Iguana Bar, Readingback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Not a pleasant experience, drunk/drugged up clientele, dark, and dingy. I won't be back.

Since it re-opened, it's lost all its charm.
I almost went there the other day. I got halfway up the stairs and turned back because of the phenomenally loud rap coming from there. Some of my group still went up but didn't stay - far too loud and it seems that most other people thought so too - there was apparently hardly anyone there. Why don't they realise that the loud rap was driving people away?

Bar Iguana is now re- OPENED (since about october 2008)
although the resteraunt below is now a shop.

Now shut, along with the veggie resteraunt underneath. A shame.

If you are looking for something different then this is the place I'd choose. I always drink Cocktails and Coronas in here and find the regulars are always amenable for a conversation.

Two venues � an evening bar upstairs, and a veggie restaurant downstairs.
An extremely good range of bottled ales upstairs, for a venue of its size. You'll have to contend with hippy trance-dub and earnest looking middle-class kids getting in a mince about 'right-on' issues, but it's worth seeking out once in a while.
Downstairs cafe serves a decent range of slightly-expensive veggie food during the day, though they need to get some decent extractor fans in - the smoke from the kitchen gets everywhere, I smelt like fry-up when I left on Saturday.
Won�t suit a lot of people but I think it�s a fair bet for something different in town. Fair play to them.

Hmmm bit of a disapointment since the last visit. Menu has changed to try for a more "up market" approach, with a price tag to match. However, the food wasn't great, nor was the attitude of the staff who weren't shy in pointing out that they were going to close. Serves a range of organic beers and other bottled beers, but not one to recommend any more.
