About The Lounge
30 Standing / Reception
20 Seated
Our Lounge sits beneath those original Victorian brick arches that Brunel's builders crafted over 150 years ago, where the warm glow from table lamps plays across the exposed brickwork. We've furnished this corner of the Firefly Cellar Bar with deep armchairs in rich teal and warm mustard, creating pockets of conversation throughout the space that feel both intimate and connected. The rustic wooden bar counter anchors one end of the room, backed by a vintage map that catches the eye while our bartenders pour from our carefully chosen selection. We can arrange pre-ordered drinks for your group, which means more time enjoying your gathering and less time waiting at the bar. The eclectic artwork dotting the walls adds unexpected moments of interest between those magnificent brick arches overhead. For seated dinners, we comfortably accommodate 20 guests around tables lit by those distinctive lamps, or we can open up the space for reception-style events hosting up to 30 people. The flexible layout works brilliantly whether you're planning a milestone birthday dinner, bringing together colleagues for an evening celebration, or hosting drinks and canapés for a special occasion. Being right next to Reading railway station makes getting here remarkably straightforward for your guests, whoever they're traveling from. The combination of our Victorian architecture and contemporary touches, from the plush seating to the modern bar setup, creates an atmosphere that feels special without being stuffy. We've found The Lounge works particularly well for groups who want their own defined space within the broader energy of the Firefly Cellar Bar, giving you privacy while still feeling part of something larger.
