What's On

Two quiz nights a week, a different special every night, monthly pairing dinners and a room that's yours if you want it.

Quiz Nights

For those who outshine
the dullest spoon
in the drawer

Thursdays and Sundays, 7pm to 9pm. Teams of one to six. Free to enter, and a different host and theme every time — from General Knowledge to Star Trek to the English Premiership.

A word to the wise: by 6pm it's usually a packed house. Get here early, put your team name on the list at the bar, and order the first round while you wait.

A dinner pairing night at the Shakespeare Pub

Dinner Pairings

A night with
the brewers

Every so often we clear the tables, lay them properly, and put on a sit-down dinner where every course is matched to something from the bar.

Past nights have run with Guinness, Tennent's, Old Speckled Hen and Bitburger — sometimes with the brewery's own people hosting. Tickets are limited to the number of seats in the room, and they go quickly.

Private Hire

Birthdays, wakes,
leaving dos and
watch parties

We've hosted all of them, and a fair few weddings-adjacent occasions besides. Tell us the date, roughly how many, and what you'd like on the table — we'll do the rest.

  • The patio deck or a section of the main room, depending on numbers
  • Set menus built from the regular menu, or a pairing dinner if you want the full production
  • Every screen in the house if it's a match you're gathering for
  • A 20% gratuity is applied to parties of six or more

Prefer to talk it through? Ring (619) 299-0230 and ask for the manager.
