Best Pubs around Madejski Stadium?

As a home fan, the world (well, the town of Reading) is your oyster – pick any bar, though many bouncers will ask for ID identifying you as a local before letting you inside. If you’re a Reading fan but not from the area, maybe take a shirt or flash your ticket as evidence.

There isn’t an abundance of choice near to the stadium unfortunately, so you’re looking at about 15 minutes’ walk as an away fan. There’s a Holiday Inn nearby, though we all know what hotel prices are like… About 25 minutes’ walk from the Madejski is Three Mile Cross, which has a few good pubs for the away crowd.

For away fans, whilst there isn’t an abundance of friendly pubs and bars – Reading FC have recommended some that away fans can go and enjoy before any game, and enjoy a great atmosphere!

When you exit the railway station, just walk a minute or two and you will find yourself at the Three Guineas Pub! Good pub, with good beers and atmosphere.

If you are looking for something a little closer to the ground – on Basingstoke Road you will find a Holiday Inn whose bar is away friendly – though the atmosphere might not be something that you would enjoy (its a hotel after all). But there is also the ‘World Turned Upside Down’ which is your more spit and sawdust pub!
