It's Jacktember! 🥃

Every year during the month of September, the Jack Daniel’s Distillery celebrates the birthday of its founder. This lasts the entire month, rather than just one day, because no one knows what date Jack Daniel was actually born! 🤣

So we are joining them! Visit us this September, and raise a glass to Jack!

Join us all day for some epic Championship and Premier League action, and don't forget that we welcome The Moon Men to The Turks stage this evening! They're an anthemic pop punk band hailing from South Wales, on Saturday evening for an evening of covers and originals! 🎤🎸⚽

Ready for the weekend yet? Here's what we've got on 👇

Join us on tonight from 8pm for karaoke with Daniel Dimitri, where your vocal ability doesn't matter when you're already 4 pints deep! 🎙🍻

We've got football on all weekend and are joined by The Moon Men, an anthemic pop punk band hailing from South Wales, on Saturday evening for an evening of covers and originals! 🎸🎤

And don't forget that we offer free pool every Sunday, which is the best cure for the hangover you'll probably have from Saturday 👀🎱

Unfortunately due to staff sickness, we’re made the decision to not hold our quiz tonight. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but we will be back next week for our regularly scheduled shenanigans! ❤️

Harvey’s off on his jollies in Portugal this week, so we have big boss man Jamie is throwing his hat in the ring for ‘Worlds Best Quizmaster’ - Has he got what it takes, or will everyone be silently waiting for Harvey’s return? 👀🍻

Join us every Wednesday for what I’d say is arguably the funniest pub quiz Reading has to offer 🧠👑

*Max 6 per team, £2pp entry

Our pub is more than just a place for a drink. It's where friends reconnect, families celebrate, and neighbours come together.

We're proud to be at the heart of our community but rising taxes are putting pubs like ours under increasing pressure. That's why we're supporting Long Live the Local, a campaign calling for tax reforms to help protect pubs and the communities they serve.

It only takes 2 minutes to make a difference:

Sign the campaign: https://nuvi.me/yviosh

Email your local MP: https://nuvi.me/ovdvd7

Every signature helps support local pubs.

Thank you.
