There’s a reason to celebrate, its National Cosmopolitan Day!

Yes it is! Tuesday May 7th is NATIONAL COSMOPOLITAN DAY, the perfect reason to raise your glass and toast one of the most iconic of cocktails and at our cocktail bar and restaurant you can get the BEST ONE IN TOWN!

 No-one can really be certain where the first Cosmopolitan originated from and there are many credible tales that claim its creation. One thing we can be certain of is that it’s rise in popularity in the 90`s was thanks to Carrie Bradshaw and her friends. Hardly an episode of Sex in the City aired without at least one clink of Cosmo filled martini glasses from the girls as they chin chinned their way through a lazy lunch or pre dinner drinks. They certainly inspired their viewing nations to try this forgotten treasure and bring it back to life and, still today, it features high on the cocktail list in any reputable establishment.

At Coconut Bar and Kitchen we pride ourselves on our FANTASTIC cocktail bar and mixologists. Our drinks menu contains a mixture of Classics and Coconut Originals. The choice is huge and each one created with love and care using high end spirits and mixers, fresh juices and amazing garnishes.

What’s more, we have HAPPY HOUR every day so you can enjoy many of our cocktails, including a Cosmopolitan at amazing prices. And when we say happy hour, we should really say HAPPY HOURS!
Monday to Thursday 4:30pm - 9pm,
Friday & Saturday 4:30pm - 7pm,
Sunday it’s all day. Yes, ALL DAY!!

This review is from one of our many lovely customers. Thank you Nikki88RVN for telling others about your great visit here. We really appreciate you taking the time to do so!

This place is insane “We came here last night for a business social, cocktail making followed by food. The cocktail masterclass was brilliant, everyone enjoyed themselves and the cocktails they made. The food which followed was incredible, absolutely flawless, tasted amazing and would 100% recommend and will be back!”

A cracking Easter weekend awaits you!

With Easter only a few days away it’s time to dust off your bonnet and get down to Coconut Bar & Kitchen for a bank holiday weekend of celebration!

From THURSDAY 18th APRIL through to EASTER SUNDAY we will be in the party mood. Whether you want to come in for a relaxed family lunch, early cocktails and dinner, early cocktails and a later dinner or just early cocktails, late cocktails and even later cocktails, our cocktail bar and restaurant can offer you just what you want.

Our Live DJ will be in action from 9.30pm on Friday and Saturday night as always and, just for Easter, will also be getting the party going on Sunday night too, and with our Sunday Brunch available between 11.30pm and 6.30pm and Happy Hour All Day it certainly will be the place to be.
Please make sure if you want to eat, during the day or evening, that you book in advance as we do get booked up very quickly. We’d hate you to be disappointed. 

Minnie was certainly not disappointed when she came to visit us the other day. Thank you for leaving this glowing review Minnie! Maybe we’ll see you again over Easter?

Fabulous!!  Highly recommend Coconut Bar and Kitchen. I went with friends for cocktails and food. The cocktails are really tasty, the food is amazing. I have been a few times and never been disappointed with it. One of my friends is vegetarian and the choice for her was brilliant. They do nearly all the dishes with chicken, fish, beef or vegetables and she had the most choice she ever has had at a restaurant. The staff are polite and efficient. We had a brilliant meal and will be returning very soon.

Here at Coconut Bar and Kitchen we like to make a difference. Our customers are always our main focus and we strive to offer them everything they want and more and, in most cases, what the rest of Reading doesn’t offer.

These are quick, light snacks with the quality ingredients, exquisite tastes and excellent cuisine that everyone expects from us.

And just so you know we’re not making it up, here’s what one of our lovely customers said about us last week. There’s really not much more we could add. Thank you Cherry!

“Amazing

I’ve visited here over 10 times for different occasions. The food and drink is always perfect as is the service. 
The bar: They put a lot of attention and care into their drink menu and it shows. Every drink I have had has the wow factor. Hands down the best porn star Martini in Reading and another drink I strongly suggest is the kiwi gardens.
Food: Great selection of food and a lot of variety. I enjoy every meal I have ordered. My fave starter is the sticky Thai wings and my fave main is the Thai green curry. They also do a tasty Singapore Noodle. 
Service: Every server I have had is always lovely but a massive thank you to Youraj who made our last stay very comfortable and memorable. All the servers go out of their way to provide you the best service. The doorman are very nice and mild mannered. They kindly enforce the rules and open the doors for the ladies. 
Night Vibe: I had one of the best nights in Coconut past food service. They project music videos on to the projector and play great hits that everyone knows so everyone could have a sing along, dance and enjoy themselves.
I LOVE COCONUT
First place I recommend when someone wants to go out”

Thank you for reading our blog. Hope to see you soon.

“When life hands you lemons, bust out the tequila and salt!”

It’s a funny thing, adding salt when drinking tequila, but, as with food, it actually enhances the flavour and helps to tamper the bitterness. Of course, the most famous drink associated with tequila is the Margarita. There are many interesting anecdotes about it origins but according to cocktail historian (now that sounds like a great job!) David Wondrich, it is a version of a popular Mexican and American brandy based drink called Daisy. During prohibition, people would hop over the border for alcohol, the native tipple being tequila which is made from the locally grown blue agave. So, with their newly discovered tequila and lack of brandy, the cocktail was soon modified to suit the situation and it was fittingly christened Margarita, Spanish for Daisy. There is an account from 1936 of newspaper editor James Graham finding this cocktail in the Mexican city, Tijuana, years before any other claims of this fine cocktail even existing.

Today is National Margarita Day and here at our cocktail bar and restaurant we serve a fabulous Margarita. During our Happy Hour, 4.30pm – 7pm on a Friday, you can enjoy that, and many other cocktails, for the amazing price of just £5.50. You may also be interested to know that every Wednesday is Perfect Wednesday at Coconut Bar and Kitchen, when you can get a Margarita made with the exquisite Patron Tequila for just £5.50! 

It’s not just us who thinks we serve great cocktails. This is what one of our lovely guests, Cat, said.

“Brilliant bar staff and their cocktails  ...I had such a good time, the atmosphere was amazing and the cocktails were outstanding. I was served by these two beautiful people at the bar... it certainly feels like home here at coconut! Thank you for the great service. XOXO”

Thank you Cat, we really appreciate your feedback. See you again soon.

Our Signature Korean Bibimbap Dish

Coconut Bar and Kitchen is a restaurant with a difference. Our style is pan-Asian, unique to Reading, and offers a variety of dishes from South East Asia, some of which you may not have seen before.

Take the stress out of worrying if you’ve had your 5 a day, a healthy portion of protein and a daily dose of carbs by tucking in to one of our signature Bibimbap dishes.  It really does have it all and comes with a tasty sauce. It’s delicious, healthy and filling. No wonder everyone is talking about it.

‘Coolest place in Reading.  Came in with friends had some lovely cocktails followed by some beautiful food. Bibimbap was sooo good . Paul came to talk us through the menu and delivered on the quality . Thank you coconut for making our night . Will return soon .x ‘

Thank you shifu123, so glad you had such a great time with us.

Bibimbap is a traditional Korean dish. It’s not really known where it originates from, some believe people may have started mixing foods together to eat with the gods. These were outside rituals so lots of separate plates were not practical. Traditionally it was eaten on the eve of the lunar new year when, back then, people felt they should use up all their leftover side dishes. It was a perfect solution to put them all in one bowl and mix it up with some rice.

Take a look at our main menu http://www.coconutbarkitchen.co.uk/#main-menu

There really is something for everyone. Whether you prefer spicy or mild, rice or noodles, beef or chicken, veggie or vegan, we have it all. If you’re feeling very brave you can even spice it up by adding Shanghai Hot chilli to your order. Include something from our cocktail bar in your visit and you’ll see why people love to visit our cocktail bar and restaurant, and why they return.

Many thanks for reading we look forward to seeing you soon.
