The Temple Bar is ideally located on Temple Street in St Clements between the Cowley and Iffley Roads. It is my local and I'm also on the Temple Bar table football team (who won the Oxford University League this year!).
It is a nice old Victorian pub from the outside. The interior is beautifully thought out by an interior designer - lovely calming green walls, comfy leather chairs and sofas, with a good layout.
I guess the Temple Bar could be considered a 'House of Fun'. It is packed out on Friday and Saturday nights and busy other nights too. There is plenty going onas well as an excellent top quality foozball table, there is pool, jenga, giant connect 4, a very popular billiards table, darts, and other games.
While away the afternoon, chat with friends, immerse yourself in one of the super cozy sofas, read the paper, or join in on one of the evening activities - a popular Quiz on Sunday night with lots of prizes and a bountiful jackpot. Tuesday nights during term time are foozball team games, and the darts team play on tuesdays or wednesdays. Wednesday nights is Open Mic - there is a large stage area and some good acts. Thursday is Reggae and Friday night Karaokee fun - always well attended with plenty of laughs!!!
They also have a beer garden out the back, boasting a fine covered 'tent' area with heaters, and lots of picnic tables.
Barry the landlord and his family keep this place in tip top condition, there are always many staff on hand and a very long bar, so you can be assured to spend your time having fun with friends, and not standing at the bar waiting for drinks.
Of course a pub experience is always topped by a good sailor, and Barry is that man - he always likes to know what is going on with his pub teams and how we are doing in the Oxford league - makes sure we have a good setup for our fooz table and the lighting is correct.
Top Pub. Top Man. Top Fun.
Come down and have some fun. If you are interested in being on one of the Foozball teams, then please let me know. We have a lot of fun and are always happy to give tips and include everyone in the team who shows enthusiasm! :)
Great all around!
The seating areas were beautiful with a running colour theme throughout which I found to be very aesthetically pleasing.
The customer service was my favourite thing about my whole experience (I personally think it holds very high importance).The staff were absolutely lovely and kept up with all of our questions happily. After receiving my food I realised that there was tahini on it, which I am allergic to, and they exchanged my plate for me at no extra cost.
Most importantly I thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. The presentation was very nice and it all tasted just as good as it looked!
I would definitely come here again :)
