Yates`s in Reading

Went here on a Saturday night with a few friends, place was quiet. The music on the other hand, was far from. Couldn't hear a single word my friends were saying. The staff were the most miserable things in the whole world. Especially the bouncers. Might as well of hired 3 grim reapers. Had little to no cocktails available. The one I managed to get was nice. Cherry cola something. Will not be rushing back.

The cocktails are absolutely atrocious at this place. So expensive and they taste awful. I always watch the bar staff make them and they just don't have a clue how to do it properly.

Sadly our drinks didn't come and had to go up to the bar too ask. 25 mins for very chewy, hard food. Also overcharged me as didn't have the 20cl prosecco so paid for only 1 glass when could've got 2 out of a small bottle. Just generally not a good service! Waste of money. Good atmosphere until football overpowered everything

Visited today, bar staff were friendly and quick when it came to service. Can't comment on the food as I didn't order any but everything else means I'd visit again.

Lovely staff. Nice sized pub with loads of booze on offer. Great for sports too 👍

Popped in for a spot of lunch with a friend. We were greeted with a very polite and bubbly barman whose name was Christian. He was very accommodating, and made our experience in Yates an enjoyable and relaxed one.Had the 5 dish sharer / starter. Food was great, but temperature could be hotter, however, we ate it.😁😁

Can’t beat the prices and choice. Decent garden with heat lamps for the winter nights. Last week I observed the bar manager doing a really good job in controlling a large group of drunk students - he handled it very well and made sure it didn’t impact on the better behaved students and the more mature customers.

Tasty char Sui wings - can’t fault the beer or the prices, you know what your in for with a Yates - classic - great value food and drinks

Had a great night at Yates! Kea who served us was amazing, she was so welcoming and even helped us with our drinks choices. The building itself is really impressive! A nice hidden garden out the back which I did not expect. Must be great for sports with TV everywhere as well. The food was good and really well priced! Will definitely be returning.

A lovely relaxing pub and bar type of restaurant. I went there with some friends for a Christmas dinner and a catch up for the year. Loved the atmosphere, music and service. The christmas food was lovely also. Thank you. I enjoyed my first visit and look forward to another future visit.
