Best Pubs around Madejski Stadium?

Madejski Stadium is a venue in Reading

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!
