Spill

You'll find Spill nestled in St Martins Precinct, that surprisingly pleasant pocket of Reading town centre near Church Street where things feel a bit more intentional than the usual high street sprawl. It's the kind of place that takes its drinks seriously without being pretentious about it—the sort of bar where you can chat to the person next to you at the counter and actually hear them. The crowd skews young professional and regular, mixing students with people who've worked in town for years. It's got proper staying power in Reading's bar scene, which tells you something about how well they've nailed their formula.
