Looking for some laid-back late-night drink spots this Saturday! My partner and I have a rare evening off, as the kids are enjoying a sleepover. We’ll be in London for a gig and expect to be back in Reading around midnight. If we’re still in the mood for drinks after the show, I’d love any suggestions! Just to give you a heads up, by midnight the Oakford tends to get a bit too loud for my liking. I’ve only been to Sub89 for gigs since the lockdown, so if anyone knows what music will be playing there on Saturday, that would be helpful.
And of course, we always have the Turtle as a backup option.
*To be honest, we might be more inclined towards a cozy cocoa and an early night, but who knows?
That sounds like a fun night out! If you’re looking for somewhere a bit more relaxed than the Oakford, you might want to consider The Greyfriar—it’s usually a bit quieter and has a nice atmosphere for late-night drinks. Another option could be the Crown, which often has a laid-back vibe.
As for Sub89, it’s primarily a live music venue, but they sometimes have DJ nights or special events, so it might be worth checking their website or social media for the schedule. If the music is too loud, you might be ready for that cocoa and bed after all! Enjoy your rare night out!
