Superb, friendly pub with a great atmosphere and great tapas made on the premises out of quality ingredients and good value. Bottled and draft cider. They have band etc on upstairs, (though I've yet to go). Well worth a visit.

8 of us came here last night, Robinsons is not my favourite beer, but it was in top condition here. The Tapas were superb and excellent value and the atmosphere brilliant.

The Oakwood has changed it focus since my last review (May2009). Three Robinsons beers were on offer: Unicorn, Double Hop and Dizzy Blonde. All were sampled and were judged to be excellent. Very Friendly staff, and the place has a nice vibe.

Came here on Friday 13th, Looks more like a restaurant than a pub, Friendly staff, only one ale on (Cumbria Way) and Stowford Press cider. Nice atoms, Toilets very clean. Overall a nice pub.

Nice cask ale on tap tonight, however we were in the back room and it was like being an extra in an episode of the Inbetweeners (with a hint of Shameless). Real open fire was a great touch

New management have recently started putting on some very interesting alternative bands/dj's and art exhibitions so from that point of view the 'new' Oakwood is a promising addition to the local music scene.
It looks like the owners are putting the effort in however the pub looks like a student squat from the outside. it has potential but really could do with a bit of a clean up downstairs- the carpet in the entrance hall is nasty and the dead plants in the window don't help either.

The Oakwood is a no-frills basic boozer, with the emphasis is on chat in the large main room. A single real ale, Robinsons Unicorn bitter, is served from hand pump – and is a very well kept pint indeed. The pies are good value when you can get them (two for a pound). This pub is located on the main road running through the centre of Glossop, a few moments walk down from the train station. All in all a genuine boozers pub, so why not give it a go and see what you think.

Hmm... hard to say really. I've given it a 6/10 though it depends what you're after. Not a real ale pub. Located right in the middle of Glossop, but the nearby Corner Cupboard is a better bet.
