Revision as of 20:50, 23 July 2019
Reading has more than a hundred pubs and bars (and more besides in the surrounding villages) where people can meet, relax and socialise. The pubs and bars range in style from traditional pubs to modern bars, individual pubs to pubs in national chains, family-friendly pubs to more adult-oriented pubs with a rich variety within those spectrums. Many have food available and a substantial number have occasional live music.
Further information about the pubs can be found in the pubs’ own websites, and some groups and individuals publish their own guides to Reading’s pubs. These groups/individuals include:
- CAMRA, which maintains a comprehensive list of pubs including a summary of their facilities including, particularly, whether they have real ale available.
- Quaffable Reading, Shit & Not Shit Pubs in Reading and Explore Reading which provide reviews of some of Reading’s pubs.
This page aims to have a comprehensive list of Reading's pubs and bars with links to further details in sources such as the listings above.

Pubs and Bars in Reading
Reading’s pubs, grouped by area:
- The lists give an indication of whether the establishment is a pub, a bar, a restaurant or a club though there is some blurring between those definitions:
- Pubs tend to be more traditional and relaxed while bars tend to be more modern (often with a specific theme), but there are plenty of exceptions.
- Restaurants in the list are primarily just that, but with a bar.
- Clubs are usually only available to their members and their guests.
- Inclusion in the lists below doesn’t imply any recommendation and omission from the list is simply an error.
- The number of pubs is declining nationally so, although it is relatively unusual, be aware that you may occasionally find a pub/bar in this list has closed. It happens.
- The Ding is not responsible for the content of external sites.
