We called in here by chance whilst visiting family in Bristol. We were welcomed at the bar and shown a table as we were looking to have a meal as well as a drink. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and kept us laughing with their chat as they took our order and brought our drinks. Overall we were treated like special guests and all of us enjoyed our meals very much. There is a great menu to suit all tastes and the staff are professional and enthusiastic. A very positive visit that deserves a good review. Well worth a try if you are in the area. We will definitely return.

A little gem of a place in Bristol! We travel to Bristol every few months for a weekend out, we've been to many bars around the area but found this one to be the best. Good food - if you like both British and Indian dishes - fully recommend both :) Friendly service with a smile and chat. Plus on the last visit, my son lost his passport and wallet, the bar found it and returned it to us in recorded delivery ! Thanks!

This pub apparently has loads of history and from the outside you get a sense of this, but once inside you could be anywhere. It’s a shame none of the old features have been preserved or any obvious reading material on the background displayed. Otherwise it’s a decent enough pub with some really friendly bar staff. There’s a whole other section at the rear of the building, so if it looks busy when you enter persevere, as it’s a nice place for a drink.

The vegan breakfast is the same as the regular breakfast without egg, bacon and black pudding yet costs more. How can this be? Surely the extra cost of the vegan sausage is less than the cost of egg, 2 bacon and black pudding? It feels like vegans are being ripped off as usual.

Popped into the ‘Ye Shakespeare’ for a drink before a gig mainly because I had been a barman there 44 years ago and I wanted to see how much it had changed. Staff were very friendly. Beer was excellent- well looked after (Bath Ales - Gem). We weren’t stopping to eat but the menu looked extremely good. All sorts of Indian dishes that I had not seen before. Looked really authentic. If you want to watch TV sport and enjoy a good Indian meal there may not be a better place in Bristol. The ‘Pint and a starter’ deal looked really good if you only want a snack. I will be back!!!

Well, is it an old pub? Yippee. Do you buy beer there? You buy. Does it have atmosphere? It doesn't have. The pub is run by management from India, offers fine food, but the place suffers from being a cross between a pub and an Indian diner.

The oldest pub in Bristol with Indian food :o) And it's called Ye Shakespeare. Interesting combination! I'm not a beer drinker so I won't say anything about the beer, but the Pino Grigio was well chilled and the food was good. It could be crispier and less chewy. Very friendly service, taking care of customers' comfort.

Went here for a drink a couple of years ago, beer selection was poor with no local ales, and what i did drink tasted poor. I went again yesterday for a pint and although the range has improved a little with a bath ales gem on tap, there weren't any other local beers on tap. Food selection looked good. I had the beavertown neck oil and although it tasted crisp, it had a weird back taste. I reported this to the staff who were very quick to provide a reason and told me it was a new barrel but didnt offer anything else. So i left the remaining beer and went. Totally not worth it for an overpriced £6 beer. Why are they charging so much for a mass produced beer?, they arent special beers or an ale specialist so i can only conclude they are cashing in on transient workers and tourists passing to the station. Considering this is a heritage pub it doesn't have the quality or range it deserves. I didnt go back for a couple of years and although gave it a second chance, i was reminded why. Go next door to the Kings head instead.

What a lovely gem! Popped in for a quick drink on Tuesday early evening not realising it offered Indian cuisine. Booked a table for Wednesday night. What a lovely meal. My wife had chicken korma and I had prawn biryani, absolutely lovely. The “gem” beer was one of the best bitters I’ve tasted and I’ve been a beer drinker for many many years. I would thoroughly recommend this venue for good beer and excellent Indian food. We wished we lived nearer to experience this lovely food.

I stopped here for lunch today after hearing good things about their Indian food menu. I ordered a chicken chattinad, lamb vindaloo with a saag paneer side and a pilau rice washed down with a pint of Inch's Cider. The food was really tasty.....as good, if not better, than food I've eaten at Indian restaurants in Bristol. The team on duty were all super friendly and helpful and gave excellent recommendations on the menu choices. As well as being super tasty, the food was also very reasonably priced. So if you're looking for really authentic tasting Indian curries in a pub environment, then head down to Ye Shakespeare.....you won't be disappointed!

Questa sera, al ritorno da Bath dopo una cena da dimenticare, ci siamo fermati qui per prendere una birra nell'attesa che smettesse di piovere. Il ragazzo indiano al banco è stato abbastanza gentile. La mia Guinness gelata andava giù come l'acqua perché era molto fredda come piace a me, ma di base era una normalissima Guinness che, come è ovvio che sia, è uguale dappertutto. I prezzi delle birre mi sono sembrati elevati, poco meno di sette sterline l'una. Ma sono appena arrivato nel Regno Unito da dove manco da un po', e quindi non sono proprio aggiornato sui prezzi.
