Reviews of The Purple Turtle
"Good place, good live music, a bit small so when is busy, it's really busy... Appreciated so much the external area to have a rest and fresh air"
"If you like your rock music and want to escape the 'cocktail beats', then this is the place for you. My wife and I loved it, it was like having a drink in Lux and Ivy's (The Cramps) living room. The screens showing wintry northern lights were the ice-ing on the rock'n'roll cake. Fabuloso!"
"The Purple Turtle on Gun Street in Reading is a well know late night drinking spot in the area. Been there for years it’s a go to for late night drinking and partying. It used to be where you go to when the pubs close but like most other places since the pandemic the license is now only to 2am (previously I am sure it was a 5am license). There is live music here from time to time and two main dance floors. A trip there recently led to a choice between ‘Guns n Roses’ on the ground floor pop dance floor. Or. Freestylers and drum n bass in the basement. Basement won hands down. It gets very busy here and is a favourite for Reading students. Going to the Turtle is a rite of passage so you might as well go."
"Cheap prices on beer / cocktails. Very friendly relaxed atmosphere. Spent many drunk nights in here years ago. Took daughter the other night for her 1st legal drink and she felt very comfortable and loved the atmosphere. One of a very few places in town that feels safe , nobody ever wants to cause bother, they're all there for a good enjoyable evening. Unique pub and my favorite in town."
"Such a cool layout and design. Staff were friendly and accommodating and make great cocktails! Would reccomend for a good night out. Only possible problem is there is a lot of stairs and narrow corridors to access anywhere aside from the bar, so could see this being a problem for wheelchair users or anyone with mobility issues."
