  “When i almost had given hope of finding a place to listen to some good music in town i bumped into this place, absolutely awesome, they have a really good variety of beer taking into account it's a small place and very reasonable priced like a pint of white ipa for 4'90£, inside there are some nice,cozy small rooms if you are looking for some privacy, the public is mainly locals and the cool type, they played a little bit of everything including my favourite: iron maiden, judas priest, staff was nice too.”

  “Had 2 pints of budvar and price was good but best was the staff and customers. Only came in for a quick pint stayed as I started talking to the 2 gentlemen playing chess and what a treat. Nice conversation, all sorts of beers, ales and such.. Lots of Belgian beers as well some 13% alcohol. And being belgian myself I was shocked as I have lived in Reading for 3 years and never came inside here. Top tip walk towards the back of the pub for amazing labirynth of little nooks and crannies with tables and chairs. Amazing pub.”

  “We stopped by a year ago while on a day trip from London, and thought this bar/pub quaint. This time we came to the UK just to visit Reading and had to return to the Ale house. We were just going to stop by for an afternoon beer (they really don't serve food - unless you count pickled eggs or crisps) but we ended up staying for several hours. At 15:00 the place was crowded (it is pretty small anyway) and spilling out onto the sidewalk out front. The people (most of whom were clearly regulars) were welcoming and treated us as if we had been their friends and neighbors for years; they made us feel like part of the crowd. Reading is a very nice small city, and has a lot to offer, but coming to the Alehouse is almost sufficient reason alone to visit.”

  “Great selection of bevs at great prices, great service, and plenty of character-lending brew decals and bric-a-brac to gawk at while drinking.”

  “This pub is small and cosy, nestled along the bustling high street and embellished with beer pump clips adorning its walls and ceilings. A few cozy chambers are tucked away down the corridor behind.”

  “This place for legends. Not for faint hatred. The last time I was there, the count of different kind of Ales served till date was 10K+. People have permanent beer mugs here. If I could, I would prefer go here for most of the time and would have a beer mug on my name too.”

  “An ickle pub with big beer selection. Less of the more modern beers and more of the traditional British styles, but they do have a variety including a few weird and wonderfuls. Great place to sit in the sun and people watch out front or sit in one of the atmospheric little nooks.”

  “Just great. I was looking for a traditional English pub in Reading and The Alehouse seemed like the best option. And so it is! People were so nice, everyone, from the staff to the clients. I went by my own, and at the second that I entered in the pub I met some of the frequent clients! Just perfect guys, they invited me to a couple pints and we were chatting the whole afternoon until I had to go. And also, you can go there to drink at any time, there will always be people! Good ales and good prices, with a perfect ambient and decoration. I wish I could return. If I come back to Reading, The Alehouse will be one of the first places to go back to.”
