Details

Picking up one of the old-fashioned telephones on your table to order a "Tweedledum" sharing cocktail served in a Hendricks tea set is just the beginning of your journey at The Mad Hatter on Iffley Road. This eccentric, speakeasy-style bar, inspired by Lewis Carroll's tales, invites you into a whimsical world where riddles might greet you at the door and molecular creations bubble alongside New World wines and European brews. Located in Oxford's vibrant East, this destination venue has carved a niche for itself with its quirky serves – think hats and giant teacups – and an atmosphere that encourages leaving your troubles at the threshold. It's a place where the unexpected is standard, and the cocktail menu itself is an adventure, often hidden within hardback copies of Wonderland books.

The curious charm extends beyond the inventive drinks and unique ordering system; The Mad Hatter is a hub of lively entertainment. Depending on the night, you might find yourself enjoying live jazz that harks back to the Prohibition era, or perhaps a "mad" karaoke night will be in full swing. The venue frequently hosts an eclectic mix of events, from stand-up comedy and cabaret to DJ nights and even drag queen bingo. For those looking for a more hands-on experience, cocktail masterclasses are regularly available, promising to share the secrets behind their award-winning concoctions. With private karaoke rooms also available for hire, it’s an ideal spot for a memorable group outing or a uniquely spirited night out in Oxford.
