The Butler, Reading

Being an old bloke I felt at home with the punters, who seem to be hooked on London Pride, but the further choice of 5 small brewers wares was most welcome. The décor is a work in progress but they might like to tone down the white brightness. Not the Nags but it should have a future - I did spot some customers who frequented both on my short visit to Reading. A jam session started in one corner set up with speakers and mixing desk, mind you it didn't look like the audience was there to appreciate it but a ripple of applause greeted the singers. More live music is planned, a blackboard lists what's coming.

Reasonable Fullers Pub, seems like a locals type of place but a friendly enough atmosphere and better than the Nag's over the road. Worth a trip.
