Pavlovs Dog

A great place to hang out for a few cheap beers! A really relaxed atmosphere, great décor, friendly bar staff, and of course, CHEAP BEER! A nice mix of people, ranging from students to rockers all made to feel welcome! Great heated and very large seated smoking area out back a definite plus during the winter months! Good, reasonably priced food too, so you really do have everything you need here, and at a great price!

Nice atmosphere and a good vibe for a somewhat urban pub (if Reading is urban). It’s practically part of the Broad Street Mall and on the way to the Oracle, so if your shopping is working up a thirst, it’s a decent stop.
Comfy seating and reasonably priced beers, as they move into the dinner hours the beer and burger special is a deal and a half. Very good burger, I like the Ultimate Cheese Burger and chips, please!
Often specials on drinks and meals, including Sunday Roasts and suchlike. Beer garden out back is technically a fenced in yard — I didn’t notice a whole lot of garden, but it’s nice to be outside. A nice friendly enough place, or perhaps I just haven’t been here at the wrong time?

Great little pub. Cheap beer. Staff are always friendly. Nice beer garden out the back.

Nice place. The burgers were good, as were the drinks. Fun atmosphere.

The pub of my youth! The atmosphere here is wicked. Always students. And watch out for Monday nights which are famously pound a pint. The queuing starts at around 9 p.m. and does not stop. So get there early, maybe have a pub dinner and secure a good spot for what will undoubtedly become a very rowdy evening.
Drinks are cheap, obviously even more so on Mondays. There is a really good beer garden, small but cosy at the back with heaters for winter days. They are really tight on I. D so don’t even think about sneaking in. They have done it up recently and the décor is attempting to be alittle more stylish, but to be honest the atmosphere is enough to make it a realy good night out. Thumbs up! Great place to start the night.
