Mix Bar, Reading

Pink, fluffy, and fantastically kitsch, the award-winning Mix Bar is a flamingo-pink paradise with a cocktail menu to make mouths water. Situated just off the riverside in Reading, Mix has a passion for mixology, which is apparent in its cocktail masterclasses, where punters can make like Tom Cruise in Cocktail - though that might take more than one lesson.
