Shakespeare's Public House
Shakespeare's reopened in July 2011 as a traditional ale and cider house.
Shakespeare's is a real ale and music pub situated ideally between the city centre and Kelham Island. Now under new ownership and the management of Chris Bamford (formerly of the Harlequin) and Robin Baker (formerly of the Three Merry Lads), Shakespeare's hopes to establish itself as the place to go to find great beer, great music and great atmosphere!
With up to 9 real ales on draught, 6 imported international beers on draught, a bottled beer range that will top 50 and working towards a whisky range that should rival any in the city, plus other premium spirits, everyone should find something they like at Shakespeare's!
Thursday night is quiz night, and don't forget to check out the Bard's Bar upstairs for some of the finest music from around the city and beyond!

The pub formerly known as the Shakespeare Hotel on Gibraltar Street at West Bar reopened at the end of July 2011 as Shakespeare's. It now stocks a wide range of real ales, ciders and international beers.
-
The Shakespeare Hotel on Gibraltar Street at West Bar has closed down. It is not known if it has closed permanently, as a number of buyers are rumoured to be interested in taking over the real ale pub.

The complaint by Sue Underhay above about the lavatories was well-justified at the time but they have since been much improved.
It's one of my favourite watering holes having a good range of reasonably priced excellent beers and simple cheap sandwiches.
It is quite large so crowding is rarely a problem and the fact it is made up of several small areas means that it still feels cosy.

We visited the pub on the Sunday during the Sheffield folk festival.
The pub was full and the atmosphere was good, but the bar staff seemed be fed-up of being busy, and couldn't force a smile.
The main reason for my review was the toilets. The stench was overpowering, and that alone made our decision not to eat or stay for another drink. We had been to another two pubs involved in the festival and made our way to the Shakespeare to enjoy the beer garden, as it was a nice day.
It's a long time since we were in this pub, but I suggest the new owners really make this an urgent problem that should be addressed.

Great beer, even better bands, this place can rock!
