cowley Road has some good pubs - "The Pub" - a super place, Cafe CoCo - a restaurant / cocktail bar thingy - not especially smart though and various others along the road - I guess it is the Pub Crawl Road of Oxford - but not nearly as big as the Otley Road in Leeds and a touch more expensive.

Loads of pubs in the town centre - all the usual, Firkin / Irish pubs etc. There is a Jongleurs (Comedy Place) which is pretty good for the Gucci Set - they get loads of famous faces there anyway so that's nice.

Not much of a dance club scene though plenty of cheese available "Park end" - can't fail to pull a pig. PoNaNA - really good place to go - lots of different types of music - caters for most tastes; "The Old Firestation" - dripping with Brie and Gorgonzola - but a good giggle if you want some eighties stuff.

There are quite a few bars opening soon - "All Bar One", "Bar Risa", "Cafe Boheme" - all very trendy - but not too scary!!

Of course not everything in Oxford has to do with alcohol - um you could look around the beautiful University gardens / Parks - ummmmm ...watch Oxford Ladies play rugby (sorry - had to get it in somewhere!) Go punting - always a giggle - especially if pissed

Unusual spot that we went to some weeks ago for eats - on the Cowley Road. A restaurant called the Hi-Lo. Jamaican in theme, serves the strangest food, no menu, they just give you a choice of "vegetarian, chicken or fish". Prices are made up on the spot, so it is a bit of a gamble, but run by the 'happy' rastafarian owner, who is so laid back, you have to step over him on the way out. A 'different' evening, and probably for those who are bored of the general pizza-type stuff.
