Brandi Farley Willford

Fish and chips !! I substituted beans for peas , and a side of curry sauce ! It tastes exactly as I remember from England! Well worth the trip, and defo worth the price.

Kellie Shelton

Try the scotch egg appetizer it is so good you have to try it!!! Kevin is having the steak and mushroom pie and I am having the Irish pasty . All the food is good here.

Arthur Mitchell

Lots of good memories here: 4:30am EPL games with my 10 year old daughter eating her English breakfast . Food is good but not excellent but the atmosphere is outstanding.

Tom Kain

Beer and traditional English pub food . That's all you need.

James

If you are a soccer fan and want the British feel, this is the place for you. Service is great and comes with a British accent, how cool is that? Parking sucks though unless you valet for $7.

Atmosphere - crowded to watch soccer . Trad Brit food. Not far from Washington Ave trolley so for those who want to drive park at a station and take the troller.

Jennifer Dame

Very good fish and chips . The portions are quite generous and the chips are perfect. Try the shandy.

Nici G

Monday Happy Hour , the $5 burger is a deal!! Order a side of fries to share w gravy or curry to dip it in.

Olivia Smith

Ask for the waitress named catherine if you have celiac disease! She is extremely friendly !! And will definitely make sure you don't get a hold of anything you shouldn't!!! Thanks so much cat!!!

John Varkey

Good atmosphere. Good fish and chips . Get the pork shank with buffalo sauce . Avoid the scotch eggs . They pre made and microwaved. Didn't even bother to finish.

Scott Pigman

Great vibe and setting. Parking can be a struggle but well worth it.

JuanEd Cabrera

The banana blintz is to die for, and their scotch egg with chutney is spot on.

Great place to watch football . Cider on tap ; good & spicy Bloody Mary 's. Zoa: super nice, sweet & attentive waitress . Breakfast sandwich on a roll: good but very small.

You can never go wrong with fish and chips--an English classic. Well , actually Irish, but just as good.

Great English breakfast and proper UK size pints

Matthew Kruger

The above review was intended for Princess Pub in little Italy. Shakespeare is the best british pub in SD hands down and is everything Princess is not.

BBC AMERICA

6 Nations Rugby Championship matches are shown here. Shakespeare's hosts quiz nights, shows soccer matches and is a home for San Diego anglophiles.

Amy Bosler

Grab a beer on the patio !

Kevin Jonson

The fish and chips live up to the reputation.

Teresa Henning

Saturday mornings are excellent - great convo with Julie - Somerset native. #summer

Try the clam chowder . It is the best chowder on the west coast. "Its a party in my mouth"

Tyler Tremelling

Try the Scotch Eggs ..!!! So good.!!

Draft beer , on the deck outside, on a typically gorgeous San Diego sunny day. I think Colonel Pickering just shuffled by...

Ask for chips crispy !
