If these walls could talk... ❤️
Did you know The Shakespeare is Bristol's longest-serving ale house?
Our beautiful Georgian building dates back to 1722, and in 1777 it became a bustling dockside inn, serving sailors and warehouse workers from Bristol's busy harbour.
And just look at the list of landlords who've called The Shakespeare their pub over the years! So many different faces, all playing their part in its incredible history.
Nearly 250 years later, we're still here, still pouring pints and getting ready for another exciting chapter! 🍻
We can't wait to welcome you back in November! 🙌

Love pubs? We need your support!

Hospitality brings communities together, but right now three hospitality business are closing every day. That’s why we're backing the call to cut VAT for hospitality from 20% to 10% and help secure the future of the sector.
