The Bugle, Reading

A small traditional pub of the kind that is becoming rarer year on year as new pubs take the gastro or craft bar route.Its very basic inside and the bar you enter from the main street is the smaller of the two, you can walk through to the back bar via a couple of doors, there is also a side door,only two handpumps ,one in each bar, both dispensing Courage Best, not the most exciting of beers but the quality was good.There is a jukebox in the rear bar which seemed to be playing some random tunes itself, I saw no one putting money into it,there was also a small TV screen on the wall.A nice reminder of how most pubs used to be, but time moves on and given the lack of beer choice I am not likely to return in the near future.

Feels like a locals pub, expect some people to be blocking the bar area when ordering your drink. The beer itself was ok, and I went for a pint of Courage Best. The pub feels somewhat on the cramped side and would probably not go here regularly.
