Top bar in Reading. Special mention about the security and bartenders. They all are so friendly. Abi in particular is awesome. I like coming to the bar every week for the hospitality and music.
Wow what an incredible night, will definitely be back again! Cocktails and good music and £2.50 drinks on Fridays - literally the best place to go out out in reading! Abi is our favourite bartender, we always go to her for drinks because she’s incredibly friendly! Shout out to the fabulous security team too, they’re always so professional whilst being kind and smiley at the same time
Thank you for great night out, really enjoyed the music and amazing drink deals!! Isaac behind the bar was so nice and friendly, an outstanding young lad!
Visited here on Friday for a quick drink as the music sounded good from outside. Walking in, one of the bouncers asked for my ID, which I was about to provide. Whilst doing this, another female bouncer appeared from outside and yelled at me to get back outside. She then insisted on me standing on a very specific spot, emptying my pockets and searching me (despite me being male and her being female, which is unacceptable). Once this was done, I then re-provided my ID, which was scanned and had my mugshot taken (that's a lot of effort just to get a drink). In the window, they advertised a Friday deal of "Drinks £2.50". Not "Selected Drinks" or anything like that, just "Drinks". It turns out it's only a very limited selection. A pint of Coors costs £4.50, for example. After paying at the bar, one of the staff came over to me a few minutes later and claimed my card was declined, so I was asked to pay again. They couldn't provide a receipt for the declined transaction as apparently the printer was broken. I noticed the hygiene for spirits was very poor. The measuring cups for the spirits are stored in a tray of water. The staff put their hands (without cleaning them) into the water each time to retrieve a cup, use it, then put it back in the water. I wonder how many germs are transferred from fingers into drinks? Unlike a lot of the other recent reviewers, I didn't get to know the name of any of the staff.
