Wine Vaults Public House

The Wine Vaults Public House, commonly branded simply as The Wine Vaults or The Vaults, is a public house in Banbury, in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England. It operates as a drinking and entertainment venue rather than a conventional food-led pub, positioning itself around live music, cocktails, games and a garden stage. Its own marketing describes it as "Banbury's finest" and as the "heartbeat of live music in Banbury." The venue's weekly programme is unusually dense for a single pub. According to its official website, it hosts live bands every Saturday, a Jazz Jam every Tuesday that is open to all musicians, a pub quiz every Wednesday at 8:30pm, an open mic night on the second Thursday of each month, and interactive darts. In summer, performances move to an outdoor garden stage; in winter they are held on an indoor stage. The pub also promotes a food partnership with Uprise Pizza Co., including £10 pizzas on quiz nights. Entry to most events is free, with the quiz charging £2 per person. The Wine Vaults is a local, independent-style hospitality business rather than a national chain brand. It is listed in Wikidata as a pub in Banbury, Cherwell, Oxfordshire, England, UK. Its online presence centres on its own website, thewinevaultsbanbury.com, and on social media event feeds, from which its "What's On" listings auto-update. The pub's identity is tied to its name — a reference to wine vaults or cellars — and to its role as a grassroots music and community venue in the town. Because the venue is small and privately run, detailed corporate information such as founding year, ownership structure and parent company is not established in the available evidence. What is clear is its operating model: a town-centre pub that monetises through drinks, ticketed or low-cost events, quiz nights and food collaborations, while building a reputation as a live entertainment destination in Oxfordshire.
