About This Pub
Ah, JoJo's Bar on Cowley Road – it's one of those places that just hits the mark for a proper good time in Oxford. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the cocktails are a standout; they're crafted with real flair, and paired with those artisanal pizzas, it's easy to see why it's become such a favourite. The staff really shine too – they're not just serving drinks, they're making sure everyone feels right at home, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or hosting a birthday bash. It's spot on for groups, with live music adding that extra spark to the atmosphere, making it perfect for unwinding after a long week. On the flip side, though, it's a bit of a evening-only affair, and with only five days open, it might not always fit into everyone's schedule. Plus, it does get packed, so planning ahead is a must if you don't want to miss out. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a fun, welcoming spot, but it's worth keeping those quirks in mind to make the most of it.

Cons
-
It's only open in the evenings and not every day of the week, which might cramp your plans if you're after a daytime pint or a spontaneous visit.
-
With its popularity, it can get quite busy, especially for events, so you might need to book ahead to avoid disappointment.

While everything's top-notch from what folks say, there aren't many options for those who aren't keen on cocktails or pizzas, so it might not suit every taste.

If I could give this bar a thousand stars I would! I had my 30th birthday party here and privatised the space for drinks, food and dancing. The staff on-site and behind the scenes were absolutely incredible! So organised and professional, they were very kind and put me completely at ease. I couldn't recommend this place enough. The cocktails were 10/10, as were the pizzas! A MUST GO!
Lovely place, we really enjoyed my friends’ birthday celebrations. The waiters were very nice and made sure we could all sit together.

First time visit here on Saturday. What a gem! Lovely relaxed atmosphere and fab staff. Really enjoyed the live music too. Perfect for the venue. Didn't eat on this occasion as we were just stopping by, but definitely will next time. Food looked great! Will definitely be a Cowley Road favourite from now on. Thank you!
My boyfriend and I stopped off here last Saturday and had a great experience. The service was amazing and attentive and there was live music too! We ordered a pizza to share (great sized portions) and a cocktail each, it was all high quality and a good price. We would recommend this to anyone in the area!
