Raoul’s Bar is a dimly-lit,
intimate lounge bar set across
two floors that’s known for
its huge cocktail menu and
late-night buzz. If you’re
visiting the dreaming spires
of Oxford, be sure to pay a
visit to this long-established
gem on Walton Street. Head
first for the intimate upstairs
space, with its funky 60s
décor, where cosy seating
areas are packed with
cocktail lovers assembled for
the finest, fruitiest, strongest
drinks in town. Try the Fruit
Collins or Mint Juleps and
see if you agree. After you’ve
sunk a few in this little haven,
head downstairs to the dance
space where the other bar is a
little more rowdy. Style doesn’t
overpower substance though
and the warm welcome is of
the kind that only happens in
bars that know exactly what
they’re about. Raoul’s has
been shaking and making
drinks since 1979 but was
reborn in 1999 following a
major refurbishment. Staff use
a huge amount of homemade
ingredients,
from
bitters
and syrups to falernum and
sherberts. Having previously
been ranked in the world’s
top 50 bars by The Sunday
Times, Raoul’s pedigree
speaks for itself.
