Reviews of The Blagrave Arms
S. R.An excellent vibe all days, especially Friday night's and the weekends. Bar staff are brilliant along with the choice of drinks available. Well worth a visit and a few bevvies!
J. P.We have been few times at this bar and always had an amazing time. It is great to have an alternative pub like this one in Reading.
J. O.Had a great evening, wonderful staff, great selection of beers, superb music and a fun time had by all. Keep it up!
K. G.Good friendly staff and great entertainment
S. B.Bingo was great fun with Wilma on Sunday night. Can't wait for next month. Lovely bar staff and felt very safe and comfortable with their covid measures in place
L. E.Had possibly the best night I've ever had. It's very difficult to find a place where as a non drinker, you can still have a cracking time with no issues. Went to the Blagrave Arms last night (Thursday) to celebrate my birthday with some karaoke and I've never experienced such amazing hospitality anywhere, the staff were all incredibly friendly, were happy to get involved on the karaoke too! Especially the lady called Sarah (If i remember right) who i think was the manager in at the time or landlady. She was constantly making sure and checking to see if I was having a good time and all the staff made us all feel very very welcome. The karaoke drink deals were very good and overall the prices were great, the atmosphere in there was second to none even on the hottest day of the year so far. All staff on that night were an absolute pleasure and full of smiles and laughs which you dont find often in bars and pubs, especially in Reading. If you want a sing song with a great atmosphere, I cannot reccomend Blagrave Arms enough!
T.Had a great time here. Will definitely be returning for more bingo! The food is superb. Highly recommend it.
H. C. (.Full, happy, wellcoming pub. Drinks reasonably priced, good entertainment. There are stairs to get in but only 3. We went on a Saturday night so it was really really packed but everyone was very polite at moving so I could through.
R. W.Full disclosure: My husband and I had a Groupon deal for this visit.
First up, the positives: The guy behind the bar was really lovely, the decor is pretty nice, and the pizza is AMAZING. Their food prices are really reasonable from what I saw, and the other dishes I spotted going out to other tables looked pretty great too.
Now (my personal) negatives: The beer selection on tap is pretty standard, I prefer to see more ales, craft beers and interesting/different drink options. It's also not overly clear that they serve food at all - there are no menus on the tables, for example - it just looks like a regular pub. Also the music was super basic pop/EDM which is really not my style, I assume they play other stuff on different nights.
I do need to reiterate as my finish though, that the pizza was REALLY GOOD - 9.5/10 for the pizza alone
G. C.Great pub with tasty food, good beers, and a warm welcome. Always worth popping in on Thursday and Sunday for an interesting, varied, karaoke. Friday and Saturday nights are good for a dance along with the DJ's.
I would recommend the food to anyone, especially the specials and with discounted premium gins on Tuesday and half price champagne on Wednesday, you cannot go wrong.
It no longer has a pool table and doesn't show sports, so if that's what you are looking for, then this isn't the bar for you.
L. Q.I would ignore the 6 month review, fantastic place with the greatest staff. As always alot of the same staff from wynford and Granby. Both closed down. You'd never meet such an understanding bunch of barman and needless to say helpful.
The nasty yelper must of had knickers in twist when visiting.
R. W.Decor plush and a nice atmosphere. Popular with Gay community. Karaoke night's are popular here. Good selection of Beers Ales and spirits . The toilets in the other hand were not so good .
D.Nice place to go to if you know someone, not a very large place, but a nice night out. They have karaoke on Thursday and Sunday evenings and also have other events on during the days. It had been packed everytime I have been there. This is a gay/gay friendly establishment, so maybe not for all.
P. C.To be fair not an honest review.
I was there for a meeting around 4pm on a week day so not a representative crowd.
Staff seemed friendly enough, but the pub was mostly empty apart from a few business types. It's close to the station so maybe they were waiting for train, or drowning sorrows from bad meeting or job interview
I'm sure it's livelier in the evenings.
I'll update the review if/when I go in there evening.
S. O. R.English bar. English style. Good food and great selections of Beers Wines shorts. Ales. Karaoke twice a week if your up for it. Not far from Reading Railway station. Taxis buses.
A. S.Friendly and good fun, safe place to get drunk and know you will be safe/looked after.
M. M.Great place for a fun night! Not too pricey and easy to get to from the station. Freindly bar staff and door staff. Good music and they do food. Close to Walkabout and Matchbox if you want to venture out after!!
B. W.Small pub with lots of people packed in one venue music is dated needs bringing up
D. B.Nice cocktail bar/pub. Good value and interesting interior. Has a nice enough food menu, staff are friendly, drink choice is very wide and good.
J. B.It's the only gay bar left in Reading. It's brilliant! The servers are friendly, the people that go there are lovely and the music is super cheesy. What's not to like?
S. N.Happy and accepting people who enjoy their lives. Great beer and always a good night out.
