Reading Roars!

I went to central Reading bar Pavlov’s Dog the other evening - and what a surprise I got!

Pavlov’s used to be one of my favourite drinking spots in Reading. I moved on because I felt that I was too old for it. I popped in the other evening for a quick drink and was stunned to see how much had changed.

A revamp has ditched the bright and colourful interior in favour of a more subtle design. I could no longer find the foosball table. The lighting was more creative (there were beer glasses clumped together to form one light decoration). On the whole, Pavlov’s no longer looks like a hang-out for first year university students, in my opinion, but has instead taken on a look similar to the Oakford Social Club by Reading Station. Like Oakford, Pavlov’s now also sells fruit beer Fruli.

Pavlov’s has grown up.
