A large, modern pub, but with several different sections. It was quiet on the Saturday evening that I went, so I would say a good place for a quiet pint and maybe a neighbourhood pub. A reasonable selection of beers.

Popped in on a Friday lunchtime, as with many City pubs, it was quiet. The Shakespeare is a fantastic stylish and cosy pub. It is the the most Northern pub in the City of London and well worth a visit.

🚇 Barbican 🍺 £6.70 Moretti ❤️ A brutalist Barbican boozer. The Shakespeare sits on a corner of a crescent of shops and flats at the front end of the Golden Lane Estate EC1. The nearest Tube is Barbican which is only a two minute walk. The Shakespeare was built in 1964 and is Grade II listed. The name is inspired by the Bard himself, who lived some hundred metres away throughout his time in London. The is a one bar pub with a comedy club in the basement. The bar is set out in almost a “H” shape with the servery on the left hand side as you walk in. Even though this pub is traditionally decorated, due to the architecture of the building it does feel modern in here. The seating is a mix of elongated leatherette banquettes, a few poser tables and traditional tables and chairs. Around the walls are gold framed Elizabethan era repro portraits, mirrors and chalkboards with promotions. The beer choice was a straightforward selection of keg beers and ciders. I opted for a Moretti, decent enough pint but a bit pricey for this lager. There is a simple eclectic food menu comprising of Burgers, pasta and Toasties, a Ham & Cheese Toastie cost £5.95. I arrived around 4.30pm on a sunny Friday afternoon in July. The pub was fairly quiet as Fridays in the city are not as busy as they once was. There were a few punters sat inside, the majority were sat outside enjoying the summer sun and watching the world go by. The service here was excellent, the Guvnor is a bit of a character, he was jovial and set an upbeat tone. @theshakespearebarbican is not the most handsome of boozers you’ll come across and almost has an estate pub feel. I enjoyed my visit here primarily due to the pub’s location and sitting outside watching the comings and goings around the Barbican. This pub is worth a look of you’re in the area. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 07.07.23

Decent atmosphere at this establishment but everything is overpriced. Didn’t try the food but they had several options and vegan stuff too if that’s your thing. Free wifi, great decor. A good place for a drink before or after a Barbican event.

Delyse A Huntley the mother of the lease holder of The Shakespeare pub, obstructing our garage yesterday with her car without apologizing made a awful racist comment when she was told to move her car. ‘MOVE AWAY AND GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY’ is the most racist, disgusting comment I have heard since I’m living here in the UK. Especially by the pub owners! This is racial abuse and will be taking further. If I knew, they are RACIST I would never spend a penny for a pint here! Don’t recommend going there. Spread the word!!! We have two witnesses that were emptying out Garage number 12 and they heard the whole thing. Disgusting!!!

Where to begin. £6 a pint! Confusing layout. Below standard decor. Incredibly basic outdoor seating. The toilets were filthy! Both my female friend and I (a male) had equally awful experiences. I have honestly seen better quality Wetherspoons. Do not come here. The only saving grace is the adorable black cat that lives in the pub.

This is actually the worst pub I've ever been to in London (and I live near Wood Green!!!) When I walked into the pub, I noticed that unlike other pubs there was no table service so you had to go to the bar (we're still in a pandemic babes). There was also no social distancing at all. A pint costs EIGHT POUNDS!!! I also ordered a burger and not only was it the worst burger I've ever had (even the member of staff who brought it to my table looked disgusted!) It was also served with READY SALTED CRISPS. I took one bite of the burger and left the rest. Having epilepsy and having not eaten all day because I'd assumed I'd grab dinner with drinks, I was not only disappointed but also scared that I'd have a seizure. Luckily there's a Tesco Express nearby so I was able to grab a sandwich after. I then used the toilet and my cubicle had a hole in the wall. Someone had stuck a frame around it so clearly, the staff found the recent demolition hilarious. The staff were also extremely hostile towards me and I felt extremely uncomfortable and as a black woman who was on her own before her friend came to meet her, I felt very unsafe. I will never ever go to the place and would also never recommend it to my worst enemy

We went for the Tuesday comedy night and had an amazing time, its a very intimate setting and we got to hear a lot of different comedians, you felt a part of the group honestly as it was very conversational and they included the audience but didn't embarrass us or anything.

Had a great evening for the Scotland - England game. May not have been the case if it hadn't been for the owner who quickly came to the rescue folkowing the behaviour of the Italian manager who was completely unhelpful, arrogant and rude. For context, we booked a table for 6 people ahead of the game only to be told we weren't on the record despite having the booking confirmation. This happened to another 2 groups who we spoke to as well. The manager mentioned above done nothing to rectify the situation and quite frankly dismissed us as if we were children. The owner quickly came to the rescue, and simply offered us another table. An easy fix made so much more difficult by someone with a clear power trip issue. Cheers to the Owner and rest of the staff who were brilliant on the night.

It seems to be a decent enough pub but we went the first day after November lockdown, 2nd December 2020, called beforehand to check they were open and told yes but you have to have a substantial meal, we arrived and asked for the menu to be told there was a choice of 2 different soups, this is NOT A SUBSTANTIAL MEAL, the staff were friendly, but £33+ for 4 pints and 2 bowls of soup which were nice is pretty expensive and not what we expected.

Ci rechiamo nel pub per mangiare del cibo british come scritto fuori ma il cuoco non c'era,solo italiano. Chiediamo una zuppa specificando l' allergia ai piselli e arriva una zuppa che visibilmente li presenta, segnalato il problema si scusa dicendo che il cuoco era diverso dal solito. Per riparare al danno ci offre la zuppa e i dolci, le torte di mele che ci arrivano sono ghiacciate in punta e crude all'interno. Sconsigliato vivamente.

I had just eaten and as I was leaving I saw a rat or what appeared to be a rat running past the door or the entrance. I complained about it but was just told it was probably the pub cat but the pub cat was on the chair at the other side of the pub. So basically I was told I must be seeing things which is very unprofessional. I asked for the owner or manager and they said they was the owner a middle aged bald man.

Had some issues with service charge. We went to the bar ourselves to order our food and drinks and carry our own drinks back to the table. We were then charged service charge on our receipts without being told that this was being added on. When a couple of people from our table went back to dispute this, they were interacted with in a very uncomfortable way. The staff then "joked" that we would have to collect our food from the bar ourselves and then even "joked" again that they wouldn't even give us cutlery. The whole atmosphere was very uncomfortable. As someone who used to work in hospitality, I would never have dreamt of reacting like this to a customer. Pizzas were pretty tasty and a great size but the staff really ruined the experience for us. We won't be coming back.

I recommend this restaurant which is really located in a very nice place. The decoration is on point. The servers are very helpful and very attentive. The only downside is that depending on certain dishes, the quality is not there. And second point, we were all served out of time... and this is a big downside for me. On the other hand, for the children we had colored pencils and a coloring hat which allowed them to wait!
