My Son was home last weekend and we found ourselves at a loose end on Friday evening so I decided to take him to the new Siren bar in Reading for a pint and a catch-up. Like me, he's followed the Siren story for a few years now and was interested to see how their flagship establishment was shaping up so we hopped on the train and headed into town. The bar was busy with after work drinkers, lot's of guys and gals in suits, probably grabbing a quick beer before heading over to the station to catch the train home (it's only 2 minutes to the station) it was nice to see the place buzzing with people and dishes of food seemed to be flying out of the kitchen at a rate of knots!
It was a good vibe and so we decided to stay a while, to keep us going prior to dinner we ordered some bar snacks. The food was good and came really quickly, some salted squid and cheese croquettes, a good start. The beers were on point as usual for Siren so we had a couple before heading back to the station around 6pm, but before we left I showed him the list of investors that is hung up on the wall next to the bar. I invested in the brewery a few years ago and also participated in the crowd funding round that helped fit out the new bar, so my name was there (see photo above), a nice little touch, we shall return!
