The University's old Senior Common Room is now open to the general public. Three ales are usually available (mainly LocAle) and an array of styles feature. It is a popular venue for the mature University community and can get very busy between 5-7 in the evening. Non-accredited vehicles are allowed on campus after 5pm (Mon-Fri) and all day Sat-Sun - however a regular bus service drops off inside the campus. Open from noon everyday. The bar is cashless.

+++Please note! Opening times can vary through the year, consult their website (link shown) before making a special journey. Note that they will often mirror the University's closure days around the main holidays. Bank Holidays generally closed.+++

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