The Gateway, Reading

This pub has a lively atmosphere especially with regard to sports, which is why my friend and I popped in to watch the second half of the world cup final.

All seemed good until the final whistle and the landlord said to us we need to buy drinks if we want to watch the football! We were suprised to say the least, as the football was over and we had already bought four drinks (Bulmers - not particularly cheap either) of which the empty bottles were on the table next to us. He mumbled something after we pointed this out to him, but it wasn't an apology that's for sure.

I'm angry at how he talked to us, and disappointed at his lack apology when he clearly made a mistake. My advice is to drink here for a lively atmosphere and to watch the footie or rugby. However, please make sure you ALWAY have a drink in your hand or you run the risk of being talked to like sh*te.

Thumbs up to Spain, but thumbs down to the landlord! ;)
