About JoJo's

This is the background on JoJo's, from the venue and its listings. It has live music 1 night a week. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

JoJo's is a grassroots music venue in Cowley Rd, Oxford.

Listing notes

JoJo's ‌‌‍is a cocktail-and-pizza bar at 96 Cowley Road in East Oxford that bills itself as "Oxford's Favourite for Cocktails, Pizza, and Parties" and keeps a packed week of entertainment — live music, DJs, jazz nights, quiz nights and a Wednesday open mic. The open mic runs on Wednesday evenings (the bar opens 5pm-11pm), free to play. It's a relaxed, walk-in night that suits solo songwriters and acoustic acts; a house PA with a vocal mic is provided, so bring your instrument and any pedals. Around the music, JoJo's serves artisanal pizza and a serious cocktail list in a buzzy room that's become a Cowley Road social hub. Check their Instagram (@jojoscowleyroad) for the current week's line-up, or call 01865 634292 to confirm the open mic is on.
