Bar Iguana, Reading

Two venues – an evening bar upstairs, and a veggie restaurant downstairs [edit - veggie restaurant now shut] An extremely good range of bottled ales upstairs, for a venue of its size (essentially, a room with mis-matched furnishings). 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.
