    Nice atmosphere and a good vibe for a somewhat urban pub (if Reading is urban). It's practically…read morepart 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?

    The pub of my youth! The atmosphere here is wicked. Always students. And watch out for Monday…read morenights 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 decor 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.

    I have to say that this was a pretty awesome pub, especially with all the beers that they had on…read moretap. Mind you, being an Outlander, I can't actually say whether I know if the beers are craft or not, but the selection was pretty awesome, especially since this was a suburban type of pub, well, close to it because it was sort of on the edge of the centre of Reading. Yeah, I liked it.

    I hate you, Paul. I really do. You've said everything I would have said about the Nag's Head in…read moreyour review. :-) This is my local, right at the end of my street. It's a very friendly place, warm and welcoming. They're also outgoing. When the Reading Half-Marathon route goes past, they set up a "beer stop" table out front that was crowded with supporters. Every time a runner went past and picked up a beer, there was a loud round of "yay!" from all. And sometimes, a runner would *almost* take a beer but would think better or it (have you ever tried walking and drinking a beer, let alone running?), they would "awwww". Hilarious! The place is always busy, with people sitting at most of the tables just talking. Sure, they're drinking beers and wine, but it's more of a neighborhood hangout and less a "bar." Which isn't to say that the beers aren't worth the trip by themselves. Yes, they have a few of the mass produced bottled beers in the fridge under the bar, but the taps are loaded with "real ales" and ciders from local breweries. The stuff is constantly changing based on what was ready that day or that week, so if you like something you better find out what it is now, because it's probably not going to be there next time. :-( Food choices are limited, but what they have, it's good. Baguettes loaded with something yummy at lunchtime and some interesting special at dinnertime. All good quality, but it does sell out. Note: the Nag's Head consistently wins awards for "best ale in Berkshire". The web site also lists the beers currently on tap.

    I'm not entirely clear as to why the Hexagon is so named. It didn't seem particularly hexagonal in…read moreshape, but I should probably look this fact up and return to it at another time. The Hexagon's shape isn't the important issue here though, what's important is whether it was a good venue for Alexa G and I to learn about science and fawn over Brian Cox and Ben Goldacre. And the answer is YES. This theatre might have been tricky to find in the first instance, but it's handily located for Reading Central train station and a good few local amenities. The bar is expensive as hell, but aren't they all in theatres? Meanwhile the venue lends itself very well to performances of all kinds. The great thing about the Hexagon is that even if you're in the nosebleeds like we were, you're still not actually far away from the stage. It's small enough to be intimate yet large enough to hold a decent amount of revellers. While it seems a little dated in places, overall it harbours a pleasant atmosphere... and the bathrooms are pretty well maintained, which is always nice when you're spending your hard-earned on entertainment. Overall, I'd be more than happy to attend another show at the Reading Hexagon. Four enthusiastic stars to it!

    I was surprised how small this theatre was when we recently visited to see Derek Acorah. Saying…read morethat its not a bad thing because it made the performance more intimate. I didn't think it was lit up very well from the outside - we parked in a multi storey right next to (more luck than judgement!) but had to ask directions. It is a lovely theatre once you are inside with seating and food and a bar to enjoy while you wait. The doors are clearly signposted and the staff seemed very helpful and friendly. There was a good atmosphere in the theatre.
