Reviews
"For me, the best pub in Reading for live music. Good beer selection and super friendly landlord. The bands are really not your average - there are other pubs in Reading that do really good music evenings, but these guys have the best musicians I’ve heard outside of a paid gig."
"Visited the Retreat for the first time in years at the weekend, it has changed massively and definitely for the better. It still has a great range of beers, but has been refurbished. Brian the landlord was very welcoming, I would recommend this pub to anyone."
"Great little traditional pub, a hidden gem. Real ale and live music. Enjoyed a great gig by local band, Fusion6"
"Really love friendly staff and owners. Very helpful when deciding which gin to choose! Really nice decor throughout and the toilets are spotless and very recently renovated. Surprisingly spacious inside, the front bar is small and intimate but the rear bar seating area is much bigger with plenty of seating for a social gathering. The pub attracts all ages and quite often has very respectful (quiet) students as well as lots of locals outside and in. The pub often has live music playing too. Would highly recommend a visit for this quirky mid terraced local pub."
"We hadn't visited The Retreat for a while so we were very pleased to see the recent huge improvements. This has always been one of the friendliest pubs in the South but it's now also really smart and inviting. We visited on a quiet weekday evening and we were greeted like old friends by people we'd never met before. A exceptional pub!"
