Shakespeare Tavern

The Shakespeare is a rather infamous pub in these parts, considered to be a sort of lounge/piano bar it is just a well decorated large pub witha  long bar set down in the heart of it and some stairs to the right leading downstairs and to the toilets. The music in here is varied, its starts off quiet and cheesy early in the evening but gets more modern and serious and loud later on. Pints in here at a standard £3 each and its a good pub if you decide perhaps one of the holes beside Victoria station are not to your liking. Due to the size you are always likely to be able to find a seat but unfortunately it really pulls the tourists too. Downsides? Well the place is large but it is made up of lots of small room and nooks that making getting lost quite the possibility, there is also a wait at the bar and the staff are not particularly friendly, shots are also expensive at around £3 a piece.

Overall, it wasn’t the champion of bars and it didn’t even have the character of one, its a large expensive pub with available seating but I can’t endorse any aspect of it so an average 5/10.
