A Surry Hills local since 1879.

Fresh on tap: Asahi Super Dry. 🍺
Crisp, dry and refreshing with that signature quick, clean finish. A very welcome new addition to the taps at The Shakespeare.
And seeing as it’s Thursday, settle in for Frites Thursday from $30 — steak, duck or salmon with fries. Make it $35 with a glass of w**e or schooner of b**r.
Then stick around for Badge Draw from 6pm, now up to $1,000.
Thursday at The Shakespeare, sorted.

A Wednesday at The Shakespeare could look a little something like this…
A $20 lunch from our weekday menu.
An arvo b**r in the Front Bar - Happy Hour 4-6pm
A shot at a Meat Tray, prizes or the $2,900 Joker Poker jackpot from 6pm.
Then $35 Pie & W**e Wednesday for dinner.
Not a bad Wednesday, if you ask us. 🍺

Friday lunch has a habit of turning into Friday afternoon around here.
Settle in with the Barramundi & Prawn Fishcakes with celeriac rémoulade, or Panfried Calamari with garlic, chilli & parsley. Add a drink, lose track of the time… you know how Fridays go.
And from 5–7pm, Friday Spritz is on — $14 Aperol, Hugo or Limoncello Spritz. 🍹
