| I'm shocked Lord Closet-case Jason, the poster below doesn't seem to realise the venue has changed, It is a gay bar now. Gay bars have gay men and lesbians in them. GET USED TO IT! Got a problem with gay people that's your problem to deal with no need to fling your dung our way. Just a point of reference I'm pretty sure Muslim won't be denied access to the pub either. Regarding the venue everyone including the customers and the staff are all very friendly and there's a wide selection of pies available which are amazing! Most of my straight mates would rather get a pint in this cheer pub than be crushed in a corner in one of the near by straight places. beerinthenighttime - 11 Feb 2012 15:06 |
| This used to be Reading's greatest bar for music of the heavy variety. Now it is a haunt for homosexuals. From head-bangers to shirt-lifters is perhaps too jarring a contrast one would wager. Especially for the poor punter who mistakenly expects the metalness only to be confronted by bandits at 6 o'clock! So to sum up; it is goodbye Slipknot hello Pet Shop Boys. It is almost enough to make one turn Muslim although considering how multi-cultural the area is no doubt Islamic leaflet-distributors will shortly be touting outside the venue!

| Not a review as such but just to let you know we are now newly opened as Readings newest Gay pub. New tennants, new decor, new atmosphere. All are welcome so pop in for a beer and a bite to eat. An update to the info on this site will follow soon. moosey13 - 13 Jan 2012 13:02 |
| They have just painted the outside to a cream colour - what a difference! mcroyal - 6 May 2011 00:42 |
| The Rising Sun has risen yet again and is now open once more with a new licensee and hopefully a better future ahead. It's a Brakspears pub which was offereing their Bitter and Oxford Gold as well as Ringwood Best Bitter (all reasonably priced). There is an leaning towards live music at weekends but during the week it is a straightforward pub which is near the station and offer a decent pint. Perhaps a bit spartan inside but a few posters and photos could solve that. Good to see it open again when so many pubs are shutting up shop. mcroyal - 29 Mar 2011 14:54 |
