Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Rocked up looking for a place to dance and this was it. Great music downstairs and awesome crowd. The upstairs bartenders are a bit rude but make drinks pretty fast. The crowd upstairs varies immensely from the downstairs crowd. Either way, a Friday night in there is where it's at.

    Seemed friendlier and cheaper than the Oxford (which is not how it used to be) so can be a destination if you're after that sort of thing.

    Good little bar, with a good range of beers. If you’re into your beers this is a great place to visit.
    I’ve been a couple of times , and will certainly visit again.

    Totally amazing! Tell them what you like and they’ll make you a custom made cocktail. I love rum grapefruit and passion fruit… boom! The most amazing cocktail I’ve ever had! Doesn’t look like much from the outside but head upstairs and it’s like stepping into another world. It’s like an old fashioned speakeasy with red chesterfield chairs and some cosy candlelit corners The staff were super attentive. I didn’t want to leave so we’re going back tonight and I can’t wait! Don’t miss this opportunity!

    You go up the stairs and arrive in a little beauty. It's small but ticks all the boxes. The decor is beautiful and the music is awesome. Live DJ's and different events happening all the time. The roof top bar out the back is amazing. So open ad has a great vibe. We will come back a lot more when we are in town

    Security are absolutely rude. My friend got rejected because he has a lazy eye. Claims he was too intoxicated because he “can’t look at him straight.” Security ruined this venue as they are too strict and are simply ableist. Boycott Oxford Art Factory.

    You don't get the tax of certain other pubs along here and I don't if many of the clubs are left so despite appearances, it makes for a good old experience along here.

    This is a kind of tiki bar with a dance floor. There is a prom night "under the sea" vibe on the dance floor, and it got busy on a Saturday night. The monkey head cocktail was unexpected! Cover charge.

    Buffalo mozzarella was superb, melt in your mouth deliciousness. The pasta dishes were good but I wouldn't rush back for the pasta - as neat as swirling the pasta in a big cheese wheel is I felt the flavours in the dish were lacking and the pasta was slightly undercooked. Gnocchi was nothing special either.

    Absolutely the worst security I have ever encountered. This used to be a great fun venue to come to, but ever since new management, it's gone drastically downhill. They behave like they are operating the most exclusive club on the planet. They target and abuse people waiting in line and enjoy abusing patrons
