Tucked at the end of Curtis Industrial Estate in Botley, a residential suburb to the west of Oxford, sits The Taproom. Launched in 2017, it was the first venue created by Tap Social Movement and is a much-loved brewery, bar and community hub. It plays host to a myriad of events - including live music, festivals, yoga, community fundraisers, weddings, business conferences, live wrestling, and more.
Outside, the dedicated parking spaces have been transformed into an atmospheric seating area that is perfect for socialising over a craft beer (crafted right on the premises!). Step inside, and you're greeted by a space that's as inviting as it is eclectic. The decor is industrial chic meets rustic charm, with wooden barrel tables and contemporary art pieces adorning the exposed brick walls. The whole venue has a laid-back yet trendy vibe, making it an ideal backdrop for a variety of events, from casual social gatherings to stylish corporate functions.
Equipped with a mezzanine level (with its own bar), state-of-the-art sound equipment, and a projector, The Taproom caters to both the practical and the aesthetic needs of any event.
