Reviews of The Shakespeare Inn

D. W.

Lovely friendly welcoming pub. A group of 10 had a splendid few hours enjoying the fayre yesterday. Efficient service, delicious food and good selection of beers and wines. What's not to like well done Team 👍

I. M.

Definitely like this place, has an old brum pub feel but is contemporary enough to be busy at night. Great choice of beers and food but a tiny bit pricey for an out of the centre pub.

T. D.

Brilliant pub. Great gin selection and lagers well kept. Nice outdoor area to drink as well as the traditional indoor pub area. Excellent place.

b. S.

Came here with the staff for a party and the manager, Ryan, really looked after us. Had a great time, and the bar staff are super friendly. Will definitely return!

A. C.

This place is a gem! It is what you'd expect from any pub, good selection of ales and cider, food, great place to relax with friends. Oh, and it has a really nice backyard too..

S. A.

Lovely old pub, great ales and food, friendly staff. The interior is fantastic, hope they never change it. A great spot in the city centre.

A. M.

A really great pub. Friendly and attentive staff, good food and a great atmosphere.

M. W.

The only thing that would improve this venue is traditional Victorian prices! Still reasonably priced though for an inner city pub. Friendly staff and good selection of beverages.

E. W.

Good food reasonably priced friendly staff and great beer also lovely authentic old world pub

B. F.

This place has good atmosphere for drinks. It’s an old Victorian pub. Unfortunately the food service was quite slow and the food presentation was not as good as in other Nicholson pubs nearby (next time I’d eat at the old joint stock).

D. H.

Had the gammon. Absolutely delicious. Quaint little place with a bar and separate dining room. Friendly staff, good pricing for city centre. Tables were a little sticky.

M. P.

Absolutely beautiful pub. Superb selection of beers at a fair price and very friendly staff.

S. N.

Amazing food, lovely staff, some of the prices were a bit much. Bought 2 classic burgers and 2 pints and it come up to £28.80

L. e. L.

With all the roads closed that's the place u end up with. Luckily food is good, service is nice and beer is plenty. So enjoy! Not the worst place to be stack. Go to Shakespeare and wait till everything blow up :)

B.

Expensive but good range of well kept real ales and gins

B. S.

Great place to have a beer, a nice pie or a board game with friends. The team are excellent and the place is always clean. Nearly as good as The OC's or Bacchus.

T. B.

Wonderful traditional pub/restaurant in heart of centre with snug to the side, serving excellent real ales such as Wainwright and Doombar. Splendid warm atmosphere.

S. P.

Usually a good experience but on this occasion we were asked to leave by 7pm as they had a big party on. When I mentioned to a female staff member that there was no loo role in the ladies she replied that she only had one pair of hands. I do apologise if the customers are an inconvenience.

E. T.

Lovely pub meal but the friendly staff are what really make this pub. I was travelling alone so a warm, friendly environment makes a real difference.

D. G.

Nice little pub but pretty expensive drinks. It also takes a while to get something. Not the best pub in my opinion but it was delicious.

P. G.

Always a good range of ales on. Good sized outdoor area for a city centre venue. Haven't eaten here for a while, but has always been good in the past.

Found this pub going to a restaurant & called in for quick drink it's what I would call a good old fashioned pub. Staff were great directed us to a table & were very friendly. A good range of draft beers & gins with Fever Tree tonics. Shame it can't be my local.

N. B.

Super welcoming barmaid made us visitors feel at ease straight away and invited us to sit in the shady beer garden where we took our lovely refreshing drinks to peruse the food menu, ordering food was quick and simple and when the food arrived it was hot and very tasty. Our visit was only spoilt by a stag party meeting up in the beer garden and becoming super rowdy. We soon ate up and left after that otherwise we would have ordered desserts and more drinks as our hotel was right next door.

M. T.

Small friendly pub, good service, good food.

I. A.

Update(Reply to The Shakespeare, Summer Row): The only disappointing aspect of the visit was that the Sunday menu have been removed. If it's restored, I'll happily give a 5 star. This is, of course, the decision of the staff and management and I'll completely understand if it's not possible due to operational reasons. I will, nonetheless, continue to patronise The Shakespeare as it's the nearest pub to my student dorm, and also the most affordable. Additionally, the quality of food (those on the regular menu) and drinks, as well as the quality of service from the staff, continues to be excellent.

E. D.

Great pub that does lovely food, staying next door at the ibis styles hotel, so popped in for a beer. The menu looked good, so ordered the Gammon, chips and eggs, it was fantastic value and tasted delicious. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere even during the week. Totally recommended.

Popped in for an impromptu drink with friends as we were staying round the corner. We were welcomed by the landlord and made to feel really welcome. Fantastic service and drinks selection. Nice to find a landlord who is passionate about his premises and also knowledgeable about its history. A tough industry to be in at the moment but this guy made sure it didnt affect or spoil anyones experience

P. R.

What a gem!!!! Beautiful interior and a great selection of beers, ciders & wines. Love the atmosphere along withe the staff. Well worth a visit.

Very nice interior. The staff are super friendly. However, drinks are a bit pricy, its like £8 for a drink.

W. C.

Great little neighborhood pub. Food and drinks always spot on. I remember it being a bit lacklustre when I visited a few years ago but it seems whoever is in charge has really improved things.

C.

An absolute gem of a place! Staying at the Ibis next door, ventured out for food and this did not disappoint! The batter on the fish was to die for, the homemade tartare sauce divine. The steak and ale pie was quality and filling. Good ale too

S. K.

So happy to see this place open again. Good quality pub in the centre of town with a decent run of alcohol free options.

S. C.

Food was awesome! Staff were brilliant 👍. Top job all round.

L. B.

First time here and it was brilliant. Staff friendly and polite. Love the garden area too. Cannot wait to enjoy another night here.

E. b.

Lovely pub great atmosphere great beer

M. L.

Good food and drink. Great staff

J. S.

Friendly cosy pub just a minutes walk from centre of Birmingham.

S. H.

Compact just enough room to get a wheelchair around. Food is tasty but it's a bit like gourmet food meets pub grub. Pie was a reasonable size but mash and veg were scarce felt a little pricey for what you got, but it is a city pub not a market town pub.

S. Y.

Great old fashioned pub near city centre.

We all came here last week, Sunday 16th August after a day of shopping. We were only going to stay for a couple of pints and head home on the train. Very impressed with all the covid precautions as we walked in although bemused a little by the fact that it was card only and no cash, but it’s strange times. We were shown to our table and give a drinks menu. I thought I’d have a gin and looked through. Seeing that there were more gins than on the menu I asked for a recommendation and explained my tastes. I was given several options and went with monkey 47 and it was amazing such intense flavours. A great recommendation. My friend had Guinness and another Ubu. Both telling me that theirs drinks were also great pints. We stayed for 3 more rounds as it was such a great time with the staff. And some bar snacks that were such great value. We’ll be back next time we are in town.

P. S.

Good variety of options available on the new menu. However, I was disappointed with the quality of food and service. You must specify the exact side you wish to have with a burger, otherwise they will default to a salad without asking you. They are also far too busy during lunch hours especially on a friday afternoon so expect a long wait of over an hour for your food.

E. N.

Tasty food, good portion & polite staff. The atmosphere is nice and I had a lovely time. The vegan burger was especially tasty.

J. H.

Nice staff, good food and atmospheric atmosphere, only issue is the price hike since the last time I was there, but it was a nice night out.

M. L.

Very nice pub the food n staff were amazing cozy lil place

N. R. F.

Very friendly the drinks came quickly but the meal was different the starters came at the same time as the main meal not the way you do it really but all in all a nice experience thanks guys

D. B.

We ate here on a Saturday lunch and it was lovely! The steak and ale pie was spot on and my husband enjoyed the hunters chicken. The larger was that nice and reasonably priced that we returned in the evening, bringing all our family with us. It was great if you was staying at the Ibis hotel as it was next door.

G. A.

Nice staff, nice pub, nice beer, nice

P. A.

A first time visit, must say the pubs got very friendly and helpful staff would recommend to anyone, a great experience.

K. N.

Very much enjoyed chatting with the staff and local patrons, and Servers were very generous with their time to ensure our group had a wonderful experience. We visited several times during our 3 day stay in Birmingham, and each time the service was great! The decor is welcoming and 'homey'. The food was quite tasty, but be prepared to be patient and enjoy another pint if the restaurant is full.

A. S.

Great food. A bit chilly (weather not the welcome) We had the steak ale and mushroom pie which was very tasty and the mix of vegetables was a pleasant change to the usual peas - there was spring greens, carrots, green beans and peas. Plus lovey mash and gravy.

C. L.

Clean, friendly environment. Staff obliging. Food good. Nice location.

C. B.

Really cosy traditional pub, a real gem on the edge of the jewelry quarter. Food and service were both fantastic. A really good vegetarian selection and decent portion sizes. Real ales kept very well.

K. M.

Friendly staff, great lager and a eye appealing interior and exterior would definitely visit again!

S. P.

It is an amazing pub. The staff tonight worked above and beyond. Total credit to themselves. The booze was fab and the food plentiful. They may only do ONE cider, but it's bloody good.

Z. R.

Visited several times whilst staying in Birmingham for some training with work. Super friendly staff who even remember your drinks order days on and lovely food. Great little find and will definitely return if I am in Birmingham again.

A. T.

This is certainly one of the tastiest place in the region. Every time I come there I am very happy. They manage their high level service and the highest level of dishes they offer. You no doubt will love this restaurant. Warmly recommended.

E.

Didn't have food, just drinks. Came in the rear way via the beer garden, wow, what an effort they have made there! Looked superb! Served quickly at the bar, and inside was a classy yet still somewhat traditional decor.

M. N.

Great food, friendly staff and it looks really nice inside. It was a bit too packed for me especially in the bar area hence the 4 stars. It's not really a negative but it's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

M. G.

A beautiful pub. I am visiting in the late afternoon with the lowering sun pouring through the large arched windows. Perfectly volumed music cascading to fill the spaces in conversation. An excellent selection of real ales should please most drinkers along with the usual pub fare of lagers, cider and wines. A wonderfully pleasant environment to while away the time. I will deeply saddened to leave. Exactly what a pub should be.

H. L.

Went in around Christmas time and the beautiful Victorian bar was more amazing than usual with decorations and lights. I love the chandelier. The drinks are ok too! Decent ale selection.

A. C.

Great atmosphere! Staff are amazing and the food/drink is top draw

J. B.

The pub was warm and cosy, loved the atmosphere, and the pies were amazing!

t. b.

Enjoyed the fish and chips, others enjoyed their pies. Really nice venue. Beer selection could have been a bit more adventurous 🙂

N. M.

Enjoyable evening. Food was excellent and the service both courteous and professional. My wife, who is disabled, felt extremely comfortable and for once relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble... Not that we were. Lovely atmosphere to enjoy a nice evening together.

S. M.

Lovely old Victorian pub. Staff are all very friendly and attentive, especially Tom. The food is always excellent, with a good choice on the menu and reasonably priced. Can’t fault it.

S. C.

Lovely afternoon spent in this beautiful Victorian pub very friendly staff food was delicious and reasonably priced had club sandwich and chunky chips very good for the cost huge range of beers wine and spirits. Will definitely visit again next time in Birmingham.

D. G.

What a find. Picture perfect example of your traditional pub. Wonderfully ornate high ceiling interior. Great range of well-kept cask ales. Easy going atmosphere and nice clientele. What's not to like.

P. B.

It's just ok. Had sausage and mash in a Yorkshire pudding and a couple of pints. Food was not great. Yorkshire pudding was rock hard, sausages were cheap but I was hungry so I did eat it. I only went there because it looked like a good ol traditional pub.

A. B.

Great pub, good food and a brilliant atmosphere. Loved the old style decor as it really fit in with the building. The staff were helpful and communicative. I would go back there anytime I'm in Central Birmingham.

s. r.

Love this pub. Good choice of real ales mainstream lagers and ciders. It looks really small but walk round the side of the bar and there are several rooms in the back. Also a beer garden and smoking areas. Reminds me of alot of London pubs.

K. K.

Very good food and service

s. w.

Had a lovely afternoon at this beautiful old Victorian pub. Staff were friendly and relaxed. Food was so good..their speciality pies. Would recommend a visit!

D. D.

Friendly, traditional, local pub..

J. H.

Sweet little pub just outside of the town hall. Pop in after shopping at the Christmas market for a hot chocolate like we did. Would have been even better if we had biscuits with the hotty chocolate too!

s. a. f.

It's a nice place for a beer. It's quiet and have a Victorian decor.

L. M.

Food tasted great, only wish there was more of it! Had a huge plate of fries and a small portion of chicken. But homemade BBQ sauce was to die for!

B. J.

Lovely “proper” pub with all the required various rooms and snugs, and excellent range of real ales, etc. Promising menu but Food a bit over microwaved so dropped a star. But v good overall.

S. B.

Decent little boozer with friendly staff and a funny clientele seemingly. Not bad for a starter or stop off drink on your way to or from the city centre from the local Ibis Styles.

M. B.

First time we visited this place and what a lovely pub it turned out to be. Had a great meal, good value and served quickly by very pleasant staff. If you are looking for an interesting 'Victorian Pub' away from the hussle and bussle you couldn't do any better than this quaint and interesting place. Next time we are in Birmingham we will definately make for here.

C. W.

Cracking little pub walked straight out the hotel into this place before heading up to broad street and then onto the arena. Bar staff friendly service great . Well worth visiting again

S. H.

The 5 stars is just for one particular member of staff called Kayleigh. After a confusion about a group booking, she organised some tables to be made free and was professional and courteous throughout. The pub itself is probably a 4 star as its a bit cramped and the food was quite nice.

S. P.

Good atmosphere, nice selection of food and a half decent selection of real ales the only reason this is four stars is that when I went only one person was serving and we ended up going to the bar next door then going back an hour or so later when more staff were on.

W.

Dog friendly pub. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

G. M.

Great pub with great atmosphere and drinks, food is also very good and service is great as well, nice place to come and socialise with your friends, can get very busy on a friday night as inside isn't very big but dont let that put you off, plus they have a beer garden which is great for the summer months.

M. T.

OK, service was a bit hit and miss, realise with lockdown it's difficult, but was ignored by one of the bar staff

A. F.

Old fashion English Pub located on Summer Row. The pub itself is very comfortable, airy with big arched windows and plenty of light. Food was really tasty. We ordered the soup of the day and the mixed ocean fish and chips followed by the sticky toffee pudding. Quick and friendly service although I have to say we were the only people having lunch. Their menu is extensive and I will definitely go back to try some more. Highly recommended.
