Maria's Lounge & Restaurant at 404 Penn Street, Reading, Pennsylvania.

If you are more interested in food than atmosphere or anything else for that matter, then this may be a good choice. Pizza, subs, burgers, they offer the traditional pizza/bar menu. You can get an enormous plain slice of pizza for $2.75. I think the pizza is pretty good. The fries are good too. That being said, there are usually drug addicts outside trying to bum money from any passerby, and an obnoxious crowd at the bar of the same caliber. The owner tries to discourage this behavior but there isn't much he can do in that area of Penn st. In Reading. It comes with the territory. You're not in any real danger, it's just an annoyance and I find the pizza worth it.
