Swan Theatre Bar in Stratford-on-Avon

Entramos solo para echar un vistazo rápido, pero disfrutamos de una taza y un pastel en la cafetería de la planta baja. Los muebles estaban un poco gastados, pero todos los demás aspectos eran una delicia. Grandes pasteles que incluyen opciones veganas. ?

Agradable bar agradable con un personal agradable y una selección relativamente buena de bebidas. Podría imaginarse que estaría muy ocupado vendiendo actuaciones, lo que puede ser un problema ya que el servicio era bastante lento y no había una gran cantidad de asientos disponibles.

Un bar realmente eficiente y fácil de usar. Un buen lugar para tomar una copa antes del teatro. Se puede llenar y el servicio un poco lento en las horas punta.

De vez en cuando nos metemos en este bar en el RSC, lo bueno es que no es necesario que veas una presentación para usarla. También tienen un restaurante en la azotea y un bar que es aún mejor!

Buen vino y servicio en una buena ubicación, especialmente si visita el teatro o viaja a través de Stratford - upon - Avon

With three members of staff working behind the counter, and one customer being served, we waited several minutes without being acknowledged at all. When we asked for sandwiches we were told to ‘wait a moment’ and when we pointed out that the tone of this was rude and that we had been waiting a long time, were told sanctimoniously that ‘civility works both ways.’ A lot of aggravation for a powdery dry sandwich.

We really could not understand how these poor young men were left to manage this bar by themselves. The place was messy and not inviting. We saw a lady come in and check on them, then immediately left without offering any help. Is the RSC so strapped for cash that they allow this world class venue, historic venue become so amateurish and stressed.

Lovely Cafe at the Shakespeare Theatre, really enjoyed tea and choice of cakes before a matinee show. Would fully reommend.

Went up early evening for a drink on the terrace, lots of empty chairs and tables they said we could not sit out on the terrace, we explained we only wanted a drink as we had a show to get to ourselves nope, no way would they let us, not impressed at all would not return, bar staff not helpful at all

We hopped in for a coffee on our way out of town. The décor is set off by some very interesting artefacts and historical notes - didn't really rate the coffee though.

This is at the secondary entrance to the RSC Building. Whilst there was a limited selection of menu we thoroughly enjoyed Tea and Scones. Inexpensive given where it is. Worth a visit.

Good and convenient before watching a play. The cafe has a several picture frames on the wall and one of them was a head moving william shakespeare.

Good place to chill at interval and to absorb brilliant and shocking bloody performance of The Duchess of Malfi!

Easily missed as most people use main RSC entrance and don't walk though the shop towards the Swan Theatre. Coffee is a bit hit and miss in terms of strength and quality and the selection of cakes and biscuits is fairly limited. During the day you can guarantee getting a table but it is busy when performances are on at the Swan Theatre. Worth at least one visit to look at the architecture and artefacts.

Lovely and quiet away from the Riverside café but they do have cakes on display which are not covered; ditto Riverside café. Simply not hygienic!

Dropped in for pre-theatre drinks & to order some for the interval. For the number of people waiting for drinks the service was good, not taking to long to serve people waiting. Our interval drinks were ready & waiting for us on the table beside the bar. The drinks were in glasses which meant as we were taking them into the theatre I had to transfer them into paper cups.

Great place for a snack or quick beer, surrounding by theater history - both in the building itself and displays in the space.

We popped in the Swan Theatre Bar for drinks prior to the performance of Antony and Cleopatra - nice atmosphere with good service.

open most of the bay and a nice place for a drink with friends even if not at the thatre with friends

Este es un íntimo, cómodo bar/café y ubicación de snack. No llenar antes de una producción así que llegue temprano para asegurar un asiento. Si completa, se puede utilizar el bar y el restaurante, etc. en el otro extremo del edificio que está asociado con...

Es un sitio perfecto para tomar un té o un refresco antes de entrar al teatro, o cuando hace un día soleado.

Este bar parece muy agradable e interesante. Está situado dentro de la Swan Theatre, así que se puede disfrutar fácilmente y rápido cualquier bebida en el descanso de jugar. Las personas son muy amables y simpáticos, me sugirieron qué probar para probar y las bebidas...

Un bar pequeño y encantador en el que disfrutar de una pre-teatro o intervalo de beber. Asientos cómodos, interesantes artefactos diseminados por el teatro. Si tienes prisa, el servicio es un poco lento, y los precios (especialmente para refrescos) un poco en el lado de...

Si tratta di un locale posto all'interno del teatro, gode di una vista panoramica molto bella sul fiume e c'è la possibilità di fruire di una terrazza all'aperto (a febbraio sicuramente sconsigliata). Buona la qualità della cucina; i prezzi in liena con gli altri ristoranti di Stratford.

We like this bar for a drink both before a performance and during an interval. The service is perhaps a little slow sonf the process a little on the high side but it is always friendly and cosy.

Went to the theatre and arrived for a pre drink. Stake were very polite and service was quick despite being very busy. A little expensive but this is the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

Generous helpings and well staffed.Comfortable and good views of the town. Tried spotting someone famous without success

We stopped here a couple of time for a sandwich, cakes and coffee. Nice location overlooking the river Cakes are excellent - they taste like home made.

Nice atmospheric bar with good well mannered staff. Drinks a tad more expensive than your local but this is the theatre darling. Maybe a tad understaffed during the interval of a show as the queue was out the door and had to wait a while to be served.

My husband and I had a delicious pre theatre meal in this restaurant. Good and fast service. I would certainly recommend it and we shall go back there when we are next at the Swan theatre.

A delightful place which is part of the ambiance of RSC Stratford: sadly disappointed with warm white wine, as were a number of people. We will and must return and hope it improves - the price is steep, which is no surprise but quality was, on this occasion was lacking

The atmosphere is always nice here but this September (2015) the bar was closed for renovations. However, they did have a temporary bar set up for pre-theatre drinks. The bar staff is always friendly and prices are very reasonable.

worth going up to the third floor bar -lovely views with a balcony. quieter than everywhere else in town.

Since renovation is currently taking place at the Swan the bar is at a temporary location and therefore not very convenient

Nice lively bar. You can walk outside on a hot summer's night. Pre order your interval drinks. Quick, friendly service. We found all the theatre staff so charming. The sense of anticipation before the performance is tangible. Programmes are only £4 and full of fascinating insight.

The Swan theatre bar has much more character than the RSC theatre bars. The downside is that it is smaller and gets quite crowded during intermissions.

Given that theatre times are immovable you must expect it to be crowded. The staff try hard to meet the demand from a multi cultural audience with wide variations of expectation. Charges are not out of line with theatres, which are never a bargain, but it is a special occasion so enjoy.

We visit the theatre every year; this time we saw the Merchant of Venice - Brilliant performance!Order interval drinks before you go in for the performance as they get overwhelmed by the numbers of drinkers at busy times.Good selection of gins and tonics, which we always have, and very good service from the staff.

Another favorite of mine i would like my lounge designed on this room love reading the paper here with a coffee and a piece of cake the most reasonable in Town,Wonderful at Christmas by the fire with an enormous Christmas Tree

Not a good start to the evening The bars in the theatre have no atmosphere, staff with no interest and poor wines. What a shame. A little effort wouldn't go amiss. It was rather like having a drink in a bus station.

There are very few tables and chairs in this bar. I'm not sure why as there is plenty of room. The tables are not serviced either. It felt more like a platform waiting room. Shame as I would have thought most people would like to enjoy a pre-theatre drink.

We had coffee which was served in paper cups and somewhat overpriced. The service was quick and efficient.

Lovely restuarant and a great view over the river, food excellent and very reasonable. Good local inspired food and free sparking water.

Very handy place to eat when visiting the theatre.Overlooking the Avon, very good food and for £25ish for three course with a glass of wine.......................well priced as Stratford is an expensive touristy town.Have a meal, walk along the river then see amazing acting....................nice treat.

We thought we would treat ourselves to a nice afternoon tea. Glad we did, as we knew we didn't have to go over the top but could share an afternoon tea for one, without any bother.One each was too much, but we did order extra tea, This also came with complimentary water (nice touch).It was lovely, good cake selection and loads of clotted cream for the scones. Service good and pleasant staff. Good value for the money. Lovely views too. Service tip included in bill

Lovely bar, not overpriced (considering its a theatre), good coffee and cake, nice sweets as well as the alcohol. Friendly staff and comfy seating with exhibitions on the wall and a chance to chat with other theatregoers. Really intended for those attending the theatre, especially the Swan, but if you're passing its worth popping in for a quiet drink anyway

Most delightful addition to your visit to the RSC if you get the time. Obliging staff, comfortable seating and interesting decor !

This is a great bar in a beautiful part of the building. I just love it. It is open after the evening performances which the other bars are not.

We enjoyed a wonderful Hendricks Gin and Tonic with cucumber as a pre-theatre drink. Nice relaxed atmosphere but perhaps a little more seating would be useful. The Shakespearean "insult chair" raised a few smiles.
