Brandi Farley WillfordNovember 16, 2014Fish 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 SheltonFebruary 16, 2014Try 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.
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.
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.
JJuly 1, 2021Atmosphere - 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 DameOctober 22, 2016Very good fish and chips. The portions are quite generous and the chips are perfect. Try the shandy.
Nici GNovember 10, 2016Monday Happy Hour, the $5 burger is a deal!! Order a side of fries to share w gravy or curry to dip it in.
christine morrisonMarch 30, 2014Quiz night is fun, last Sunday of the month. Bring a team of ppl of diff ages and interests if you want to win.
Olivia SmithJuly 3, 2011Ask 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 VarkeyDecember 21, 2012Good 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.
The banana blintz is to die for, and their scotch egg with chutney is spot on.

Steve NagerMay 11, 2013Try the Shephard's Pie Challenge! Eat three pies and a side salad in an hour and they're free!
Shannon HerlihyJanuary 16, 2011Great 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.
SoftubFebruary 20, 2012You can never go wrong with fish and chips--an English classic. Well, actually Irish, but just as good.
Joe POctober 29, 2010I have to agree that it does have a great atmosphere. Everything about this place is awesome. The prices are reasonable and the food is very good.

Matthew KrugerSeptember 23, 2010The 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 AMERICAJanuary 30, 20116 Nations Rugby Championship matches are shown here. Shakespeare's hosts quiz nights, shows soccer matches and is a home for San Diego anglophiles.
Saturday mornings are excellent - great convo with Julie - Somerset native. #summer
James O'KeefeSeptember 4, 2011Try the clam chowder. It is the best chowder on the west coast. "Its a party in my mouth"
Scott R.March 6, 2012Draft beer, on the deck outside, on a typically gorgeous San Diego sunny day. I think Colonel Pickering just shuffled by...
Hands down the only place in San Diego to watch football (soccer). Awesome atmosphere and great beers in draft!
Mark CApril 7, 2010Love the ambiance. Nice to see that most people who frequent this fine establishment are actually from the UK. Try the shepards pie:)
Enjoying some Newcastle Brown Ale and a Beef Wellington (my favorite beef dish) is on the way!!!!!!
- Full English breakfast! Best one i've found so far outside the UK. Read more
Jay CarterJune 12, 2010They are open bright and early for all the games. I am saying it is 4 am and they are open gotta love that.
RyanFebruary 26, 2010Have a full English breakfast at half time during an early morning English Premier League match. Liverpool v. Manchester United is always a blast at Shakespeare.
HecktorApril 27, 2018One of the worst meals ive had. Soggy burnt fries, dry bland peas and beer battered cod filet. Like eating cardboard. Waitress was super nice though
Steve JohnsonJanuary 25, 2010Get the Fish 'n Chips (dinner size), huge piece of fish, and even chips are awesome here.
