Went to the blue boar for a night out and its definitely the best late night bar to visit in abingdon! Great music, Amazing vibe and friendly staff! Drinks are reasonably priced, Would definitely recommend ?

A great venue for all to enjoy. the staff are very friendly behind the bar,it's like little and large on a Friday and Saturday night but both equally as handsome. The door staff are great and very welcoming even though the taller one is full of the tisums. ? definitely worth the visit!

Where else would you want to go when drinking in Abingdon? This place most of the time is the latest open, allways great music, great atmosphere and never any issues, the bar staff make me feel welcomed and the door staff make me feel safe (helps there good looking) will be comming back most weekends from now on.

You can expect service with a smile in the Boar as the staff are all incredibly friendly, welcoming and dashingly handsome, especially on a Friday and Saturday night! Get yourself in there for a great night out, see what all the fuss is about!

After returning to this pub from many years ago, I had to google it to see if it was open , boarded up windows smashed windows , but I was intrigued as it said open online , I entered to a pub with no one in it , they had one beer tap on fosters and selling cans of strongbow dark fruit for £4.50 , they also had 2 bottle beer , there was car seats in the middle of the floor prams and sticky floors , like a nightclub at the end of the night . Really nice staff that severed me made me feel welcome , but you can see first hand that the pub is on its last legs by the looks of it debt to the breweries. A-shame use to be a good pub years ago .

First night out in abingdon, great laugh and good drinks for a night venue

Just a nice straightforward pub. Doesn't try to be a restaurant or "sports (ie football)" bar. They just need to clear the clutter from one end (right of the bar).
Spent evening with my sons, celebrating my 60th birthday

Wow where do I begin, shocking service provided by untrustworthy employees. Staff on the door other than one, no SIA training. The owner is clearly on some sort of power trip deciding who he wants in or out. Absolutely shocking save your money and go somewhere else, literally anywhere else. This bar is awful. Kicking everyone out for no reason other than the owner’s girlfriend desired so is clearly not acceptable for a locally run Bar. Shocking place to be avoided at all costs by anyone who values there time or money.

Paid £5 entry into what is a pretty grotty pub, although it sounded lively so we went in. Realised within minutes this is the local haven for chavs, so asked the bouncer where I could safely leave my coat. I was told I could leave it on the coat rack (in full sight and easy to steal from) or hide it underneath the pool table on the filthy floor. I ended up trying to hide it in a corner of the pub. Within 15 minutes my £300 coat had been stolen, along with my friends £50 jacket. The bar staff did what they could to help, but despite having the culprit caught on CCTV and "knowing exactly who it is", I still don't have my coat back and no sign of it being returned. The owner did seem like a nice guy and was genuinely trying to get my stolen items back to me, but this doesn't excuse the fact that there are known thieves being allowed into the place. Hopefully the police can find the culprit so it doesn't happen again to anyone else.

I went here Friday around 11pm the bouncer said to produce our wallets and I refused and asked whether under Sia regulations he was allowed to even search personal items. Of course I understand the need to check people before they come in, and I was wrong, they are able to check wallets. However I now understand that before that they must ask permission and explain the establishments policy that requires them to ask to search. In actuality the man just said "show me your wallet" to which I refused and implored my friend to refuse but he went through his. Felt like a criminal and without him asking for permission to search and without directly stating the policies of the pub that would require wallets being searched. I believe this In breach of Sia regulations, and another example of a bouncer forgetting the bounds of his authority. Another note they had no daught beer at all, none, and for a pub that's rather a bad sign
