About Basement Bar
20 Banquet
60 Standing / Reception
Pour yourself into our Basement Bar and discover Reading's best-kept party secret. This underground haven transforms Gun Street celebrations into something extraordinary, with red leather booths that have witnessed countless toasts and a bar that glows under neon lights spelling out exactly what we're about: going "All Night Long." We've designed this space for groups who want their own private playground. The room pulses with energy, from the warm amber lighting bouncing off textured walls to the sleek bar where our mixologists craft those famous cocktails you've been hearing about. Those plush red booths? They're where hen parties plot their next round while birthday groups share stories between sips. When the music kicks in through our PA system, the whole space comes alive, with room for 60 of your friends to dance or 20 to settle in for seated celebrations. Your own DJ can command the decks here, reading the room and keeping your party flowing exactly how you want it. We've watched corporate teams let loose after successful cocktail masterclasses, seen birthday groups work through our menu of over 100 drinks, and hosted Christmas parties that still get mentioned months later. The air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable even when the dance floor heats up, and being just minutes from Reading Station means your guests can easily find us at 1-2 Gun Street. Our basement setup gives you privacy without isolation, your own bartender without missing the atmosphere that makes our venue special. From cocktail masterclasses where your group learns to shake and muddle like professionals to full-blown parties that test our late license, this space adapts to whatever celebration you're planning. The intimate scale means every guest feels part of the action, whether they're learning to layer a B-52 or simply raising a glass to good times.
