Reading pubs

The Three Guineas outside the station is the usual away fans pub. The shuttle buses to the MadStad are only 2 mins walk from there and take about 10mins if traffic is OK. There are no pubs near the stadium, although there is a bar in concourse. It's a soulless hole, if we take 400 we'll make more noise than them.

Stayed in Reading a few years ago and found Town Centre decent for a beer, can’t think of the pub names but they’re all fairly close together. Didn’t someone say we’ve sold 650 so far? Excellent if true
 
On the one occasion I saw Pool at the Madejski I went in one in the centre that had little rooms and was a very old building. That was the only good one I found but it was a while ago - 2011/12.
 
The World turned upside down, on the Basingstoke road is a good shout, have parked there on several occassions and walked the ten-fifteen miunutes to the ground.

I think that's The Alehouse. I found myself in there about 5yrs ago. The other lads I was with had got the train home. I was staying over. Been drinking before, during, and after the game as you do, but the two pints of Cider I had in there served out of a cardboard box and about 8 per cent put me on the floor. I was roaring . Worth a go. Small wooden pub right in the centre, beer mats on the ceiling that kind of real ale type boozer.

That's the one. NB. Don't - at the back end of a session - order cider from these boxes. You'll find your brain no longer talks to your legs.

That's the one I've always used I think. It also banned the use of mobiles whilst inside.

I thought that neanderthal place was called the Hobgoblin? LSG was founded that day as a few of us buggered off to find some lager, and use our phones!!!

A quick bit of Google and indeed, it's the 'Alehouse' (formerly known as the Hobgoblin).....I shall sleep easier tonight!!! They may as well make beards and chunky jumpers mandatory in that place.......

Local one for you Newbury, Monks Retreat one of the better pubs around the station.
 
My Royals mate says the best pub in Reading is the Boundary, 21-23 St Mary's Butts?

He also just pointed out to me that we haven't won on a Wednesday since 2021. 😣
 
The last couple of times I've gone to The World Turned upside down. Maybe 15 minutes walk to the ground. Free parking and traffic has cleared by the time I've got back to the car after the game.

Did you leave your car at the pub or was there street parking nearby ?

I frequent a few in Newbs; The Globe, Dolphin, Lock Stock and Barrel and Kings Charles are my normal choices. More often than not it's a walk with the pup, calling in at The Bowlers Arms at Falkland Cricket Club though. 👍🏼

Not sure of the name of the Pubs but start in the Wetherspoons in the little square.
