Q&A with the Owner

Décor can say a lot about the type of food a restaurant serves. How does your décor inform or reflect your culinary practice?
[It's] warm and inviting [with] fireplaces, booths outlined in fabric curtains, a large square bar with a granite top, and Italian art work to go with the name.

In your own words, how would you describe your menu?
Delicious Italian Food with a homemade taste. Our salads are amazing and one of our biggest sellers for lunch or dinner. Most of our desserts are made in-house and we feature Italian specialties like tiramisu and cannoli.

Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
We are known for our great food but also for our live entertainment Tuesday through Saturday night. We like to pride ourselves on being a place you can come to enjoy a delicious dinner and then go into our bar area and partake in dancing and live entertainment.

The owners of Liberty Taproom revere the art of brewing—so much so that they've turned their establishment into a sort of beer museum, filled with framed pictures and steins emblazoned with microbrew brands. American craft and Belgian beers are prominent throughout the 32 taps and more than 500 bottle selections. If the beer menu gets overwhelming, Liberty's staff will happily make recommendations, whether you want to try a beer at the bar or get a mix-and-match six pack of some of the beers for takeout service. As you sip a beer or enjoy some of the restaurant’s creative gastropub fare, you’re encouraged to shoot pool, kick back on the patio, or watch favorite sports teams on the flat-screen televisions.

The Forest Inn is conveniently located 1 block up from the Sovereign Center in downtown Reading. It offers a wide variety of Pub Food and specializes in the Famous Coney Island Hot Dogs, Burgers, & Fresh Cut French Fries. 9 Beers on Tap & 25 Bottles. Check out the old style décor, bar back & tin ceiling dating back to 1867.

At Pike Cafe, the glow of 40 high-def TVs illuminates diners as they fasten their fangs on steaks, seafood, pasta, wings, and more. After browsing a diverse dinner menu, eaters can set off on their gastronomic journey with a starter, such as lobster crostinis ($10.95). Chicken ($13.95), steak ($14.95), and jumbo shrimp ($15.95) fajitas command the attention of ears, snouts, and tongues, popping and sizzling like break dancers on a midsummer's blacktop. Hickory-smoked bacon enrobes the char-grilled classic pike filet mignon, which is garnished with marinated portobello mushrooms and sautéed onions and doused with a veal demi-glaze ($21.95).

Parched patrons can mosey over to the polished wood bar to wet their whistles and catch up on sporting events displayed on flat-screen TVs. The bar serves an octet of regular tap beers, supplemented by a varied selection of bottled brews and Beringer Founders' Estate wines, and swaps out half of its typical taps for a rotating selection of microbrews and specialty brews on Saturdays. Third Rail also hosts an open mic on Tuesday nights, perfect for emerging vocal artists or experienced artists yearning to break from the tyrannical hold of Garfunkel.
