Dinner Party & Drinks at The Cape 🍷

# Dinner Party & Drinks at The Cape 🍷

Oxford’s easiest night out to connect and reconnect with likeminded folks — free entry, great food, and even better company.

Summer’s over, the city is alive again, and we’re kicking things off with a relaxed night upstairs at The Cape of Good Hope. Think of it as a chill dinner party with space for everyone: tables for chatting, drinks flowing at the bar, and plenty of chances to meet new faces and some familiar ones.

This is not a club night. It’s low-key, social, and all about connection. Bring a friend or come solo — you’ll find it easy to strike up a conversation in a fun crowd with engaging hosts. If the mood is right later in the evening, we’ll even fire up the karaoke for those who want to belt out a tune.

What to expect:

• A friendly crowd (young professionals, postgrads, locals)
• Free entry — just turn up, order food and drinks
• Tables arranged to encourage mixing
• Optional karaoke as the night goes on
• Hosts from IRL Oxford there to welcome you and introduce you around

Why come?

Because Oxford can feel fragmented after summer — the university dominates the scene, but adults and young professionals often end up without a curated social life.

We’re building something different: a community space where you can relax, laugh, and feel part of the city again.

📍 Where: The Cape of Good Hope (Function Room)
📅 When: Saturday 20 September, from 7:00pm
💸 Cost: Free entry (but buy food & drink at the bar)
💸 Optional: Pay 1 quid for a chance to win a free drink in the raffle!

***

👉 RSVP here so we know you’re coming, and bring a friend along. It’s the simplest way to get back into the Oxford rhythm — dinner, drinks, and good company.

IRL Oxford exists to make the city social and vibrant for adults. We create events that cut through the student-dominated nightlife and offer real spaces for connection — whether that’s over dinner and drinks, live music, or a big community party. Our promise is simple: inclusive, well-run events where you can meet new people, feel at home, and build the kind of friendships Oxford often makes hard to find.
