Named after Butler's Wine Merchants, who operated from these premises many years ago, this is very much a local pub in the heart of town. Taken over by a consortium after a long period of Fuller's stewardship, there has been an ongoing process of upgrading both inside and out. Ales are from regional and local breweries, including some unusual choices for the area. At weekends, live music is a weekly feature and draws large crowds. Caribbean food served.

Information for this venue is provided by the Reading & Mid-Berks Branch of CAMRA
