Relax in a Georgian riverside inn
Serving thirsty and hungry travellers and locals in Bristol since 1777, The Shakespeare is a Grade II listed former Georgian mansion on Prince Street. It was designed by celebrated architect John Strachan in 1722 and first housed a merchant family before converting into a dockside inn. Step inside and step back in time, enjoy a hearty meal, refreshing pint of beer or glass of wine, and some of the city's relaxing, family-friendly ambience in our beer garden.
