“Foods great. Service is always personable. Happy hours can’t be beat. Prices in general all around can’t be beat. Smoking which is a plus. Pool table, skill machines, and darts. Never a dull moment. Bar everyone should experience at least once.“

“Kitchen is open late. Tacos are delicious. 🤤“

“Just moved into the area and Mari’s is going to be the place to go for me. I love trying different beers more than getting a lot of one particular beer. Mari’sis the only beer store I’ve seen where virtually everything can be found in a single. Most places take the more expensive craft beers and keep them in 4/6 packs but at Mari’s you can either get that or buy a single can or bottle. It’s genius really. I’m way more likely to buy many singles than spend $20 on a craft four pack I may not like and the selection is pretty great as well. Awesome store.“

“The best. White Boy John“

“Used to go there in the 1990s...remember Rick and the bartender Carmen......good place to relax“

“Excelente ambiente y su propietario Ronny una persona super dinámica y amena!!!!“

“they make a great long island iced tea“

“Play some pool. Was only a dollar per game which is very nice. To drink they have big fridges with what look like every kind of beer, mixed canned drinks including a zero alcohol option which is awesome. Of couse hard liquor aswell. Staff and security were very nice and helpful. Didn't try the food, but what I saw looked good. Fun environment with multiple TVs with different sports on and pretty chill which was nice for me as too loud of spaces can affect my anxiety. Now there's another room in the back which was definitely louder, but it didn't impact my time. The only real downsides for me was the dollar per song jukebox and the men's room wasn't the best. Usable, but not great. Definitely will check it out again.“

“Stopped in last night. Hadn't been here in many years. Loved the ambiance of a neighborhood bar, which are becoming fewer and fewer. Sarah was a great bartender. Enjoyable talking with her and she makes an excellent drink. Looking forward to returning soon.“

“we had dinner Thursday night, the special seafood menu was great! The food was excellent and we had a wonderful waitress! Can't wait to return!“

“Hubby &’ I had such a long day at work. Both doubles at the job. We were on the search for some fire wings &’ Van Reed Inn popped up. Hubby ordered the Siracha wings &’ I ordered the Crack BBQ.

Firstly? THE WINGS?? FIRE they did NOT disappoint!! When they say CRACKED ON? They mean it. It’s something about them. The tang, the spice, a the savory with a faint kick of sweet? Phenomenal I must say.

Secondly, the service? Immaculate. As a server herself, I felt taken care of. A MINOR error was made with one of the drinks &’ Key came over to table 4 &’ made sure it was corrected. They handled the entire place with grace &’ efficiency. Kudos! Truly, your service was amazing.

All in all, loved everything about the place. We’ve already agreed that anytime we want wings, it’ll be from Van Reed Inn!“

“We were in Legends Live for a private event. The room is big, clean, and nicely decorated. The staff was very attentive and always coming around to the tables asking if we needed anything. The food was very good and the presentation was beautiful.“

“Highly recommend the Cowboy Burger- generous is an understatement. When you tell this establishment “ well done” in regards to your burger, they definitely know what you mean- without a chart. I will definitely be returning- but next time I’m drinking“

“I live in Reading PA, I love the Pike and I’m proud how the owner created a phenomenal restaurant in Reading. I pray this new owner keeps up with what Mike Palano had created.. I am so sorry to say that the soup I received today, not one piece of ham not one bean it was chicken broth, and carrots. 🤦‍♀ it was supposed to be ham and bean soup.. Wings and vegetarian white pizza was awesome. Received it an hour and 15 minutes after I ordered it.. New owner don’t destroy Mikes Legacy. Mike, maybe you need to buy it back…smh 🤦‍♀ The Servicing staff is beautiful .“

“45 miles, 75 minutes each way. There's a reason I'll buy a ticket here for a gig I'd want to see. Big space, professional staff, very acquainted with how heavy music functions in the live setting, ample parking, chicken parm was delicious.“
