❤️ A brutalist Barbican boozer.
The Shakespeare sits on a corner of a crescent of shops and flats at the front end of the Golden Lane Estate EC1. The nearest Tube is Barbican which is only a two minute walk.
The Shakespeare was built in 1964 and is Grade II listed. The n
A great pub with great atmosphere, comfy sofa/chairs, a piano, a resident cat- and most importantly has a few boardgames. So essentially you can always come here with your friends and play (for free might I add- unlike those commercial and expensive boardgame pubs)
Had 0 expectations coming in here and just wanted a quick bite to eat after travelling all day. Have to say I was very impressed and think this is a lovely quirky pub with really affordable food and drinks and a great pub cat!
The barmen were friendly. Happy hour cocktails (5-7pm) are valid when ordering the same drink.
The food menu was quite limited but from the options available, we chose tortellini and a beef burger - both were delicious.
Toilet facilities could be better.
Popped in today with some family and found it child friendly and welcoming. There was a relaxed atmosphere and the resident cat was very accommodating with my young nephew and took the attention in his/her stride. We did not have food but will do another time.
Nice pub for a relaxing evening after a hectic week. Good drinks, relaxing atmosphere and a chilled ambience. Pizza isn't bad either.
Had a burger while watching footy. Burger was amazing. Perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Fries where banging.
For some reason I was a expecting a verrrrry old crusty pub but it wasn’t… pleasant decor and staff! Quiet on the weekend. Seems popular for after work drinks
I really like the staff, especially the owner, Oscar!
Also, they have their own brand gin called Shakes' Ink. I am not a fan of gin at all but I drink this one straight. Soooooo good!
Incredible team any amazing company! Thank you so much for the nice evening
5/5 for the comedy club. The 5 comedians were absolutely awesome. Would definitely recommend. The staff and drinks were nice.
Half a star down because of the toilets. The bar and ambiance were great but then you go to dirty toilets, meh.
So good that we made it our local. Great atmosphere, amazing pizzas and a secret basement bar.
Dog friendly too 🐶
Great atmosphere, lovely staff, always a great night 💃🕺
Lovely spot with lovely staff! The owner makes his own gin and it's delicious! They have a great cocktail menu and lovely little food menu. A delicious cheese toastie for £3.50 and the tortellini bolognese for £9 was a delight. It kicks off here at night! Watch out or you'll never leave.
The best Guinness I have ever had. The waiter is so nice and funny. The service is quick and their Irish beef burger is immaculate.
