Anuba

The good thing about Anuba is that is one of the few (if not the only one) place where you can get in for free in Oxford. This is good when you just want to have a drink and maybe dance few songs after 1am when all the bars are closed.
Personaly, the best thing about Anuba is the Latino Wednesdays, for £3 pounds you can enjoy about 3 hours of salsa an bachata music which even though is not the best salsa music still does the job and if you are into dancing you will meet a lot of good dancers and very healthy atmosphere, until 11.30pm or so when Bridge customers start to arrive for the first few drinks here before the move on to the club getting it a bit too crowded sometimes with people that is not dancing.

Anuba is a branch of the infamous Bridge night club and serves as a taster for a night out. Fortunately, its connection to the Bridge ends there, so don’t be put off the club itself if you dislike this place.
And dislike it you probably will. The best thing about it is its sofas. Hardly a great warm-​up for a night on the dancefloor, but it’s pretty obvious that this bar serves mainly as a place to get clubbers drunk so they’ll spend lots of money in the club itself. It’s also the overflow for the queue, so on busy nights lots of disgruntled students are bundled in and have to wait for their number to be called before being allowed in to the club. This makes the atmosphere in this state of limbo a bit tense, as most people don’t want to be there.
The drinks are typical Oxford prices, so not particularly cheap, but there’s a Happy Hour from 6.30−9.30 daily, which eases the pain a bit. The cocktails are a nice change, but watch out for getting a glass half full of ice on most drinks.
The music is typical club music; well, typical Oxford club music, so mainly chart music, popular dance and R’n’B. It’s very loud, which is great in the Bridge itself, but not so much if you’re just after a drink with friends, as you can’t really hear someone standing right next to you.
I’d give this place a miss and go to somewhere with more character to give your night out a kick-​start. Chances are, you’ll end up here anyway if the queue’s long enough.
