🏆 WELL KNOCK ME DOWN WITH A FEATHER!! WE’VE ONLY GONE AND DONE IT! 🏆

YELP has named us the #1 Sports Bar in the USA! 🇺🇸🍻

What an incredible honour.

From Formula One to Premier League football, La Liga, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Baseball, MLS, NWSL,NHL, The Olympics and everything in between, we’ve always believed that every fan deserves a place to call home, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

For 36 years, we’ve welcomed fans from every corner of the world, united under one roof to create an atmosphere that feels less like a pub and more like a stadium.

Whether you’re celebrating a last-minute wiining goal or questioning the referee’s eyesight, everyone’s welcome.

Thank you to every single fan who’s set their alarm for a 4am kick-off, worn their colours with pride, and helped make this place what it is today...and with the World Cup just days away… we’re just getting warmed up. ⚽🌎🍺

Cheers, everyone.

SUPER SUNDAY at The Shakespeare is nearly here! ⚽🍻

Doors open bright and early at 6:30 a.m. for the final day of the EPL season, with selected matches all kicking off at 8 a.m. — because apparently the football gods enjoy giving us all simultaneous heart attacks. 😅

Check the website to see which matches we’ll be showing.

Fantastic atmosphere, great food, cold beer, dramatic VAR decisions, and at least one bloke shouting at the telly like the manager can hear him. Proper Sunday stuff. 🍳🍺

🚨 ON DRAFT & PROUD 🚨

We’ve only gone and done it… Wrexham Lager is now pouring on draft at The Shakespeare 🍻

Straight from North Wales to San Diego, this isn’t just a pint… it’s a proper bit of football history in a glass. Once the only beer served on the Titanic… and now, somehow, it’s landed right here at your local.

We’re one of the first in Southern California to have it pouring, so come down and see what all the fuss is about.

Who knows — maybe Ryan Reynolds or Rob McElhenney will swing by for one 👀 (we’ll keep a seat warm just in case).

Until then, you lot will have to do. Come grab a proper pint.
