Milk Reading

Milk, an independent rum and cocktail bar “at the heart of Reading”, has been been recognised nationally for outstanding customer service.

It has been “an iconic and truly independent staple in Reading for more than a decade” and has been committed to the safeguarding of the community implementing high security and service standards as well as its strong contribution to Pub Watch initiative.

It runs community events such as tastings, rum shows, comedy events and DJ nights – including Reading’s longest running DJ night with Jim B Donovan.
