I ordered a dozen wings. I went with half mild and half sweet chili and an order of fries with cheese sauce on the side. I also ordered a Shirley Temple for my beverage. The wings were so good. Wish I would have gotten all of them mild because I forgot how good their mild sauce is. The fries were so so. The restaurant was clean and well lit and service was on point. They were able to do split checks for our party and 20% gratuity was automatically added to each check. Nice local spot for some good wings.

I remember playing at the silo and going to shows there. I haven't been to a show in Reading since the Silo days. I was pleasantly surprised that this place has been open for sometime. It's pretty clean and looks well maintained. Good sound if you aren't smack dab in the middle. Friendly staff from parking attendants to bar tenders! parking is only $10. Seemed like a good bit of parking too. My friend was kicked out a few mi the ago for doing backflips at GWAR but he didn't experience anything like that this time.

The venue must have somewhat recently been updated as my boyfriend said the layout was different then when he was last there. We went for a metal show and the doors opened promptly. The staff was nice, they did have someone checking bags, keys, pockets and doing a pat down at the door. Once inside our tickets got scanned and ids checked if we wanted to drink. We were given a wrist band for that. The bar was in the back and they did have a room off to the side that appeared to be like a snack bar. They had a smoking section out back since there was no re-entry. The sound and lights were great. Overall it was a good show and a nice venue. I'd go again. It was in the middle of Reading but not a super congested area, mostly residential.

That description…read moremay very well be an understatement, but it was definitely an interesting time for both myself and my three girlfriends. While the venue may not have been the greatest to me, I am sure others will love it! We went to the lounge after attending a old school hip hop concert a the Santander Arena. We did a random google search and found this spot which serve food, drinks and hookah, so it was just what we were looking for. The venue is not too big, but it was clean. There is seating at the bar and also both tall pub tables and shorter tables with chairs. We opted to sit at one of the tables with chairs and were happy to find out positioned "out of the way" for the action. There was a live band playing Dominican music and they were performing their hearts out! Not my preference, but it was good live music nonetheless. As the night went on the DJ switched to hip-hop and other popular music genres. The staff was nice, but my issue is most of the staff did not speak English, so it was hard for us to order drinks and foods. Our group of four ordered a few rounds of shots, asking for three vodkas and one tequila each time and the order was incorrect every time. We actually resorted to typing in a translator app on our phones to speak to the staff. The guy providing the hookah spoke English but failed to tell us that after paying $30 for the initial hookah, it costs another $20 bucks to have the hookah relit. Of course I didn't find that out until after he had completed the action and was looking for more money. Makes we wonder if he took advantage of the situation, but I won't come to a conclusion on that. The food was typical bar food, nothing special. The shots were likely mid-shelf quality, we also shared a bucket of Coronas amongst us four. Our bill was very affordable at the end of the night, so I am glad we weren't racked over the coals. All and all, I had a fairly decent time at this lounge.

The wings are not good. We told the waitress we didn't like the wings. The police took them off and then they told us to we had to pay for them even though they were not good. I said well I'm not gonna pay for them. We tried one and we could tell how bad they were. she charged me four dollars for a bottle of water when we didn't even ask for water. You know why this place was empty is because they have no hospitality. The music is so loud you came in sync and the food is terrible and when you tell them that they try to escort you out. like whaaaat ! do not waste your time here
