House of Grain in Shropshire

Best place in Shrewsbury, amazing selection and reasonable prices.

Lovely cocktails & beer on draft. Friendly staff & reasonable prices

Lovely spot to relax after a dog walk. Great selection of beers.

Spent a very pleasant afternoon here Saturday 5th October. The staff were great and the beer ( I opted for Salopian Oracle) was excellent and reasonably priced. Great selection of beers to choose from too but the Oracle was so good I stuck with Didn't try any food so can't comment on that. Definitely recommended if you're looking for somewhere to enjoy a nice relaxing pint.

Great selection of beers, with always new, interesting things to try. Very friendly service and super dog friendly.

Sat out in the sun and drank, wide range of 0% options which helped as one of us was driving and I'm sober. DREAMY DAY

Time to have a drink after a walk and our first stop is awesome because of serving great selection of ales and superb atmosphere. It was full packed so use outdoor seating which wasn't bad. Had great time and laugh there. Service was good.

Very quiet when we were there but looked a good place. Staff very pleasant. Will be back.

Very good atmosphere and friendly, good staff. Good selection of drinks

Bit on the pricey side but a great beer selection and lovely cosy atmosphere. One of the best places to drink something different in Shrewsbury.

It must be 30 years since i visited this place, i think it was called something else then. Big disappointment is probably down to me, a drifting, noisy place, i think i may be too old now. Star of a dog at the next table

Superb beer and friendly service

Modern bar, with a large screen, a couple of ales available, good bench seating, with an upstairs seating area too.

Stopped in while passing for a glass of wine. It was shockingly expensive.

Really lovely place, great selection of drinks & we enjoyed a tasty pie for lunch

I've visited this place regularly. Lovely chilled place to have a drink. Lovely staff. Comfortable seating. I'm definitely returning to support this great place. RJJ

Family and dog friendly. Amazing lineup of craft ales which change regularly and great deal on cocktails of 2 for £13 which is handy...especially as a student. Always a nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great choice of alcohol and friendly staff.

Lots of choice of ales and cocktails, atmosphere was nice! Worth a check in on a cheeky day out

Had drinks outside, 4 drinks came to £32 which I felt was a bit crazy. 2 long island iced teas, a pron star martini and an old fashioned. Despite the prices the staff were great, super friendly and on the ball.

Two cask and about 10 craft taps in a cool setting.

Great cocktails, atmosphere and prices.

Staff distracted, disinterested and borderline rude. Ignored initially when waiting at the bar to order drinks, which were over priced. Don't mind paying more for drink to sit somewhere with a nice atmosphere and good service, which is what I was expecting. Instead the music was too loud (for the afternoon), staff were too self involved and everything was a bit sticky, could do with with good clean.

Afternoon cocktails, 2 for £10! Great cocktails - well mixed and delicious. Friendly staff and relaxing environment. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent selection of craft beer.

Modern bar. Lively atmosphere. Unusual music.

Very impressed by the management skills of Jodie. She really catered for all our needs and is a credit to The House Of Grain. Highly recommend to anyone looking for Real/Craft ale and pizza in the Shrewsbury area

Been exploring Shrewsbury and found this spot as you enter the town, good selection of craft, cask and cans, and the space itself is really nice, alleyway suntrap outdoor seating and industrial reclaimed inside with booths and an upstairs via a cast iron spiral staircase.... Check it out

Absolutely loved this place, will definitely recommend and go back. Staff very helpful and friendly

Shrewsbury is probably the best town in England.

Great place for people watching while mulling over a pint of local ale

Great having the choice to sit outdoors or indoors, both pet friendly for our dog. Relaxed atmosphere and great staff.

Great time at house of grain this afternoon. Great drinks and very attentive service! Will definitely be back. Thanks!

Someone recommended this bar to us as being the one you cannot miss in Shrewsbury if you are a fan of craft ale ! When we arrived, not all the taps were marked up properly so we asked what they had and if they had any DIPA's on tap to which the lady that served us said - what is that ?? Never heard of that before! Oh dear, our expectations went down rapidly. Mediocre range of ales, not worth the walk! The staff were distracted, not engaging and despite us noticing that they did have some tempting beverages in the fridge, we were not inclined to stay for another!

Industrial layout, with an excellent selection of cask, keg, can and bottle. Only a flying visit, hope to spend more time soon

Loved it. Good beer and good atmosphere

Very nice and welcoming what a lovely bar manager really enjoyed our drinks highly recommended

We went upstairs service was a bit slow but outside seemed better

Service was great, but the music was too loud, so we couldn't chat.

Been here a few times and beer is consistently good and reasonable if you go for hand pulled. If you go for most of the rest overpriced and not that much better. Staff seem a bit hacked off in general and consequently lack conviction in their offer, which is a shame.

Good atmosphere, nice place for a beer

Always a relaxing fantastic atmosphere.

Service was slow sadly. Looked very nice tho.

Good drinks, atmosphere and not to expensive!

Great place to sit and watch the world go by good service and good price not expencive

Such a lovely bar with an amazing atmosphere! The staff were super friendly and helpful - I’m really glad we stopped in there for a few x

Awful bar, owner knocked over a pint of some lads and refused to reimburse him

Great place, enjoyed my substantial meal with a few craft beers. Staff super friendly and good covid procedures.

Very cozy little bar, great menu, great food and lovely atmosphere!

Popped out after a month of lockdown for a change of scenery and to support local businesses. House of Grain keeping it simple and had a great currywurst and fries for £4.50!- my other half had the vegan option and I sneeked in a scotch egg as well. Brilliant range of craft beers possibly not available anywhere else locally as well as a great cocktail list and home made mulled wine. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely clean facilities and great beer Oracle and iridescent, value for money.

Drinks were superb and George was fantastic, top knotch service! Thanks again 😁 excellent local knowledge

Perfect service and a great vibe even under lockdown restrictions. Prices aren't crazy either, so it didn't feel like we couldn't relax. Would highly recommend!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Lovely beers and cocktails

We visited the bar on a Tuesday evening so it was not too busy. A good choice of beers but a bit on the pricy side for a bar in Shrewsbury.

Good selection of beer and friendly staff, this is where we usually go to when in the area for a drink. Looking forward to my next visit.

The service was top notch, as was the quality of the food and drimk

Lovely staff. Great pint. Dirty table. 100+ db garage music from the naughties. 5* I'll let you off with the tardiness.

Nice coffee sat outside service ok.

Good friendly service decent selection of light bites and some excellent ales too. Friendly atmosphere and CV19 measures being observed.

Young vibe good drinks and tasty snacks

A pleasant late afternoon drink with pleasant staff.

Just ok , seemed a bit disorganized

Excellent service and fantastic atmosphere, the chicken wings were incredible

DO YOU enjoy being patronised by an ignorant self proclaimed pub manager ? LOVE being made as welcome as a bag of excrement ? IF THE ANSWER IS YES THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!! First visit here today simply appallingly rude behaviour by the self proclaimed manager . Full review of their Facebook page , we left without ordering . If this was my investment I would be looking at my staffing choices. I’m adding a picture of the place and the ignoramus concerned so you don’t make the mistake we did !! Avoid at all costs

Excellent beer, really helpful staff, good range of craft beers, wine and cocktails.... Will visit again!

Staff very helpfull, selection of drinks good and prices reasonable. The atmosphere was good and the staff seemed happy

Not eaten the food but the beer is amazing and the staff were inviting and friendly.

Great atmosphere and a great choice of beers! Staff ain't to shabby too ;)

Excellent place to chill on a Sunday afternoon

Came in on a Sunday for a bit of lunch, been in a few times before and I can never fault the place. Fantastic music and incredibly friendly staff who talk to you as if you’re one of their regulars. The beers on tap went down a treat with the wings! Well done.

This lace has loads of promise but fails to deliver. Looks lovely, nice atmosphere and tasty beers is let down by ‘floaty’ staff, over egged food and overpriced beer. I’ve been here a number of times and always going in rooting for the business. Unfortunately I’ve always been let down. From standing at an empty bar for 5 minutes waiting to be served (after gaining eye contact with staff multiple times who have stood there looking into the middle distance, or tapping at apps for no reason), to the poor/bizarre food options when you consider how much they charge (pulled bbq beef sold as a Sunday roast and not even ‘with a twist’, no wings on wing Wednesday, short rib sandwich that is mainly fat). Couple those two with overpriced beer and you are in for a treat (I had a can of craft are from a recent tap takeover that they sold for £10, more fool me as it was £2.50 direct from the brewery, I did not get £7.50 worth of atmosphere or service). A real shame as I wish it was good.

Tasty food and a wide range of drinks.

Excellent food and ambiance spot on... really enjoyed the experience

Music too loud!! Cold and uncomfortable seating like a school canteen. Glad they have a space to sit upstairs but not a good place to sit and chat tbh. I went in when there was a large drunken group of people between the door and bar, so traffic and sound levels were horrible. This may be a different experience on a different night.

Absolutely the best buttermilk chicken I've ever eaten. Not the sort of place I would have chosen, but got talked into going. So glad I did and will definitely be going back. x x

Went at the evening to have a beer and maybe something to eat. Place was empty on Saturday night whereas tall the rest of the pubs in town were packed. The place looked good, the beer range superb. The menu looked interesting and the pint we got was good as was the service. The lights were dim and the ambience nice but then the music destroyed it all. Were not young but come on, playing some gangster rap crap at full volume is not in keeping with what the place purports to be. We felt we ought to be dealing drugs not having a pint. We did not stay. It is a shame as it has great potential. Has we been comfortable we would probably been there for the night and spent a lot of money

Recommended by our daughter, we thought we'd give it a go for lunch in mid-January whilst in Shrewsbury for the day. On entry there was no-one else there. The first beer asked for had run out. The stars began to disappear. We sat at a table where we could watch the world go by. The attendant asked if I'd like to try another two beers. I agreed and chose the palest. It was citrusy and properly cloudy - 4.5% one pint would be enough. My wife had a very acceptable Malbec. Without being asked we were brought a bottle of tap water; another plus. Menus arrived and we chose. Breadcrumbed oyster mushrooms. Breaded fish goujons in tacos and a Halloumi wrap with fries. All food was freshly cooked and really delicious. The musak being played was a selection of Rap music. As we were the only people in the restaurant we asked if it could be changed. The attendant agreed and changed it to a more jazz/rock genre. The stars were back. The bill - 25% off for January; what a bonus!! Beer was £5.40 a pint, Malbec £4 a small glass. The restaurant is very close to the English Bridge. Highly recommended!

What a fantastic place. Great music, great small well cooked tapas type food, with interesting flavours and ingredients. The choice of alcoholic beverages is good, but the creme da creme are the staff.

Great selection of kraft beers, excellent waiter service, from Reuben and Declan. The House of Grain is well situated before going into the Town, it was busy but service was always prompt and attentive, in fact you could not get better. we will definitely be returning and actually have. I really hope this place continues to thrive.

Friendly pleasant staff. Good assortment of cocktails. Comfortable atmosphere.

We went for lunch. Upmarket sandwiches and burgers. Young warm atmosphere, nice staff. Very Shrewsbury!

Poor quality food. Well overcooked burger , taco’s were bland and disgusting. Disappointed. The vibe was decent in the venue though.

The food is very good and the staff are very friendly and polite the food was very hot and tasty

Delicious food with a great variety to choose from, caters for lots of dietary needs (we had a coeliac, vegetarian with us). There's an amaziing cocktail menu and a variety of craft ales and beers. You get what you pay for, it's worth a visit!

Friendly enough, nice coffee but could be more cosy

Simple review! Poor attitude of staff member who couldn’t listen to drinks order patiently then decided to hand gesture to other visitors of his frustration of blaming us for his inadequate human interaction! What an absolute donut! He became the laughing stock in the end! Avoid this place at all costs!!

Great tapas menu perfect for lunch

Excellent environment and service, great drinks and a refreshingly different menu of great stuff

We went for Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday. The food was excellent, well presented and much enjoyed. I had been before when I stayed in Shrewsbury for the weekend during which we went to the restaurant twice because we enjoyed the food so much. Parking was nearby and cheap on a Sunday.

Very Good, nice vibe and an excellent selection of beers

Found this place on Untappd. Tap take over by Wander Beyond Brewing. Some of the best beers we've had. Great service too. Loved the halloumi fries too.

This is a great place for craft beer. Lovely staff. Priced slightly high for Shrewsbury, but if you are a serious about beer, this is the place to go.

Very cool atmosphere and great interior.

Went on a saturday early evening. Food was good, not exceptional. Very noisy downstairs. Service a bit slow.

Excellent craft beer selection and a Yorkshire pudding wrap as a great accompaniment.

Visited here a few nights ago with girlfriends. Staff were very friendly and attentive and cocktails were inventive.However the mains were deconstructed and served in separate metal dishes on a metal tray. Cute idea but made for a disjointed main meal. Portions were tasty but tiny and not worth the price we paid. Fries were obviously a cheap frozen type.In addition we were all cold and had to put our coats back on half way through the meal. We left as soon a s we had finished our meal to go to a warmer place. Shame.

Great atmosphere,great gins,cocktails,beers and food. Really relaxed you can pop in for a drink a snack or 3 course meal. Really friendly staff.

We just popped in for a quick bite to eat and stayed all day! The menu is amazing, friendly staff , and the atmosphere is very inviting. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
