O'Pub
A pub site that leans into atmosphere while keeping the weekly schedule, drinks, menu, and visit details easy to reach.
O’Pub is an Irish pub on Park Place, a few steps off the Square in Uptown Oxford, Ohio. Craft beer at the tap, cocktails at the bar, whiskey kept close.
The design problem
O’Pub already has a name people in town recognize. The site does not need to explain the pub from scratch — it needs to feel like the room. Warm, dim, a little slower, and built around a good night out. For a business this well known, a generic template reads as a broken promise.
The practical half still has to work. A pub that fills up late needs its weekly rhythm visible at a glance instead of buried in a social feed.
What was built
The design goes warm and low-lit to match the room rather than the category: a serif headline over photography shot inside the pub after dark. The address, phone number, and opening hours sit in a strip that stays across the top, so the answers people actually want never require scrolling or a tap.
A “This Week” section gives the recurring nights — trivia, live music — a permanent home on the pub’s own site, editable without touching the layout. Drinks and menu sections sit below, and the visit section closes it out with directions. On a phone the navigation collapses into a drawer so the strip keeps its space.
