Bars

The boutique bar, it’s a thing

Sit, sip (or guzzle), Wokingham's new boutique bar Sit & Sip, with its industrial details and funky neon is our top spot for an impeccably-made G&T and some light grazing.
A cocktail, garçon

We love the cosy vibes of a country pub, but sometimes we need heels, sequins and the pizzazz of a bar where only a Porn Star martini will do.
The perfect Espresso Martini

Every hour is cocktail hour from now until 2020 and The Hind's Head is calling the shots with an Espresso Martini – just the way Heston likes it.
A Berkshire gin crawl

Have paracetamol on standby and sample local gins within staggering distance – we may even sway over the borders *hic*. Ready for your first double?
Bored of Pinot?

Love a cheeky vino but feel you're stuck in a rut? I hear you, sister. Jump off the Pinot, Sauvignon, Merlot bandwagon and pop that cork (or twist the cap) and uplevel wine o'clock.
That’ll Roux nicely

It may have the name Roux over the door (and on the floor) but Roux at Skindles is not hunting for Michelin stars. This is gallic, comfort food at its best.
The ultimate girls’ night out

Sometimes we want something with a bit more pizzazz than a country pub, right? Make mine a Chanel martini and keep 'em coming at Ascot Fifty5.
Skip brekkie for a hipster brunch

Fancy a lie in? Hit that snooze button, body swerve the granola and dive into avo and eggs at Reading's super-stylish Malmaison.
Cocktails o’clock

The best bars across the Muddy counties in which to whet your whistle with your favourite tipple. Ibuprofen at the ready? Then we'll begin!
31 Below, Marylebone

You can keep Oxford, Bond and Kensington - it's Marylebone High Street and its new watering hole, 31 Below, all the way for me!
