The Port Mahon is a Grade II-listed traditional free house on St Clement's Street in Oxford (OX4 1AW), a multi-room pub with a courtyard back garden and a long-standing reputation on the city's grassroots circuit. The upstairs room hosts gigs most nights — live music, comedy and talks — while the downstairs back bar runs open mic and folk sessions, so there is something on across most of the week. A PA is provided and the room welcomes both original acts and covers, making it a reliable, unpretentious stage for emerging Oxford talent as well as touring bands passing through. Real-ale free house upstairs, intimate sessions downstairs: it covers both ends of the small-venue spectrum.
