Live at The Local at The Rising Sun, Reading
Is it even Friday if you aren’t at The Rising Sun?
Welcome to Live at The Local, our feel good way to kick off the weekend in Reading.
On Fridays, we bring a little extra buzz to The Rising Sun with live music, comedy, magic and all sorts of easygoing entertainment.


Friday Night in Reading
At The Rising Sun, we believe the best evenings don’t need much fuss. Something delicious from our menu, a drink in hand and some live entertainment to lift the mood. That’s the idea behind Live at The Local.
You might find an acoustic set drifting through the bar, a comedian raising a few laughs or a surprise act bringing something a little different.
Each night has its own character, but the atmosphere is always warm, relaxed and unmistakably local.

Also… Don’t Forget Happy Hour to Start the Weekend!
However you like to spend your Friday night, Live at The Local fits right in.
Don’t foget you can join us from 5pm to 7pm for Happy Hour at The Rising Sun, where you can enjoy 2-for-1 on selected bottled beers, cocktails and glasses of wine.
It’s the perfect excuse to arrive early, settle in and ease into the evening before the entertainment begins.
