Writing on Facebook, the club said: “We’re back! Don’t miss your chance to party until 3am.”
Other clubs in the city will reopen on June 21 – when the plan is to remove all legal limits on social contact.
ATIK Oxford is one of the clubs dusting down its glitter balls in preparation for a June reopening.
The Park End Street venue’s general manager, Stephen Fleury, said: “It’s been a tough year for everyone and for young people it’s been especially difficult to have so many freedoms curtailed.
“Nightclubs may have been the first to close and the last to open, but we can’t wait to throw open our doors, switch on our strobes and turn up the volume on our sound systems to create fun but safe nights out.
“It’s really important that we have the opportunity to reopen without any restrictions that are not in line with the rest of hospitality.”
