Phantom Brewing Co.: what do users think?
fran a: Lovely on a summer evening to sit out front or a lazy rainy Saturday indoors in the bar area. Always interesting beers to try, board games, and occasional food truck! Great spot if you’ve done a walk west along the river and cut through at Rivermeade.
Rhi Thomas: Our favourite brewery! Helpful and super kind staff, well managed, clean brewery, with different beers on every visit - a staple whenever we’re in Reading🙂
James: Went with work and had fun
Magda Kordalewska: Great beer! Nice variety! A place with positive vibe😎
Alexander Houghton: Great brewery that serves a host of crushable pales with a varied range of other styles. Manages to source some really interesting beers from across the world. Usually plays host to great food trucks and during the summer the outdoor space is one of Reading's great sun-traps!
James Sheerin: Great venue, excellent beer and cheerful, helpful staff.
Andrew Long: First time visitor. There are two vast halls. One was playing music and where you could buy blonde beers whereas the other hall had sofas, sold dark beers and you could watch the rugby. Great selection of draught and canned beers. We found the music too loud and staff helped move table into rugby room! Great atmosphere and the toilets were very clean too! 04/09/22 - another visit. There was no bar service when we visited. You Scan a QR code, select your drinks and they bring them to you table. Staff very friendly as normal. 27/05/23 - back here again. Staff very friendly. Great beers. Plus they sell doughnuts.
Christopher Thomas: Outstanding place. Not only is the house and guest beer great, there is so much to do in this space. Games are free. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Plenty of space to sit and spread out and relax - outside or in. Absolutely loved our visit and can’t wait to return. A gem of a brewery. If you are reading this and contemplating on whether or not to visit, I emphatically and enthusiastically say yes, you should. Also, did I mention? Phantom is making some great beers! A+++
Nathan Holland: Staff very friendly especially James, he has great knowledge of what they serve and how it is produced. The size of the place is huge, two massive rooms, one quieter than the other, both having bars serving different beers, so the selection on tap is massive, also fridges full of their canned beers. A fantastic vibe about the place. If you're looking for a £2 pint of p#!@ stay at spoons! If you want proper craft beer, this is the place to be at.
Kim Oakley: If you don't come here, you are simply NOT COOL! Come here, drink all the yum, and be cool. 😏
Niel: Great place in reading near the centre and station. About 15 mins walk from both to this amazing independent brewery with an amazing selection of beer. The tap room is top notch too
SamanthaP: Really chilled place, with some free games to play. Lots of beer options, cider and soft drinks.
Jethro Holman: Beer absolutely great, can't praise highly enough. Space is massive with a top vibe. Head down for sure
Kevin Atherton: Great venue and quite busy. The flight of beers the highlight. Can’t wait to visit again
Martin Weller: Nice brewery tour, great insight and fantastic beer samples
Rick James: Great Cherry Bakewell Sour and really friendly staff on my first visit. Been a second time since on a Saturday and the atmosphere was great. Lovely comfy seating area by the bar and games including a large shuffleboard type game. Oh, and all the beers were fab again and staff really friendly and helpful.
Karl Stevenson: This is a fantastic family and dog friendly brewery, the staff are lovely and the pints on offer rotate often. The guest food trucks are a bonus and we are always on the look out for the events happening here. A hidden gem !
Drew Jones: Live DJs and couple of games to keep the kids entertainment, not to mention the beer. Really enjoyed it. Food looked good too but we didn't try.
Tim Ball: Great beer and pizza. Really fun atmosphere.
Garry Costin-Davis: Nice beer, fantastic staff. Pretty unusual place to go, in a good way. Though if you want a nice venue this ain't it, but you want ski ball shuffle puck and a lot, lot, of space, then this is it.Beers, in a brewery. Says it all.
Esther Carter: I ordered some of their Reading FC football kit beers and the customer service (especially Rachael) was great! They helped me so much with issues I was having with the delivery company and they made sure to get my order to me in time for Christmas - and my dad loved them! Thank you again!

Bett: Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5More
Michaela A: Great selection of beers with a decent beer garden. Probably in the top 3 of pubs in Reading centre for me.
Mike Wellsbury-Nye: Cracking little pub. Good beer, and lovely people. Don't think they do food so didn't rate it.Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Ian Miller: An interesting real ale pub with spaces inside and outside in which to drink ones beer 🍻
Matt Evans: Good choice of drinks, nice old fashioned pub with board games and a dart board.
David Lawton: First class beer and good garden.Interesting backroom.
Adrian Palmer: Good place for fans of quality beers. Both craft and real.
Dean Scowcroft: One of the last heritage pubs in Reading, and a CAMRA supporter with a small but varied line up on the pumps (the fabulous Sheppys cider is as near to commercial as you get, and all the better for it). Relaxed, familial vibe here with thankfully unmodernised floors, decor and Victorian ceiling posts. Located 5 mins walk south west of the centre on castle hill.... worth a visit to support this ever declining group of historical boozers. Recommended.
Chris Hall: Is there such a thing as the perfect pub? The Castle Tap is pretty close... A proper friendly old school community pub near the Bath Road, high ceilings & mismatched armchairs/sofas, dartboards and music. Great selection of beers and a laid back feel, with good bands and arts events some weeks.
Bernie Whiten: Real pub. Real people. Real nice.
Barnaby Brampton: Very good pub, friendly staff, good beer, nice and cosy with a good pub garden.
connor smith: Lovely pub nice friendly pub lovey priced pints honestly really nice and quiet will recommend to all dog owners
Timzee: Beer & bands 👍
Abi Macedo: Always love coming to this pub, really friendly staff and a great selection of drinks
Simon David Thomas: A proper pub: small, cozy, dog-friendly, with a good range of interesting beers. No food, aside from a selection of good cheeses, or music, so you can have a snack and a chat with your drinks.

The Grumpy Goat: what do users think?
Brian Wilson: I only found out about this place whilst in Tescos picking a can from the non alcohol section of the beers and spirits. Let me explain....a couple who were also stood around the non alcohol section told me that the Grumpy Goat along "Smelly Alley" in Reading offers great choice. We visited on Sunday afternoon and bought some samples and drank them in the upstairs bar.Will visit again very soon!!!
Lexie Newlands: A true Reading icon - great beer, wonderful cheese, lovely service.

stylianos taxidis: Amazing fromagerie on the downstairs with a fantastic selection of cheeses but also craft beer and select brilliant quality wine!! You can also get the best cheese toasties in Reading on the upstairs there is a bar area for a beer/wine/spirits drink which you could combine with your own made cheese platter! If visiting Reading this is definitely worth a visit!!
Natty: Blonde bar lady with tattoos is very kind and helpful, lovely beer & cheese too!
Kayleigh Fryer: Always an amazing experience coming here. Genuinely fun and caring bartenders and staff. If you want to know more about the beer or cheese you're interested in, all you have to do is ask!
Chris Ellison: Best place in Reading to pick up a few bottles of beer or cheese. Also now a taproot for a few evening drinks. They serve toasties in the day and some other food. I'd recommend going if you've not already.
Nigel Griffiths: What a cracking place this is...craft beer & cheese! Big selection of cans in fridges downstairs along with the cheese & the amazing cheese toasties (£8). Upstairs a little taproom with 8 taps covering pales ales, dipas, cider, stouts & lager with a very knowledgeable guy behind the taps happy to give samples.
Takesure Makotose: Nice place to be. Very friendly staff and good environment to chill out, love it.
KEN MCKINLAY: Small and simple but it does it so well. Exceptionally good cheese toasties, brilliant combination of flavours. Apparently they get some grumbles that they don't use massive wedges of bread in their sandwiches, but when the ingredients and blends are that good, you let the sandwich contents do the work. Friendly staff and good value too
Rob Norris: Best beer shop in Reading. Apparently does cheese too.
Melanie Auker: Can't beat The Grumpy Goat for amazing local beers and absolutely sublime cheese toasties! (Plus a well stocked cheese counter if you want some to take home). Friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful new upstairs bar and seating area... Go there, you won't regret it!
Jeff Salt: A little gem of a place , service and food excellent
Paul Lewis: Grumpy Goat is my happy place in Reading! Staff are lovely, knowledgeable and welcoming. Great range of cheese, beers and gins. Can not resist popping in every time I'm in town.

J C: This place rules! Great selection of cheeses and some good vegan options as well. It’s really cute and lgbtq friendly too.

Bennie Cheung: lovely little non-chained café
