Reading has a diverse selection of pub venues for hire. You can book classic British pubs like The Greyfriar, cocktail bars such as Be At One, or stylish music venues like The Jazz Café. Larger venues like Market House and Revolución de Cuba offer private function spaces for big events, while smaller spots like The Firefly Cellar Bar provide intimate settings.
It’s best to book your venue at least 2-3 months in advance, especially for peak times like weekends and the holiday season. Popular venues in Abbey and Whitley can fill up well in advance. For a last-minute booking, you may still find availability, but options could be limited.
