Pub Crawl of town centre pubs with good beer gardens

Central Reading Beer Garden Crawl

If you’re looking for a good place to sit and drink outside in central Reading, this will take you on a tour of the best

This is not an inclusive list of all places with outside seating. I’ve excluded anywhere which simply has a few picnic tables on a main road. Sorry The Lyndhurst and The Greyfriars. Also, you should be able to see some greenery in my opinion. Sorry Phantom!

Start at The Nags Head, which has covered and uncovered tables
7 minutes walk to Blue Collar Corner, voted the best beer garden in Reading
1 minute walk to the Bouundary. Head out the back for some quiet tables
1 minute walk to the Allied Arms for a pleasant beer garden
1 minute walk to the Purple Turtle. Head out the back for their multi-level tiki-themed outside area
4 minutes walk to Market House, where you’ll find a rooftop terrace. The terrace isn’t always open, so ask before ordering
3 minutes walk to Veeno, which is more of a wine bar, but it does sell some mainstream beer, and the view over Forbury Gardens is great
3 minutes walk to the Oakford Social Club (a regular pub, despite the name). Head out the back for a garden area
2 minutes walk to the Three Guinneas, where you can sit outside and watch the world go by
