Gin and Cocktail Tasting for Two at The Mad Hatter Bar
Overview
This Gin and Cocktail Tasting for Two is perfect for those with a penchant for the unconventional and a passion for the world of booze. Located in the thriving heart of East Oxford, The Mad Hatter welcomes you through unassuming doors to reveal an eccentric and beguiling speakeasy, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
Kick things off with a welcome drink as your session begins with an introduction, before getting stuck in to the thick of things. You’ll be learning all about gin’s chequered past and its production, going through the different styles (with a generous helping of samples to match), and debunking the myths of the spirit dubbed ‘Mother’s ruin.’
Led by award-winning mixologists, you can wash down your new knowledge with three spirit tasters, three cocktail samples and top it all off by sharing one of the Mad Hatter’s legendary Teapot cocktails.

Quirky
Great evening in this quirky, fun friendly and well presented experience. The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable they were dressed in prohibition period dress which was fun. The place was decorated with references to Alice in Wonderland everywhere and the other visitors were friendly and fun too. Would definitely recommend this 😁
