Caffeine & Cocktails

Book Caffeine & Cocktails for those business meetings and events with a more relaxed edge, and for private dining and parties. Right in the middle of Reading, this must be one of the hippest places to hang out and definitely a left-field approach to conferences, product launches, and team building days.

As the name suggests, it’s all about Caffeine & Cocktails, so if that’s your thing this should be high on your shortlist. There’s a lot of floor to ceiling glass, a terrace outside, and interiors are that earthy industrial-meets-chic kind of look, with a lot of exposed ducting, raw metal, and enticing leather Chesterfields. There’s a lot of neon too, which gives it a funky vibe, great for parties for up to 120 people if you book the whole place. You can do that Sunday to Thursday, and on the occasion, Fridays too; if there’s not quite that many of you book part of the building to suit the size of your party.

The team at Caffeine & Cocktails will get things sorted for you – you know, theming if you want it, setting up the AV gear and that, they’re a helpful and friendly bunch. Wifi is very reliable superfast as you’d expect; and catering, well, they do tasty breakfasts, brunches, sharing platters, sarnies, cakes and pastries in-house, but you can hire outside caterers if you want to.

The bartenders here are wizards when it comes to shaking and stirring; boy, do they know their stuff! So how about a cocktail masterclass? Get your crew mixing their own Manhattans and Mojitos, or even something bespoke, a cocktail of their own making; a great way to round off a conference or meeting, or something to book for treats and rewards, and what’s more, it’s all very reasonably priced.

Caffeine & Cocktails is in the lively Kings Walk, with public car parks close by and Reading train station is a 20 minute stroll away.
