We just knew we wanted beer and good food. The way this play is decorated with the low lighting when you walk in is also really nice, the bar and the chandeliers they have are nice. Definitely not the vibe I thought we were walking into but enjoyed it! First day we ordered bang bang shrimp, Brussel sprouts and the pork belly BLT. The next day I was so tempted to order the same thing, but I tried their seasonal wing sauce- mango habanero and it was delicious!

We sat outside because last year this is where you had to sit to get the rum buckets. This year outside bar was closed & they had to get them from inside . Had we known this, we would have preferred to sit inside as 2 of us have hearing problems. You can imagine our reaction when live outside music was being set up. Ok. Fine. It was not awful as the volune was kept at a reasonable level. Our problem was when the singer stepped aside & brought 2 little girls up to sing. We are in a public restaurant & should not feel obligated to pay attention & listen to children while WE are trying to enjoy ourselves & celebrate a birthday. Note to the parents: if you want everyone to shhh & pay attention, rent a PRIVATE venue.

It probably hasn't changed much at all since it opened in 1925. The bartenders are friendly, the drinks are cold, and it's a fun way to spend a couple of hours. The owner, Kyle, stops in often. He's really a great guy and really cares about the place. The bar is that lovely dark, ornate wood which could never be replaced today. The jukebox is awesome. The patrons are really nice to us and we always feel welcome. Rich, the bartender, is our particular favorite.

You can sit wherever you'd like and there are games and stuff to use while you're there. For a beer company, the selection was fairly small. They did have canned cocktails that were local though!

Not much of a side on these. Wife had braised short rib and that was a good size portion and she enjoyed it. Would like to try the 2nd floor if we go here again.

While visiting from California, we met friends here as halfway point, not knowing what we were walking into so completely bias and giving this place a full chance. It's beautiful inside and out; so why is it so dead? The service was more than subpar. The place was really empty inside, but it took about 10-15 minutes for all of us to get our cocktails and they all came out at different times, so none of us had them together. What's more, due to food allergies and sensitivities, I requested my salad with dressing on the side, with shrimp; because I'm allergic to chicken. My salad came out smothered in dressing, with no protein. The server returned to our table and apologized for the missing protein, taking the salads back to the kitchen and returning with mine topped with chicken... 2 of our meals were completely wrong. At the end of the meal, two salads and and a couple glasses of wine were $93... I have to give them 3 stars. It was just alright at the end of the day.

I knew about this place when I actually lived right outside Reading but sadly I'd never been there…read moreuntil last weekend. It was kind of dead, just three or four people at the bar and people stopping in to grab beer to go. It was pretty laid back, no fuss, nice and relaxing. I particularly enjoyed the picture of Michael Constantine on the wall (the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding). I remember hearing he lived in the area... $2.25 Yuengling bottles, $1.50 PBR draughts (not my bag, the metal shavings make my throat bleed, but ok), and Leffe for $3 or 4. Some local brews on tap including a Slyfox IPA. Also, the bathrooms are so tiny (really tiny) that the sink is out in the main bar area. Wash your hands or everyone will know what a dirty little monkey you are!

They should advertise that the kitchen does not open until 6 on their web site and have a more friendly atmosphere. Very disappointed and will never go back. Definitely a no star
