A historical pub in the heart of the City
HAPPY HOUR DAILY 4PM - 6PM
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 to a greedy brewery or high street chain, which means we have the freedom to choose which beers we stock
We are in the process of teaming up with a new local independent brewery, 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.
...of course, you'll find your favourite classics behind the bar too, so we'll always pour you a great Guinness!
