General New Sports bar in the Ozone

[Northstandboy]

Hey

A new Sports Bar called J's has opened in the Ozone, above Frankie and Bennys.

Open from 10am-11pm Sunday-Thursday and until 1130pm on Fri-Saturday. Serving Coors, Strongbow and grub!

Did anyone try it out on NYD? May be worth a visit.

How much is a bottle of pop in the Quad?

 

[Concretebob]

I wish the owners good luck. Shame the rent is going to the parasite.

Likely they will have the ubiquitous (and quite frankly terrible) Doom Bar on keg, as that's brewed by Molson Coors.

Won't be using this latest facility, maybe It has been long, very long, in the planning at the Ozone and might explain in part why The Priory? has been condemned to rot, because given the choice between the bright lights of the Ozone or a light and bitter at the Priory? - no contest as far as I'm concerned, and I'd guess many more would feel this way, if the cynical closure of the listed PH hadn't been allowed to occur.

it does that on mine too

heres a very brief overview

Its called J's sports bar and has a sign over the door proclaiming 'the fourth stand'

Salli Merola is the owner

its focusing on pool and football

the owner hopes Oxford United fans make it their favoured watering hole on matchdays

J's bar pay rent to the same landlord as Oxford United FC

mcf86 view/comment above ^^^ is one I agree with

 

[Borntobeyellow]

Do they allow away fans in and is it overly policed my doorman

I will put the questions about real ale and away fans to the owner.

It makes this forum's advert usage look class

Plus, will oufc be gaining anything from the profits -since the customers are only there coz it's Oxford?!!

I went in and it was decent, got served easy, especially considering it was the first day which is normally a nightmare for bars/pubs with teething problems.

It’s a sports bar in a leisure complex, if you are expecting an olde worlde pub supping half an obscure ridiculously named bitter then it ain’t going to be for you.

If you want a pint/ bottle that you will get in most normal bars/pubs while having the prem games on a lot of tvs, with the plus side of plenty of pool tables if that’s your thing, all within a very short walk of the stadium then give it a go, I will be using it sometimes.

The whole Kassam getting money thing ain’t perfect but he has plenty of cash whether you drink in there or not, it’s not possible for us to hit him in the pocket so if the new bar adds to peoples match day experience that’s a good thing for OUFC.

Away fans were in there Monday, there was 2 doormen who seemed friendly

 

[windmill]

Its a short walk to the turnstiles, so why not.Worth giving a try. Coors....... not for me , I am more of a Tennents Super man. I have been going to the Blackbird since the year 2000 and have not even been acknowledged by the Landlord . It must be me. Never mind, lets give it a go. Will debrief on the prices in due course.

[QUOTE="Oufcad30, post: 5631, member: 89"] Away fans were in there Monday, there was 2 doormen who seemed friendly [/QUOTE]

potentially J's bar could be designated away fans (only) for high profile /cat. a home games?
IF PC956 has joined this new YF , maybe he could give a bit of insight on wether J's bar
is a contender for cat ' a matches, designated for away fans ?

most football fans are creatures of habit (and superstition too), if the individual pre match ritual is not a constant, as in disrupted, it'll be a 'no' from many ...me included

 

[Cass63]

Got to agree about glen the landlord of the blackbird, although he did smile at me one Boxing Day about 10 years ago. Paula was always spot on though.

Did you complain that the Chateauneuf du Pape was at the wrong temperature or something? Or maybe you left some of the seared pigeon breast in blackcurrant and juniper jus on the plate?

Or maybe you didn't use the secret password that Glen has given the rest of us.

Chef can be volatile and vindictive

 

[Northstandboy]

They do not sell Real Ale atm, but are open to requests:

Cider-wise: Magners
Carling cider
Strong bow dark fruits
Rekorderlig

Away fans are allowed in, unless the OB tell them otherwise.

 

[Ovaltoyou]

Thanks for that ESB. Based on that I will not be going in there.
