The Only LGBTQ Venue in Oxford
Don’t let the exterior put you off, especially if you are looking for a lively time, just remember to go at a busier time. Weekend evenings are really busy especially with the garden in the warmer weather. The place is really clean, as are the toilets. And the drinks are reasonably priced and well looked after. Surprised to see low rated reviews on this site. It’s a great place.

By far the worst LGBT Bar I have been in
So... I love myself a good LGBT Venue in a thriving city .. that's what I thought I would get in The Jolly Farmers... How wrong I was??
The Place is so boring I think the soul has been sucked out of it by the High Tempered owners?
Where's the Dance Music? Where's the Disco? Where's the FUN?
COME ON JOLLY FARMERS, GIVE the LGBT People of your city some joy!
If your heart isn't in anymore...give it up and let someone else have a go!

Couldn’t be more wrong
Considering this is the only real LGBTQ venue in Oxford I’m surprised to read this review. The weekend evenings are thriving with up to date lively music and full of students during term time. The day times are obviously quieter with a more “folk” type vibe but that takes nothing away from the venue. It’s cleaner now than ever, the beers are better, staff are fun and friendly. If you want something different you could always try Glamorous but you have half as much fun and the drinks are awful.

Rubbish and Rude Owner
This place changed hands during covid as others have said, used to be a great place with great young owners.... now the new owners have spent money "sprucing" it up and taken away all the fun!
The new owners are rude, self entitled and should not be in business... don't waste your time here and go in drink in other great bars In Oxford!

Far from true
I think you should put this in context, businesses change with the need of their customer. And when people get barred for being a drunken nuisance they become bitter and write rude reviews. Best thing to do is go and visit it yourself. Friday and Saturdays are busier, but it’s got a good vibe most nights. It is quieter out of term time as students frequent the venue regularly.

Great venue
Pub changed hands in 2020, new owners have spruced it up and garden is now fab. Drinks are reasonably priced too. Great venue normally very busy at the weekends.

Lively little pub
Drank here yesterday and had a great time. Great mixed crowd of varying ages, garden was rammed. Clean and tidy and better than it ever was.

Hidden Gem
To repeat other reviews.
This pub is amazing!
It’s a Pub, not a bar or club so please do remember that when visiting.
The venue itself is a old building but presented very nicely inside!
I have encountered a few bar staff there and I must say my hats off are to Mark & Kaden who work a lot of the time and also provide Karaoke Thursdays which are a great way to kick off the weekend early!
Please give this place a visit and enjoy yourselves like I did!

Karaoke Thursday’s
This place on a Thursday is banging!
Really relaxed karaoke... allowing everyone to sing!
Usually the same barman who makes cocktails and drinks quickly and very nice service!
Karaoke host allows everyone to sing and finds good versions on the tracks!
