The servers were great. The meal was great too and reasonably priced. The dessert was delicious
It has a nice atmosphere and a substantial selection of beers.
Because I was alone I ate on the bar side.
There are other people here but I left them out of the picture šŸ–¼ļø

While in Reading for a concert we stopped in for dinner. This is an old style pub with an Irish flair. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Food was very good. We enjoyed the crab cakes and the fish and chips. The prices were quite reasonable considering the food we had. Definitely worth checking out.

Very small location and requires reservations on a Saturday. We didn’t get a chance to visit since we had no reservations

What a great little pub. I had the crab cakes and fries, delicious! We shared the scotch eggs, so good. I'll definitely go again.

I was looking for a place to lunch in Reading. This looked like a candidate. The online menu is in black, red and white and is very difficult to read. Since I couldn't compare their menu with some other places I went elsewhere.

Hopefully the owners will see this and take a look. The color scheme may be artsy but it just cost them at least one group of customers.

Authentic Irish pub serving up delicious food, endless Guinness and loads of nostalgia and happy memories. A true gem in the heart of downtown Reading, ā€œthe Oā€ was our place during my college days. Delighted to see that the friendly atmosphere, fresh seafood, excellent service, and good vibes are exactly as remembered—and Pee Wee is still keeping an eye on the bar! Best place to be any day, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. You can’t go wrong with a creamy Guinness, juicy oysters, and one of my longtime favorites, stemmed middleneck clams. It’s all fabulous. Cheers!

Just moved up to PA from Florida about 8 months ago and have been seriously craving some raw oysters. We drove 40 minutes to enjoy some oysters and beer.
The restaurant is gorgeous, the atmosphere was really cool and felt like you were walking straight into an Irish pub in Ireland.
The beer we got was flat and not very cold. Our oysters were the most disappointing part. I don't think they spent any time cleaning them. They were filled with grit and shells to the point we couldn't even stomach finishing them.
Was really looking forward to coming here and not sure if it's from growing up on the coast with better seafood availability but definitely not a place I'd be coming back to for oysters.
