Thirsty Bear Pizzeria & Bar

Serving up New York-style pizza, cool interiors and regular sports fixtures, Thirsty Bear Pizzeria & Bar has got you covered for eating and drinking in Reading. 

As soon as you enter the King's Road restaurant you'll be greeted by bare brick walls covered in quirky artwork, fashionable lights giving off a warm glow and dark furnishings. It's moody, distressed and stylish as hell. If that wasn't enough, the spot also touts a suntrap of a rooftop terrace, perfect for those summer months.

Hungry? With an award-winning kitchen team at the helm, you're in for a treat with this one. Doughy bites come in the form of slices, 16-inch pizzas or mega 20-inch beasts. On the menu, you'll find a number of cheesy offerings, including the artichoke, caramelized onion and grated parmesan-topped Tribeca or a pork-laden Meatpacking District for the carnivores amongst you. But its not just for dough lovers. Salads, pasta and a selection of appetisers - think arancini balls and fried garlic mushrooms - are also up for grabs. 

As for drinks, expect craft beers, potent house cocktails and wines to keep you sipping through the night.
