Dined with friends. Good food, well priced, and the pub brews it's own ale that has to be tried. Would recommend if your're visiting Bristol.

I only went there for a few pints of cider after a rock gig on the Mardyke. The bar staff were friendly & efficient. I will have to return another time maybe to sample their food.

A Cask Marque pub that knows about it's beers. 7 hand pulls and only two from the owning GK chain. Some of menu is pricey, but Steak&Ale for £13-45 is good these days. Friendly guy in charge of bar knew all about the Cask Marque ale trail week, and Camra discount. This is a pub I've not previously had on our Bristol Crawl, but that has now changed. Enjoyed my session during Bristol Sea Shanty weekend. Thanks.

For a Green King, this is really not a bad spot at all! The service was great with such friendly staff. They also had a cracking ale selection and the house wine was lovely too. The inside is really pleasant so don’t let it’s location/ exterior put you off.

Love this pub, have been there many times because of its great central location, good food and lovely atmosphere. Recently booked this pub for a birthday party because of the upstairs function room. The team were super accommodating of our large group and a fun night was had by all. Will continue to go back!

Had a great time at the Shakespeare celebrating my 30th birthday. We hired a private room to celebrate and I must say Nick and the team couldn't do enough to make sure it was a special day! Thank you!

Really lovely pub! I've been here several times now and reasonably priced, great for all kind of occasions and lovely 'Shaskepearean' atomstopher. The staff are very friendly, especially the manager and assistant manager!

It was mine and my husbands anniversary the other day and we decided to retrace where we met in sunny old Bristol, revisiting all the old places that we used to go to when we was younger. One of these memories takes us back to The Shakespeare Tavern, we used to sit in the window and chat about our days!! We was amazed with how amazing the service was and the quality of food was lovely! We especially loved the roast potatoes, you never get them as good as how you guys make them! The staff that served us think he was from Yorkshire! He was attentive and friendly. It's always great when the service enhances the overall experience! 🌟🍽️

Meat pie was pretty.... needed more meat too feel like a value.
Staff was pleasant and smiles were freely given.

Really good Sunday lunch but a few things can be improved. The beef was honestly so so so amazing, tender and really good quality. The gravy and Yorkshire were also really good!
Roast potatoes could be crispier but the inside was so fluffy and soft so I was happy. Only thing I think let the lunch down was the veggies - a bland quarter cabbage that was steamed and just put on top of the plate was quite disappointing. The carrots were alright but could and should be sweeter. The food was warm but would’ve been great if it was piping hot. Overall, really lovely and filling. I’d definitely come back.
