Reviews for The Retreat
A proper little gem at the heart of the community. One night you'll pull up a stool and end up chatting with the whole room, and another you'll be drawn in by the blues, folk or jazz in the back room. Worth checking their noticeboard for what's on.
For me, the best pub in Reading for live music. Good beer selection and super friendly landlord. The bands are really not your average - there are other pubs in Reading that do really good music evenings, but these guys have the best musicians I’ve heard outside of a paid gig.

Terrific back street 2 room locals pub with attentive staff and a nice range of independent ales.A bit out of the way from the centre but if you're in the area you'll find it very cosy and welcoming. Recommended.
