Best Nightlife in Galloway

"In the heart of north Oxford, this elegant Victorian conservatory houses local hotelier and restaurateur Jeremy Mogford’s most upmarket establishment. It’s usually packed every lunchtime and evening with a mixture of students and their parents celebrating or commiserating exam results, well-heeled residents of the million-pound mansions nearb,y and curious gourmands attracted by the Mediterranean-influenced menu, which includes wood-fired guinea fowl, nettle and wild garlic risotto and the most comprehensive paella imaginable."

"Address: Gee’s Restaurant & Bar, 61A Banbury Rd, Park Town, Oxford OX2 6PE. Gee’s Restaurant is set in a unique Victorian Glasshouse that serves a rustic Mediterranean dining experience to locals and tourists. This famous Grade II listed Victorian conservatory was initially designed in 1898 as a greengrocer and florist, but it now houses one of Oxford’s most renowned neighbourhood restaurants."

"To get more of a neighbourhood feel, I’d recommend Gees where I had dinner when I visited. It’s a Mediterranean style restaurant that’s in an old Victorian greenhouse, with excellent cocktails and food, although it’s a 20 minute walk from the heart of Oxford, so you may prefer to get a taxi."

"Grab a picnic table with friends and family, order some tasty bar snacks to share, plus a glass of Pimm’s each, then sit back and relax. A small’ish but perfectly formed pub garden, with a chilled out vibe – perfect for a spot of sun worshipping or hangover healing. With regular live music there’s a little something for everyone."

"Deli-cum-pub-cum-cafe Jacobs Inn replaced the more traditional Red Lion in Wolvercote. Recently renovated and refurbished, Jacobs Inn not only has a lovely large garden with plenty of seating, but it also has livestock to keep you company. Pop in for fresh bread, coffee or a meal, there’s wifi throughout so you can even pretend to be working!"

"Just before catching my National Express coach home, I walked to Oxford Castle Quarter. With 1000 years of history, it’s worth checking out the beautiful exterior and 11th-century Motte and Bailey Castle, even if you don’t fancy venturing inside."

"Crafting classic British roasts every day of the week, Toby Carvery presents a crowd-pleasing feast. Select from tender slow-cooked meats, a variety of vegetables and hand-ruffled potatoes (each of which are checked to ensure they're crisped and…"

"It's been featured in Vogue and Elle magazine and it's pretty damn sexy with all its designer furniture lurking about. There's a private terrace for special occasions and although it may seem a bit pretentious, it certainly won't fail to impress. If this isn't cosy I don't know what is."

" With its throngs of beautiful people, expansive chesterfield sofas, fat shag-pile rugs and minimalist sense of cool, the last thing you might expect ..."

"Founded in 1683, not only is the Ashmolean Britain’s oldest museum, but it’s also one of the finest museums in the world. With exhibits ranging from Egyptian mummies, Michelangelo’s sketches for the Sistine Chapel, Guy Fawkes’s lantern and Oliver Cromwell’s death mask, the Ashmolean is a genuine treasure trove – half a million years’ worth displayed over five floors, to be precise - and a must-visit for your Oxford holidays. Where and when: Beaumont Street."

"Just a short stroll away is the Ashmolean Museum which is remarkably the oldest public museum in the country. First opened in 1683, it has an collection of artworks, artifacts and archaeological findings for visitors to enjoy; all housed within a magnificent Neoclassical building. In total there are 39 galleries to wander around that focus on various civilizations and cultures from around the globe."

"With its imposing marble columns, and classical style facade, the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology is impossible to miss for anyone walking down Beaumont Street. The first university museum ever created, and home to artefacts dating from the Egyptian era to the modern days. It’s a fantastic place to check out, whether you’re a history buff, or a contemporary art lover."

"King’s Head is a local hotspot, and it’s run by the Chiltern Brewery, so you’ll find the bar stocked with ale from Chiltern. The pub is open from 11am to 11pm Monday through Saturday, and the pub stays open from noon to 10:30 pm on Sunday. Food service is available all week long."

"Not strictly a ‘garden’ but definitely a quirky outside space at Tap Social. Chilled vibes and craft beer from their on-site brewery. Think lots of picnic tables on a bustling industrial estate, with live music and regular street food pop-ups (when allowed)."

"Founded in 2016 out of a passion for good beer and social justice, their eclectic partnerships with local foodie vendors continues with the added bonus of heaters, covered seating and of course the (outside) taproom."

"Tap Social is a craft brewery, coffee house and community space that provides training and employment to people serving and recently released from prison sentences."
