A wine bar opened by three close friends has established itself as the place to go for “unusual” and “fascinating” wines that are imported directly.
Summertown Wine Bar at 267 Banbury Road opened its doors in March, nestling in effortlessly to the lively quarters of north Oxford with an offering of live music, continental charcuterie and rare wines.
General manager Emily Robotham, who has lived in Oxford for 12 years, said: “Things are going really well. We’ve established ourselves nicely with regular live music nights which people seem to love, and we’re really excited to be sharing some fascinating wines from small producers.
“It’s gone down really well with Summertown folk and people coming from further afield.”
The aperitif artist owns the venue with her two friends, Michael and Graeme, who own and run Grape Minds, a wine shop around the corner from Summertown Wine Bar.
