Next on our list of the best nightlife in Oxford is the notorious Atik. The club itself has had several different identities over the last few years. Is there a coherent theme to Atik? Who is it for? It’s hard to say, but they do insist that you wear smart shoes before you are allowed in.

Next on our list of the best nightlife in Oxford is Big Society. Inexplicably taking its name from one of Oxford Alumnus and lover of pork David Cameron’s trademark political ideologies, Big Society is a real hoot. One of the coolest bars on Oxford’s famous Cowley Road, Big Soc serves up cocktails, craft beer and junk food late into the night. Gin and Tonics served in jars? Sure! Hipsters dressed in 17th century french military regalia? Why not! Fried chicken served in macaroni cheese? No thanks I’m vegan.

Warehouse Bar
Botley is the Kreutzberg of Oxford. So said no one ever, but if they did they did they would probably be referencing the recently established Tap Social Movement. Hidden away in a warehouse in West Oxford’s Botley is a real gem. The Tap Social is a craft brewery and community space which provides training and employment to people currently serving or recently released from prison sentences. The beer is delicious, and live music can be found there most nights of the week. Incredible!
