November 2008: Reopened after closure in April.

Oxford's rock, metal and biker pub. The Gloc is a small and dingy but friendly pub tucked away down Friars Entry behind the soulless Goose. It gets pretty packed most evenings, especially on weekends, but is a good place for a lunchtime or mid-afternoon pint.

The beer is cheap, however the Guinness is good and there's Addlestones for the zoider drinkers. There is a selection of ales which are passable at best. They no longer do food, and don't seem to have plans to start again.

There's a jukebox with a good selection of old and new punk, rock and metal, and there are DJs several nights a week. It's also one of the friendlier pubs in Oxford - if you check your attitude at the door you'll find it a laid back piss-taking sort of place.
