About Firefly Cellar Bar
150 Standing / Reception
80 Seated
Victorian brick arches curve overhead in the Firefly Cellar Bar, where we've carefully preserved the original railway architecture that dates back to Brunel's time. Down here in our underground sanctuary, the exposed brickwork creates natural alcoves that flow into open spaces, each one catching the warm glow from our carefully positioned lighting. We've furnished the cellar with plush seating in rich teal and mustard tones, arranging chairs and sofas to encourage both lively conversation and relaxed lounging. Your guests can gather around our reclaimed wood bar, which we keep fully stocked for every celebration, from milestone birthdays to wedding receptions. The versatile layout accommodates up to 150 guests for drinks and mingling, or we can arrange seating for 80 when you prefer a more formal dinner setup. Those original arches do more than look impressive, they create distinct zones within the space, perfect for breaking up larger parties into more intimate groups. We've added contemporary touches where they matter: our audio system fills the cellar with crystal-clear sound for speeches or background music, while reliable internet access keeps everyone connected. The eclectic artwork dotting the walls adds personality without overwhelming the historic character of the space. Being directly next to Reading railway station makes life simple for your guests, whether they're popping down from London or coming from across town. Our team knows this cellar inside out, from the best spots for group photos against the brickwork to how the acoustics work for live music. We handle corporate gatherings, birthday parties, engagement celebrations, and everything in between, adapting the space to match your vision while the Victorian arches provide a backdrop you simply won't find elsewhere in Reading.
