Strongers . left this review about The Shrewsbury Hotel (JD Wetherspoon)
The Shrewsbury Hotel is hard to miss in its central location behind a tarmacked front with lots of multicoloured patio furniture that has views of the passing town traffic over a waist high brick wall. The interior is L-shaped with a mix of furniture across the front and up the left-hand side. A long L-shaped serving counter runs across the rear where two banks of six hand pumps are supported, the usual three were available alongside Ludlow Brewing’s Blonde and Black Knight as well as Phoenix Brewery’s Wobbly Bob. While waiting for a decent pint of Blonde I heard someone order a Bobbly Wob, which made me chuckle more than it should have. It’s not great in here and the cask options are less than the other Spoons up the road, but this is still the better option.

Brainy Pool left this review about The Shrewsbury Hotel (JD Wetherspoon)
This riverside Spoons is extremely popular with much more kerb appeal than its Lloyds counterpart, and was absolutely impossible to find a table on our Friday and Saturday afternoon visits. Average ale selection but a nice enough traditional interior. But ultimately there are much better pubs in Salop and I couldn’t wait to leave.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Shrewsbury Hotel (JD Wetherspoon)
Large building close to the Welsh Bridge, housing a fairly unremarkable 'spoons and a Wetherspoon hotel. Standard-issue furniture and décor in a variety of seating areas, with a large patio beer garden at the front. Busy in the early evening, but the bar and kitchen staff seemed efficient and tables were cleared in a timely fashion. Duplicated selection from the two banks of six handpumps on this first revisit since 2015: Ruddles, Doom Bar and Abbot plus Exmoor's Skip Intro, Butcombe Brewers Strength Original and the beer festival Germain hazy lager from Brouwerij de Bock (£2.69).
