Shakespeares, Sheffield

Strongers . left this review about Shakespeares

The walls of Shakespeares are caked in old beer signs and the most pump clips I think I’ve seen in one place. The central U shaped serving counter faces banquette seating to the front, flagstone floored seating in the left front where a grandfather clock also resides, and a couple of small areas at the rear, one with high tables and the other with sofas. I ended up sitting in a long seating area in the right rear next to a dartboard, an old style jukebox and some portable cask dispensing units. There’s a lot going on in here, including a bit of stained glass that I took the time to note down for some reason. I counted seven hand pumps on the counter, which concurred with a board up on the wall that listed the house cask as Abbeydale’s Deception and the guests as Big Trip Brewery’s Eat Sleep Drink Repeat, Byatt’s Phoenix Gold, Liquid Light Brewing’s Less Dangerous, Blue Bee Brewery’s Hillfoot, Moorhouse’s Witches Cauldron and North Riding Brewery’s Parkin Porter. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was good and I enjoyed my pint.
