Pint Shop, the award-winning Cambridge Beer House specialising in meat, bread and beer, is excited to announce it will be opening its eagerly awaited second Beer House on George Street in Oxford. The venue will open in late summer 2016.
As with its original Cambridge site, Pint Shop has chosen a building that was not previously a pub or restaurant. The large 5600ft² site is spread over two floors, with a 110 cover bar area, 110 cover restaurant space and two private dining rooms. The Oxford Pint Shop will be 60 per cent bigger than the current Cambridge site, and like the original is in the ‘cultural hub’ of the City, located directly opposite the New Theatre and just two minutes’ walk from the cinema and retail.
Formerly a building society, the site dates from the 1930s and will undergo a considerable refurbishment before opening. The move to Oxford will see an evolution of Pint Shop, with plans for an expanded drinks range with 24 keg lines, alongside draught cider. While the food offering will remain largely the same, the design of the new site will be heavily influenced by the features of the early 20th Century building, taking on a more art-deco feel.
Richard Holmes, co-owner of Pint Shop, commented: “We’re incredibly excited about Oxford and just can’t wait to get in and get it open! The location is perfect and we’re confident we can make it a real success, there’s a massive gap in the Oxford market for us. Being in the thick of the action in the cultural hub yet again is really exciting, it means we can pack the place out all day long.
“Whist it will be more evolution than revolution, there will be plenty of surprises and cool new things to get excited about in Oxford.”
