Pubs of Oxford is a revolutionary new platform for the ever growing population of Oxford to search and find all of the pubs in one place.
Oxford has nearly 200 pubs and bars, some with treasured historical backgrounds, some playing the latest music, but all providing excellent food, drinks, events, discounts or jobs.
There are too many incredible pubs located within its 10 mile radius that are going unnoticed because people don't realise they are there.
There isn't a strong online presence for Oxford. That's why we want to encourage everyone who lives, works or visits Oxford to understand what we're all about. We want everyone to realise the full potential Oxford and it's pubs has to offer.
We attract a huge customer base in Oxford from students, tourists and locals to foodies, connoisseurs and businesses. This is why we want to support the community and open up this platform for everyone to utilise, as a gateway into Oxford.
The origins of Pubs Of Oxford are quite simple, as with any idea, it didn't take years of brainstorming, it was just something that we wanted to create.
Waking up hung-over one Sunday morning, we (Chris & Chris) were desperate to find a pub that was still open for breakfast. After an unsuccessful web search, we trekked out to the only pubs of Oxford we knew that served a Full English. By the time we reached the pubs we were too late - it was lunchtime.
We had failed to get our delicious fry-up after wasting precious time researching. We thought it would be cool if there was a website that offered all the information regarding serving times for breakfast at these pubs, so this catastrophe wouldn't happen again.
After joking around a little longer, it occurred to us that even though we are residents of Oxford, we knew very little about events and gigs that take place in the pubs of Oxford. How will new students and tourists find suitable attractions on an evening whilst sipping a cold beverage, or where to go for a local pub quiz, or get a discount on drinks if we didn't even know!
That's when we set out to create a website that encompassed all these unique opportunities. And so, Pubs Of Oxford was born.
Find a good career. Work your way up. Settle down.
I wasn't very good at any of these things. I just wanted to do my own thing and live out my own ideas, although that often meant playing video games, going to the pub, procrastinating or moaning about not getting the right job.
Eventually, after realising that we spend most of our lives working, I might as well be working on something awesome. That's when the brainstorming started. Finding an idea that would steer clear from the corporate world and choose something that I wouldn't mind getting out of bed for each day.
Find me drinking real ale and feasting on a roast in a traditional pub or downing shots in Oxford's newest bar.
