Quinno _ left this review about Shakespeares
A real old skool pub, the multi-room interior of which is a bit beaten but holds a fair amount of charm with a lot of old heritage features including Wards’ stained glass windows and a hundredweight of breweriana. Seven cask over seven pumps - not quite the home run as I was anticipating, my My Silent Brew Banshee was par (NBSS 3) and Mrs Quinno’s Three Blind Mice keg was flat, either through age or over-venting. Mixed bag. I’ll try it again for sure as I want it to click.

Old Boots left this review about Shakespeares
One of the outstanding pubs in the Kelham Island area and certainly a don’t miss venue. Multi-roomed and eclectic it is adequately described in the previous reviews. On a recent Saturday afternoon visit the only down side was the family friendly nature of the place, plenty of pushchairs cluttering the place up but no screaming from the punters small or adult so it’s a minor point and the quality and range of the beer means it can be forgiven. The apostrophe problem can also be overlooked, it’s sometimes referred to, by Camra and on the pub’s sign as “ale & cider house”.

Will Larter left this review about Shakespeares
I first came here in 1999 when I was working nearby and popped in when on a break. This was after Wards Brewery had closed and there was only keg beer available. It has much improved since then, with a beer offering that is among the most eclectic in Sheffield, and that's saying something. Also eclectic would be the furniture, with normal bench seating in the front bar room, and various repurposed benches, tables and even barrels elsewhere. The garden, more a yard and stable block, is popular, and there's a function room upstairs. The pool table is upstairs too. Sadly, the vintage juke box is defunct - every time it is repaired it breaks down again, so it is now just decorative.
