About This Pub
Ah, The Tipsy Mercer – what a gem it is in Abingdon! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really knows how to turn an ordinary night into something special. The staff stand out as the real stars; they're not just serving drinks, they're part of the fun, chatting away and even whipping up personalised cocktails that leave you smiling. Whether it's for a hen party, a works do, or just a casual catch-up, the atmosphere is spot on – think lively vibes with room to dance and plenty of seating options that make everyone feel at home. The drinks menu is a winner too, packed with delicious cocktails and a solid range of beers and gins that keep the good times rolling. On the flip side, though, it's primarily an evening spot, so if you're fancying a sunny afternoon session, you might be out of luck. And honestly, their website could do with a bit more detail to help plan your visit properly. All in all, it's a place I'd happily recommend for a laugh and a drink, as long as you're up for some nighttime antics – it's got that warm, welcoming feel that makes you want to come back for more.

I had my hen party at Tipsy Mercer and it was absolutely incredible! The bar staff were amazing — so friendly and fun, and we loved that they joined in with us. We did the conga, lots of dancing. And they really looked after our group and made the night unforgettable. We honestly didn’t want it to end! Thank you to DJ, Chris, and Jess for giving us the best night. You made it so special! My group are already trying to find an excuse to come back.
My partner and I stopped by for a cheeky cocktail after dinner. I wanted to give a special mention to Christopher who served us with so much personality- he even made us special cocktails! It was such a great experience. Such a refreshing change to get friendly service which goes above and beyond. The other bar staff, Jess and Jake, were also lovely and made excellent drinks. We’ll definitely be back- especially if the twister ice lolly cocktail makes it onto the permanent menu!
We were fortunate to have sole use of the function room upstairs for a family and friends gathering.The staff were so helpful and the drinks were delicious. The room was light and had lots of different seating. I'd thoroughly recommend this venue and DJ (who served us) was spot on. Many Thanks.
Been to this place a few times. Great craft beers & a wide selection of gins, cocktails looked great but not really my drink. Atmosphere was good & service was great. I will definitely return.
We had our works Christmas party here last night and I genuinely cannot stress enough how absolutely brilliant it was. The team were exceptional! The cocktails were delicious and fast flowing but more than that the team danced, sang and went a long way to making the whole night as great as it was! Even stepping in to provide the music after an issue with the band. They couldn’t have done more! Thank you!
