Happy Birthday, Oxford Exchange

It’s time to celebrate the downtown Tampa restaurant/bookstore’s 10th birthday.

Oxford Exchange

The bookstore stocks new releases as well as classics + regularly hosts signings.

September marks 10 years of Tampa’s most Instagrammable brunch spot, bookstore and community hub — Oxford Exchange. The Downtown Tampa hang is deeply wedded to our city, whether you’re a regular member of one of its book clubs, always bring friends from out of town when they visit, or just like to stop by for a latte before work.

There are a number of ways to celebrate the beloved brick landmark.

  • The restaurant + bookstore is starting off its birthday with a throwback bingo night, Thurs. Sept. 15. Tickets are $48 and include three bingo cards, appetizers, and two drink tickets. The party runs from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
  • Party like it’s 2012. Oxford Exchange’s cocktail bar + restaurant is serving 2012 blends all month long — from Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Vintage Brut to Dom Perignon Brut.
  • Try the signature cocktail of the month, aptly named Perfect 10, and made with champagne, pineapple, lime juices, and more.
