The best of the old pubs and other Bracknell, United Kingdom Nightlife Tips

Nightlife Spot: The Old Manor

This pub is always very busy no matter what evening you go. Generally populated by young people on Friday and Saturday nights but always a pleasure to visit. They have different deals on drinks all the time, which should be enough to keep anyone happy. If you had to visit just one pub in the whole of Bracknell, then I recommend this one.

Nightlife Spot: Bar Original

The Bar Original is the bar for the Hollywood Bowl, although not a very big place it does have a pool table and a lot of fruit machines. Not much of a real pub atmosphere I'm afraid as it is too closely connected to the Hollywood Bowl.

Nightlife Spot: South Hill Park, Terrace Bar

This always has been a busy little bar. They have a lovely area for sitting outside enjoying the view, where during the summer they have live music out on the field directly opposite the bar. It has been recently renovated so expect it to be quite busy in the evenings.

Nightlife Spot: The Red Lion

The Red Lion is a very old pub, the date of when it was built it still unknown. When you enter the pub do take care to mind your head, if you are tall like me, because as is the case with most old buildings you will find that there are low beams you might need to duck under. It is a quaint little pub situated close to the town centre and the market takes place just behind it.

Pool tables are available to play on but you need to give them a £10 deposit, which you will get back when you have finished playing.

Nightlife Spot: UCI Cinema

All your top Hollywood movies are shown here, plus you can buy popcorn, sweets, drinks, hotdogs or nachos to take in with you will you watch your choice of movie. It has 10 screens in total. It is getting a bit old now so it isn't quite up to the standards of other local towns so it would be better to go that little further out where you can find better cinemas.

Nightlife Spot: The Bull

It is one of the oldest buildings in Bracknell and looks good from the outside. It sells all your regular alcoholic drinks and snacks. Mostly filled with regulars that aren't too friendly to anyone else, so be careful. Being an old building you need to mind that you don't hit your head on the low beams.

Nightlife Spot: The Goose

Always a handy pub to stop off in before heading to Reading or London on train. You can get tickets for the nightclub called Utopia in Reading from here and they provide a coach to get you there, this takes place fridays and saturdays. The atmosphere in this pub has altered since it was changed from The Fruit & Firkin to The Goose but it is still a good spirited fun pub to be in. Mostly locals here again, but they are much more pleasent and friendly than elsewhere.
