The 5* for food is for drinks! I booked a table for my birthday celebrations. The atmosphere was great, though the live music was a bit disappointing! The staff and servers were polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks, how they were made and recommendations for individual palettes. The drinks themselves were great. Presented well, and tasted fantastic. Definitely recommend for smaller groups!

I have visited milk several times now and the drinks are always fantastic. As someone who has been to many cocktail bars and made countless cocktails myself, I can confidently say that they know what they are doing. They use high-quality ingredients, including their own mixers instead of store-bought syrups. They also offer a great variety of non-alcoholic cocktails and have excellent DJs. The prices are fair and the service is top-notch.

This is a special independent restaurant in Reading, owned by a vegan. I usually don't enjoy bars and pubs (as their non-alcoholic options are often subpar), but this place is perfect for gathering with friends, whether they drink alcohol or not.

We had a fantastic time at this restaurant, even though our evening was quite spontaneous. We decided to go to the comedy club on a Tuesday night, where artists were testing out new material. The venue itself was impressive, a small building surrounded by tall skyscrapers. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, as it is also a rum bar with delicious cocktails. We took advantage of the happy hour until 7 pm. The compere did a fantastic job, having hosted the evening for 10 years and keeping us entertained with his humor. While not every act appealed to us personally, we still enjoyed the night overall. It was a much-needed break with great drinks, a lovely venue, an entertaining compere, and a few laughs to brighten up our Tuesday night.
