I, like the young lady reviewer before me, also run the races that end at the Liederkranz. This is a German (beer-drinking) social club nestled in the woods above Reading, PA. Just a short distance from the Liederkranz is the (not so) famous (brick) Pagoda and up the hellish mountain that we run upon. The people are always friendly, the beer is silly-cheap, and always good imports on tap. I've heard the festivals they have are quite the going on. Perhaps I'll check it out sometime. Thank you Liederkranz for opening your doors to us, even when muddy, bloody and sweaty.

My daughter-in-law was excited to bring us here for the holiday boutique. She had never been but had heard wonderful things about it. Apparently, they host other events as well. The Holiday Boutique boasted local artisans & German food. We were NOT disappointed. There were a variety of local vendors selling their products. From jewelry to candles to ceramics to woodworking to glass blowing to knitting to clothing...you name it, it was here. I was able to purchase quite a few special gifts . If you're a supporter of small businesses, then you'll love it just like me. You will find so many talented artisans. In addition, there was food & drink to be had as well. On this chilly day, we opted for hot cider. If you get cold, you can warm yourself up at the many little fire pit stops. This was a super fun day! read more

Great traditional Oktoberfest in late September. Yeah, go figure. Numerous beer offerings, so look around first. German food is pretty good. Sound system is so so. Free off-site shuttle parking needs better directions and signage! Will go again. read more

Went to a special event and my nostalgic memories of the clubs I remember going to as a kid kicked in. My wife and I joined as members to help keep the place going. Traditional dancing and all the foods were so much fun and delicious. If I lived closer I'd probably be back weekly and take advantage of the happy hours! Love it here!! read more

The chefs here are so rude, when they would mess up on the order, they would get mad at the costumer and come outside and stomp around and get mad. The waitresses are jerks too, the young ladies were so mean, they would treat their food runners like trash and not tip them good, the food runners always had to clean up after them while they would be sitting around and when the food runners wanted to sit down, the waitresses would throw fits. The food runners were teenagers and young. The food was mid. read more

Nice social club. Food was good, service was perhaps a little slow even though it was not very busy. That didn't matter since we were not in a hurry. Thankfully this is not a hipster place. Just a nice, old skool place to have drinks and dinner. This place is not cozy or dark or intimate in any way. Mostly just a big room with tables and chairs like that at a banquet hall. Nothing wrong with that but if you're taking a date out for a romantic evening this likely isn't the place. All in all a great place for some hearty German food and beer. read more

I run a ton of races that end at the Liederkranz. This place is great for a post-run beer and the bar staff really hustles. Excellent German beers and very reasonable prices. Also, the club members are so very kind to us runners/non-members who are taking over their club for an afternoon. read more

I am from California and visited friends in Reading who brought me here. I loved this place! It's a social club that you have to be (or know) a member to enter. We went on a Friday night after Thanksgiving. The place was hoppin'! The bar was lively and friendly. It was so busy that we sat in the dining area at first. The food is amazing! I have the jaeger schnizel and spatzel which was so tasty. I loved evey bit of it. The servers are great. They have live German music played by Kermit. He is tireless and makes it so festive. Special Note: Reading has the 4th largest Octoberfest at this location. read more

Had the pleasure of dining here last Friday! I love my German food and this experience did not disappoint. This is a social club so unless you are a member or are the guest of a member you won't be enjoying the alcoholic beverages. This is not a problem for me since my doctors ruined drinking refreshingly wonderful delicious looking amber beverages for me years ago.! Anyway we started with two appetizers, soft pretzel (small) with yummy beer cheese, yeah shush, and smoked trout! Both were very good! The waiter was very nice and attentive and kept in touch , it was very busy, our food was a little slow coming out but well worth the wait! Carol and I both got the Sauerbraten, I had red cabbage and spaetzel and she got sauerkraut and potato pancakes. We had the most tender roast beef ever and the gravy was creamy and delicious. The sides were perfect and flavorful. This is my go to meal at any German restaurant, if they get this right I'll be back. I'll be back to enjoy the rest of the menu. The servings are very generous resulted in ample left overs. The only thing I was not a fan of is something that I experience at 90% of all authentic German restaurants is the music, it was a great live roaming German accordion player. While it was good it makes casual conversation difficult. This being said it fit the atmosphere and most diners singing along and rocking to the beat. Definitely a fun experience. You can have a great Octobefest experience anytime, just pay these folks a visit. The cost for this entertaining evening was very reasonable and felt like a great deal. Enjoy! read more

My wife and I are very meticulous and we spent hours, if not days, reading various reviews on…read moredifferent vendors for our wedding. We consider ourselves to be very organized and when looking for vendors for our wedding we wanted to ensure that whomever we decided to go with was also very organized and detailed. Neither of us have attended many weddings so we were a little lost in the clouds with what to expect and what to look for when deciding on our reception's entertainment. After reading numerous reviews on how wonderfully detailed and organized Chris was, we thought we might have found a winner. After first meeting with Chris, we felt very at ease and relaxed as if we were just hanging out with a friend. Chris knows his music. Not just one genre either. He's a well-versed encyclopedia of all aspects of music. Chris was very receptive to our requests of the style of music we wanted to hear at our ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception. While we both enjoy different types of music we were a little overwhelmed with which artists to go with and decided to trust Chris with the majority of the selections. We had a few "must play" songs which Chris made sure that we heard. Chris went above and beyond to ensure not only that we were happy but also to ensure that our guests were dancing and smiling the whole time. Our wedding had a few 90+ year olds and we were unsure if they would be able to get up and dance. However, Chris knew exactly what to play to bring them to the floor. Walkers and all, our grandparents were able to share the dance floor with us to create an unforgettable memory for our entire family. We also want to point out how punctual Chris is. We are very punctual people and we believe that if you're not early, you're late. Chris was always early. He always beat us to our meetings. We could go on and on for days about Chris' professionalism. I wanted to surprise my wife with a song that I wanted to play for her on acoustic guitar at the reception and Chris was not only happy to oblige, but was very excited to make it happen. We spoke on the phone over the weeks leading up to our big day. Chris walked me through the process of what equipment he was going to use and how he would introduce me to the reception. Chris was also accompanied by another DJ named Joe who was equally professional and kind. We met Joe the day of the reception and it felt like we knew him for many years. We were both completely at ease with our decision and had no worries about anything. We felt comfortable and relaxed and a big part of that was because he made sure everyone got to the dance floor, if even for just a few moments. Chris always greeted us with a warm smile and helped us create a timeline that coincided with our venue to make sure everything flowed properly. He wanted to save us from as much stress possible and requested the contact information of all of our vendors so he could speak directly with the venue about the schedule for the day-of timelines, the videographers about microphones, officiant about speeches and introductions, etc. We cannot express how grateful we were to not have to be the middleman and just provide Chris with names and phone numbers and wait for his "everyone's on the same page" email! Our venue expressed how easy and flawless it was working with Chris and that some other DJs cause them headaches. Chris seemed to make the day go easy and smoothly for everyone involved. We also went with a Photobooth through Futurescapes Entertainment and Chris was able to use our wedding template which was created specifically for our wedding. This ensured everything was cohesive throughout our entire wedding. If you're looking for a DJ who knows his craft, understands the business and is eager to please then Futurescapes Entertainment is hands down the best choice you can make. Chris, thank you so very much for making our special day even more special. Thank you for the memories we were able to make with our grandparents. Thank you for going above and beyond. You are the example by which all others should be judged.

I would definitely recommend Futurescapes for any event, both for the DJ and uplighting packages!

The veritable cherry on top of their cornucopia of fruits, vegetables, jarred foods, baked goodies, pretzels, popcorn, candies, and frozen foods is their Whoopie Pie Festival, which we attended today. The Festival runs on Feb. 26-28 & March 5-7 between 9am - 4pm. Essentially, you can create Your Own Whoopie Pie for $4 each, 4 or more at $3.50 each, and 12 or more $3 each. Here's how it works - make your customized selections of one of 12 cookies, one of 11 frostings, and one of 7 toppings, and Brecknock will build your pie. I went full Elvis mode and selected banana cookies, peanut butter frosting, and chocolate chip toppings around the circumference. We had a great time at Brecknock -making our Whoopie pies, playing a whoopie pie trivia game, and picking up a few odds and ends for us and friends. PRO TIP Hats off to Brecknock for their generosity and hospitality. They had free samples everywhere- whoopie pie wedges, pretzels, popcorn, and all sorts of goodies. It worked on us, because after sampling some honey mustard pretzels, we couldn't grab a bag fast enough.
