The Ugly Oyster Drafthaus - Reading

I loved coming to this place just because of the nice beer list... until I opened a box for my sandwich and when I opened there was a dead cockroach smashed up on the lid. Big!!!! When I called the owner to tell him he apologized, but when my husband tried to call him a second time, he ignored his calls. He's lucky I didn't call the health inspectors. I can't go stomach again.

This is definitely a place worth visiting. I got the Fish and Chips which was very delicious. I finished the entire plate with malt vinegar and the lemon slices. No ketchup was served, which means the fries were good enough to eat without. Although they seemed to lack a solid Porter or Stout selection, the Belgian ale I got there was excellent. Definitely a must-hit-once-food-stop of Berks County.

I haven't had the pleasure of visiting the pub, but, I have ordered and had delivered. The food is amazing. I am very picky about my crab meals. Ice had the ugly pretzel, crab dip and crab cake sandwich. All outstanding!!! Wish I could eat there more often. Major props and respect!!

The Irish pub is better than it needs to be. Excellent drinks, food and service.
