The Coach & Horses, Shrewsbury

A traditional two bar pub with a wooden walled snug off the front bar. The front bar is all exposed brickwork, bare boards, quarry tile floor and Britannia tables. There is a venerable counter which is home to three pulls of ale, a cider pump and a small collection of keg founts, there is an open fire to the side and a notable collection of John Ireland’s “The gentle art of making Guinness” cartoons – probably the whole set. There is also a set of GBG stickers in one window dating from 1994 onwards. The back bar is similar, only two pulls and some keg founts, along with tables and chairs and with a food counter in one corner. The toilets are up a creaky twisting staircase where the walls show the age of the building.

Excellent pub, friendly staff, good range of beers. Big restaurant selling very good but pricey food. Carvery on Sunday's is a speciality. Bar menu better value, especially the hot carvery baps

Probally my favorite pub in Shrewsbury allways a good pint and the staff and locals very friendly , there is plenty of exposed brickwork and lots of the amussing Gentle Art of Making Guiness pictures spread around the walls . There is a good choice of beer Wye Valley HPA , Salopian Shropshire Gold ,3Tuns XXX ,Sadlers Mellow Yellow and Shropshire Brewery Shropshire County plus a couple of real ciders . The pub is in a quite area just off the town centre but could be miles away , very relaxing , a Shrewsbury pub not to miss
