Great staff , and though the refurbishment was a pretty big overhaul, it's got a different atmosphere that's worth checking out.

So stylish and cute bar . I love the design and the foosball so funny.

Andrew Walker

Pretty good beer selection . They've got a range from the Wild Beer Co in at the moment.

Carl Griffin

Really eccentric venue. A must visit when in Reading.

I hate it now it's been refurbed. I preferred it as a dirty old dive. Still. Have a screaming orgasm cocktail . Probably the best I've ever had.

It's a bit of a hole. Last entry is at 2am on weekends, and it closes around 4am. Expensive beer .

An interesting place to drink. Used to have an alternative image - largely due to the decor, but becoming more mainstream recently.

You won't believe it.
