We were a three-screen cinema, bar, coffee shop, live performance space and community hub situated at the heart of Reading’s town centre. Our aim is to offer a fantastic, welcoming venue and create a setting where everyone can relax, work, meet and create – all under one roof. 

We like to do things differently at Oakford Social Club. Music is everything to us, making us the go-to pub in Reading for live music, DJs, and disco nights. Stop by with a few friends and discover the best bands from across the country playing on our neon-lit stage and the most entertaining, off-centre DJs imaginable. 

Welcome to our Flagship Bar in central Reading, just a 2 minute walk from the train station. As well as 28+ lines of beautiful brewery fresh beer, from both Siren and guests we have fully stocked fridges for your takeaway cans - did someone say train beers!? 

We’re a table-serviced venue serving a delicious range of drinks & food, with most of our items lovingly sourced from local suppliers. 

Experience our vibrant café atmosphere by day, serving specialty coffees, freshly baked cakes, and artisanal treats. As the sun sets over the Thames, we transform into Caversham's most stylish cocktail and wine bar, where expertly crafted cocktails pair perfectly with our signature cakes and desserts. We are an all inclusive bar creating a safe space for all.  

The Rising Sun creates a space where creativity flourishes and people come together to make things happen. Our programme includes a varied line up of high quality events and activities, avant garde music from some of the world’s top improvisers, ground breaking, participatory projects and the best band nights in town to name a few, all managed by volunteers without the benefit of core funding or full time staff.
