Freud, Oxford

Cafe and cocktail bar.

Cocktail bar which opened in 1988 housed in a grand neoclassical building with an Ionic portico. The building was constructed as the Church of St Paul, the first Anglican parish church to be constructed in Oxford after the Reformation. The new church and parish was created to serve the growing community of Jericho. It was designed by H. J. Underwood and built in 1836. The church closed in 1969 and the Oxford Area Arts Council bought the building in 1975 with plans to convert it into a theatre and exhibition hall, but this never materialized. Somewhat dilapidated but it was still pleasant to eat and drink amongst the decaying columns. It is believed to be privately owned as a 'hobby'. Closed at the end of 2024 and no sign of activity.
