The home of the hottest up-and-coming jam-bands, bluegrass, & dance-tronica for the last 7 years, the Brass Lantern is a small, three-room, 200-person club nestled in the northeast section of the city of Reading, Pennsylvania.  It is also 21+ only (no exceptions) and NON-SMOKING (until further notice).

It only hosts live music or DJs two or three times a week.  The rest of the week, it’s your normal comfy watering hole, “…where everybody knows your name“.

Hosting such notables as Future Rock with Orchard Lounge, The Bridge, Cabinet, Lotus, Pnuma Trio, Quagmire Swim Team, DJ Flow (from The Chappelle Show), Melvin Seals, Frogholler, Juggling Suns, and Jah Works, the Brass Lantern stands out as southeastern Pennsylvania’s “Best Kept Secret”.   It has built a remarkably loyal fanbase by using only word-of-mouth & free online advertising.

The Brass Lantern features an intimate atmosphere, with a small semi-circle stage only 1 foot above the ground, so the music is truly in-your-face, which ensures the vibe is always right on.

There’s also a gameroom with arcade games, pool tables, electronic darts, and foosball if you need to get away from the intensity of the bar or the volume in the music room.

I plan to keep the Brass Lantern true to its roots, by continuing to host the live music that has made it the pillar of positive vibrations.

The Brass Lantern offers:
- 6 beers on draft
- $3 Jager, Rumplemintz, Blackhaus & other shots
- Wings, Burgers, Nachos, Patty Melts, Salads, & more
- Kitchen open until 10pm!
- Friendly service & great overall vibe
- Open 5pm til 2am except Sundays
