    Been enjoying late night drinks in there for a few years now but not anymore because of the disgusting behaviour of the staff recently. I was refused entry on the 13/05 because apparently I am a drug user who was up to no good the previous night 🤣🤣. Firstly, I was not in the pub the previous night and secondly I am 100% not a drug user. Then to top the night off, a friend of mine (who was allowed in)questioned this decision and was asked to leave herself 🤣. Don't know what's going on in there at the moment but they clearly need to get their facts right and improve on their people skills.

    Reading isn't far from London but the atmosphere is like the most rural Britain. Been there twice and twice regretted.

    On my way to London I got off the bus and noticed this colourful place. Decided to do what I love to do, just get in for a pint of Magners. This place has been a treat! Especially thanks to 'Nobody's Baby' and a sweet, bar guy Adam. Few hours with yous made my day. What else can I say. If you don't like happy people, this place isn't for you. Performance at the highest level, even Ru Paul would love to have 'Nobody's Baby' on board! See you sometime again. All the best.

    Called this bar up to find out some information regarding LGBT nights and the guy I spoke to basically said he has no idea and was quite rude.
