    We rented the private bar on level 2 for a birthday celebration. The whole evening went fantastically well, thanks to all of the staff who were friendly and attentive to all our requests. The food provided was lovely and everyone enjoyed. Great selections of drinks at the bar. All the booking and interaction with the managers was easy and friendly. Would highly recommend.

    My wife and two of her friends held a joint birthday party on 1st Floor of Varsity on September 7th. It was fantastic; location, atmosphere and service were all excellent. Everyone at Varsity was as friendly and helpful in the run up to the event as they were on the night. The band I am in played live at the venue and the sound was great - thanks to an excellent and easy to use PA system. So huge thanks to Alex and the team at Varsity

    Hosted a group of about 30 people here two years in a row and both times it was amazing. We’ve gone in August both times which is an extremely busy time in Oxford. The Varsity Club group was absolutely exceptional with planning and service. All of the staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and overall just want you to have a great time. Cocktails are amazing and food is delicious. If you plan on hosting a group or even visiting Oxford, Varsity Club is a must. They have a rooftop section with beautiful views of the city. Highly recommend!
