Reviews for The Purple Turtle

This place becomes absolutely packed on a friday/saturday night and is probably one of the best places in reaeding to go out, with some of the best music played in reading.
However, unfortunately this is not saying much, it still doesn't compare to a lot of the good pubs/clubs in london for example. However, if you are drunk this place can be a good laugh and the outdoor area is a really good place to mingle. Just make sure you go to the toilet before you go in, as the queues are horrendos. If you get thrown out of the back gates (good place to take a sly piss without queuing!), simply queue up again round the front to get back in.
