About The Mad Hatter Wine Bar
The Mad Hatter Wine Bar is a family-run bar and wine bar in Cirencester, at 32 Castle St. Karaoke is played in the pub, and music plays in the evenings, so the venue suits people who want a night of singing. Regional beers are served at the bar for guests who want something other than wine. Door staff are on duty. The space is small, with one toilet per gender. Dogs are welcome, which means owners can bring their dog along.

- Susan Lane
“Absolutely awful pub. Way too small. Owner allows too many people in packed like sardines. Owner is rude and stuck up with a disgusting attitude. Owner allowed a guy to attack another and then allow the guy who attacked someone to go back into the pub when the bouncers said no. Too expensive for what the pub is. Enclosed smoking area (against the law). 1 toilet for each gender so using eachother toilets. Heard lots and lots of things about the woman who owns this pub and it is not good! Someone else needs to run this pub and own it! Decides to report the review from a previous review made because the landlady knows this review above ^ is very true.”
- John Broughton
“Having just visited for a night cap, I can categorically tell you not to do the same. We were told by the land lady, to effectively, stop talking… Yes, unbelievable. We were holding a civil conversation at a volume greater or equal to the diabolical karaoke and she hovered over us and shut down our conversion repeatedly. So we took our money elsewhere. What a bizarre place. Don’t go.”
