George Street Social

Oxford


This sprawling central bar-restaurant offers a full food menu that centres on an all-day brunch, but the key to its essential identity lies in the latter half of its motto: ‘eat, drink and be social’. For students, it’s a heaven-sent central spot to meet friends and linger over coffee in the daytime, craft beers and cocktails at night.
