Themed Bars & Restaurants in Oxford Street
Sip, Savor, and Stroll: Oxford Street’s Tastiest Secrets
Welcome to Oxford Street — where the shopping bags are heavy, but the cocktails are light, and the only thing more diverse than the fashion is the food. Whether you're craving rooftop rosé, underground speakeasy vibes, or a plate of something that makes your taste buds do the cha-cha, this iconic stretch of London has you covered. From posh bites to pub grub, Oxford Street is more than just retail therapy — it’s a culinary catwalk. So loosen your belt, raise your glass, and let’s dive fork-first into the delicious chaos.
100 Club
Welcome to The 100 Club — where legends don’t just play, they echo.
Tucked beneath the buzz of Oxford Street lies a basement that’s louder than history itself. Since 1942, The 100 Club has been the beating heart of London’s live music scene — hosting jazz greats during wartime, birthing punk in the '70s, and throwing indie into the spotlight in the '90s. If these walls could talk, they’d probably sing.
From Glenn Miller to The Sex Pistols, Louis Armstrong to Oasis, this isn’t just a venue — it’s a rite of passage. It’s where jitterbug survived the Blitz, punk exploded into rebellion, and secret gigs from rock royalty still shake the floorboards.
Nordic Bar
Nordic Bar: Where Vikings Party and Beer Pong Is a Sport
Just a few steps from Oxford Street, Nordic Bar is what happens when Scandinavia crashes into London nightlife — and brings a shot wheel with it. This Viking-themed haven in Fitzrovia is more than a bar; it’s a full-blown saga. Think towering screens that rival Norwegian fjords, retro arcade games, and cocktails strong enough to make Thor blush
FAM Bar & Kitchen
Welcome to FAM Bar — Where Every Sip Feels Like a Hug from Your Favourite Aunt
Tucked just off Oxford Street, opposite Selfridges, FAM Bar isn’t just a cocktail bar — it’s your new local, even if you’re only local for the weekend. With a name that says it all, this hidden gem welcomes you like family (the fun kind, not the awkward Christmas dinner kind). Think retro vibes, vinyl records, and bartenders who mix drinks with the flair of West End performers.
Sound Cafe & Bar
Welcome to Sound Cafe & Bar – Where Marble Arch Meets Musical Mischief
Step into a space where the coffee hits the right notes, the cocktails play in perfect harmony, and the vibe is always set to “good times.” Nestled in the heart of Marble Arch, Sound Cafe & Bar isn’t just a place to grab a drink — it’s where London’s rhythm lives. Whether you're here for a cheeky espresso, a jazzy brunch, or a late-night groove, we’ve got the soundtrack to your day covered. Come for the food, stay for the vibes — and don’t be surprised if your flat white comes with a side of funk.
