I can’t believe I haven’t already reviewed Thirst! It’s a great place for a night out with friends - stylish enough to dress up a bit for, casual enough to be relaxing, and cheap enough to buy lots of drinks. The barmen are really skilled, with bouncing glasses and funky pouring techniques. Maybe I’m just easily impressed, but I do like to see them in action. It can take a long time to get served, so try and stand somewhere obvious if there are lots of people at the bar.

They have a list of cheap cocktails, and a normal menu. The cheap ones (around £3) are still really good, although there’s lots of ice in them. Check out the jelly shots too - great fun. All the drinks come out in great luminous colours, and you usually end up pointing at someone’s and ordering the same just because of the colour!

I’ve never had to queue to get in, but I don’t normally go on the most popular nights. I’ve not really noticed the music either, so it’s probably neutral club/bar music. It can feel a bit crowded, but there are lots of tables hidden round corners where you can huddle with friends.

Thirst is the best cocktail bar in oxford!
its famous for its flarers (throwing drinks in the air and the likes!) they do so many cocktails that vary in price.
the bar men are great and very friendly! regulars can usually blag a few free shots!
there is a dj most nights mainly playing funky house and smoothgrooves and a bit of indie on the weekends. bright and colourful lights and seating you can usually expect to share your table with someone but everyone is usually really nice in there.
the garden in amazing recently refurbished after the smoking ban has lots of built in wooden seats and tables with as least 3 outside heaters as well as plants, wall climbers its a nice cozy smoking area.

it gets very busy on the weekend so there is door staff and somenights there is a charge of around £1.50 to get in.
dont bother going in if it looks too packed it can get silly at around 10-11.30 as many go for pre club drinks as Oxford’s 3 main clubs are located inches for thirst!

Thirst is where you go for fabulous cocktails in a mix of club/bar atmosphere. It’s always lively and a great place for a dance. Also a great pre-club venue…or you can just stay there until 2am and dance instead.

The cocktails are large and strong and fantastic value for money.

The music is obviously very good as there are some crazy moves going down on the dance floor!

Friendly staff, good service, and some proper cocktail staff!

Great for Cocktails, not too badly priced either. Would recommend but need to get there early as you can end up queuining outside for ages…

A great cocktail/beer bar where happy hour is daily between 5-8pm and a cocktail is £2.95! Its a smallish bar but is packed with lots of attitude.

It has a small but perfectly formed dance floor where a daily dj pumps out really good modern tunes that really get you dancing. Occasionally he hands out blow up guitars to fool around with but - be warned - you must give them back at end of night! as we found out! (stingy :) )

The barmen are friendly and are very good at their job making lots of yummy drinks and you can even add your own ''special ingredients''. They often do some ''tom cruise'' cocktail spins and this makes it all good fun.

Wear some dancing shows and dress up. Although there is no strict clothing rule (just the general smartish no white trainers) people here do like to look good!

The location is good too as up the road is park end where you can drunkenly finish your night off :)

Quite trendy cocktail bar at the bottom of the hill in Oxford. Pretty expensive for students but the cocktails are very tasty. This is a great place to go to before heading on to one of Oxford's famous student nights at the Bridge or Park End.

Try the Mojito's. You won't be disappointed.

Oxfords best cocktail bar. If you looking for cocktails don't look any further. Not the biggest of bars but it complete quality. As far as cocktails go, they are priced respectably. Drinks such as beer tend to be a little on the expensive side though. It is also evident that the barmen are extremly experienced. It has a cool outdoor which is very cleverly heated, so much so that you can relax outside on a cold winters night.

My favorite bar in Oxford! The bar men are very kind, and pleased to make you your own personalized, prefered cocktail. Open seven nights a week, live DJ´s every night (all sorts; house, electronic, r&b mixes) and a pleasant, trendy atmosphere. The door policy makes sure it´s doesn´t get too crowded, because Thirst is not that big. Although, big enough to dance, drink and chat.
Great place!!
