The lifestyle in Reading · Greater Philadelphia · Berks County
The lifestyle scene in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Reading is Berks County's river city — outlet-mall history, Pennsylvania Dutch country at its edges, and a gritty urban core working its way through the classic Rust Belt arc.

What the scene looks like here
Reading has no lifestyle venue of its own. Philadelphia's two clubs — The Pleasure Garden Club's ticketed nights and Saints & Sinners' large themed parties — are an hour-plus southeast, and The Korral, a members-only on-premise club in Spring Grove, is an hour-plus drive west. Either direction makes a planned trip; check each venue's own calendar and membership process before booking a night.
