The Shakespeare

2 Goswell Road, Barbican

A historical gastropub in the heart of the City

HAPPY HOUR DAILY 5PM - 7PM

 

Welcome to The Shakespeare. A family-run, local favourite. Built in 1964, the name is inspired by the Bard himself, who lived some hundred metres away throughout his time in London.

​

We’re proud to say that we’re no longer tied by a greedy brewery or high street chain, which means we have the freedom to choose which beers we stock and at what price we flog them...

 

So a pint from our favourite brewery will now only cost you £5.50 at Happy Hour. Long live the local!

 

We’ve chosen Renegade Brewery as our main provider. Pints for renegades, misfits and adventurers at heart. A brewery revolving around locally sourced, quality ingredients, with earth-friendly ambitions, dedicated to providing incredible tasting lagers and ales, with bold flavours, and a story behind each pint.

 

Renegade strives also for inclusivity, meaning there’s something for everyone.

Our selection is proudly vegan, with gluten free and low ABV (0.5%) options available.

​

Of course, you'll find your favourite classics behind the bar too, so we'll always pour you a great Guinness!
