Now called The Castle Tap, real ale from micros as well as craft beer offerings.

Locals pub with football on the TV the day we went; was grim when we arrived and the match was in progress but as soon as the footie finished lots of people left and it turned into a friendly old fashioned pub. Only one real ale on at a time but very good: fff Moondance and Alton Pride I think.
|
Back street local, except it's not on a back street but on one of the main routes into town. Seems to be very much a locals' place. They do have a real ale on (usually from fff I believe) but my mate and I were the only ones drinking it on my last visit. Still, it's not a bad place, and nicely old-fashioned if that's what you like.

An old Victorian beer house, and one of the last of its kind in Reading. Small, functional, and home to a handful of regulars. Friendly enough and beer is generally good. Unless you live next door, it's a bit too out of the way for a casual drop in unfortunately.

A large pub in a leafy part of Reading, A high ceiling and a racing theme with the footy scores interrupted for a race on the TV. I spotted 2 pub cats. Seems a bit of a locals pub. Had 1 real ale fff Moondance, it tasted like vinegar, after our group voiced their opinions the offending beer was taken off and a new barrel was put on, it was very nice.

is this pub now called 120 Castle Street?
|
Boring pub. Only good for music bands.
|
Music venue. Not much else to say, quite uninspiring.
|
New landlord has taken over (formerly of the Claddagh Ring), so let's see if he can this place back on its feet.
|
Under threat of closure due to a Change of Use application being submitted to the Council.
|
Goes through licensees as fast as Amy Shitehouse smoked crack pipes.
Not a bad little place, but lacks any real character, it needs a good bit of investment.
Has a couple of ales on - quality usually fair to good. Normally one from Triple FFF but not been in for a while, may have changed again.
Dart board gets a few games and there�s a stupidly small �beer garden� (I use that phrase loosely) but otherwise a bit of a non-entity really.
Needs a sustained period of good, solid management and a few quid thrown at it.
|
Tatty but has a good atmosphere.
|
Good selection of beer, with some interesting bottles, too (Hampshire Penny Black, for example).
|
Decent live music venue if a tad small and slightly rundown interior
|
Got much better after change of landlord and name. Small but quite pleasant inside if a bit loud (jukebox)
|
Inoffensive pub, good beer.
Not much else to it really!
