Nestled in the heart of Reading, this vibrant bar offers a unique blend of entertainment and socializing, featuring table tennis, themed nights, and happy hour specials that make it a great spot for casual hangouts or first dates. While the atmosphere is lively and energetic, some guests have noted inconsistencies in drink quality and service, particularly during peak hours. Though the pub's signage could use improvement, and restroom updates are necessary, the accessibility of sports activities and affordable drink specials contribute to its charm.

Big little find in the heart of Reading. You have obviously tried to make an entertaining experience for customers with quizzes, table tennis and theme nights. Often also have good specialties on the drinks that make it super affordable! Good place for a first date or group trip.

This pub is fantastic! The atmosphere is great and playing table tennis with friends is a lot of fun. It's only £5 for an hour, which is a good deal. Plus, there are plenty of balls available so you don't have to search around the pub for them.

Unique place to relax with friends and love ones to have drink and some food to go with it. Tennis tables are available for customers who want to play. The concept is really brilliant and unique. Other sports can also be watched on screens here. However the theme felt a bit too masculine for me. Also.... rest room need some update.

This is a great spot for table tennis, but it's best to make a reservation ahead of time. Be sure to ask about their happy hour specials - you can get drinks for a much lower price, like a bottle of Prosecco for less than £10! I do wish there was more space to play on the tables, but overall it's a good place.

This bar is top quality and is one of my favorites in Reading, possibly tied with Purple Turtle. They offer table tennis, basic food options, and great happy hour deals. The service is friendly, although the cocktail I had was not the best and could use some improvement. The atmosphere is lively and full of energy.
