We're on Penn Street, close to Santander Arena. Come in for a cold beer and a hot dog before you head over.

The best Coney Island Hot Dogs this side of the Mississippi. I visit this place or try to visit this place at least once a month. By far their Coney Island dogs are the BEST in Reading and in Berks County. There are others, but none stand up up against these guys.

The owner, Chris always makes everyone feel comfortable and remembers everyone's name. He always remembers what you drink and it's usually sitting on the bar in front of where you sit every week. You kinda get a Cheers vibe. Lest we forget the Coney Island burgers and dogs. So delicios!!!

A couple friends and I stopped at Forrest Inn to pregame prior to an event. Seems like your typical dive bar when walking in. But Harry was a one man show; serving up drinks, cooking, running food, and amazing customer service. The food has cheap prices with great flavor. I went back for a second basket of the fresh cut fries. Definitely worth stopping in and checking it out. Daily drink specials too

Best Coneys in Berks. Accept no substitutes. The beer is cold, the dogs are fresh, and the crowd is usually pretty awesome. If you're going to a show at Santander or just cruising the city, this is a spot you don't want to skip. You can thank me later.
