A new and trendy independent bar which opened in July 2014 specialising in cocktails, craft and world beers. Unfortunately though, the range of beer does not include Real Ale in a Bottle!

Featherbed

Earl's Park, Battlefield Business Park, Shrewsbury SY1 4AB

This large restaurant/pub was built in 2014 as part of Marston's Milestone Carvery brand. It's imaginatively set out with about 7 different areas, some secluded and some not (though it may just remind you of similar purpose-built edge of town Marston's establishments). The pub is located at what is now the busy northern end of town in between KFC and the Arriva bus depot, opposite Tesco and Park & Ride (overshadowed by a recently built showroom structure, such is the development in the area (Oct 2016)). Food is served until 10pm from the Main Menu, and the carvery is from 12 until 9pm daily. It has been very popular with diners since Day One, booking is recommended (some tables can be booked online).

Riverbank

Victoria Quay, Victoria Avenue, Shrewsbury SY1 1HH

Principally a restaurant & cocktail lounge bar. The upstairs NY Lounge is the main cocktail/music area which only tends to open in the evenings. Downstairs is mainly restaurant, but there is a small seating are in front of the bar which is located just inside the front door..

Chez Sophie

10 Mardol Head, Shrewsbury SY1 1HD

Chez Sophie is a creperie, bar and cafe influenced by the Estaminets of Sophie's home region of Flanders France. and is unique in Shrewsbury. Certainly, one gets the feeling immediately on entering that there’s something foreign about it. Both downstairs and upstairs rooms have that welcoming rustic feel, with wooden tables, some comfy chairs (even some old French cinema seats) and a host of quirky nick-knacks scattered around. Although this is primarily a creperie, and a supplier of milkshakes, beer undoubtedly plays its part in the offering. The range is definitely unusual and thoughtfully created by co-owner Matt who is also an accredited Beer Sommelier. There are bottles – and some cans – from the whole spectrum of continental and other beers. Whilst these are not all bottle conditioned (i.e. real ale in a bottle) a great number of them are And what is refreshing about Sophies is that it’s a place to take the family and each can indulge in maybe a crepe, milkshake, soft drink or indeed a beer. So, lovers of the continental bar environment may well appreciate being here and linger longer. Opens Tuesdays as well during the summer holiday season

Premier Inn

Smithfield Road, Shrewsbury SY1 1QB

Brand new hotel opened March 2013. Small bar area adjacent to the restaurant.

Hickory's Smokehouse

Victoria Quay, Victoria Avenue, Shrewsbury SY1 1HH

This was formerly the Waterfront which occupied the same building as Bond's Nightclub. The pub closed in October 2018 and after extensive work the whole building re-opened in December 2019 as part of the Hickory's Smokehouse chain. Whilst primarily a restaurant there is a bar area to the right of the entrance on Victoria Quay.

Alb

14 Smithfield Road, Shrewsbury SY1 1PB

Formerly the Albert, renamed and re-opened as a "lounge bar with restaurant" in October 2012. This pub was extensively renovated by the new owners, who bought it from Marston's. Unfortunately, the ale and cider hand-pulls are stuck ignominiously in one corner of the bar, and tend to be hidden by a combination of bar furniture and customers. The makeover has been drastic and some of the original Victorian features have been ripped out. On the credit side, it is now much cleaner with quality pub furniture and wooden flooring. There is a small snug, with large and deep settees available for private functions. Upstairs is a splendid restaurant, used for evening meals, meetings or promotions, whereas lunch-time bistro-type food is served downstairs at your table. The large inner courtyard has been partitioned off to allow people access to the bathroom facilities without exposure to the elements. The door at the end leads into an external courtyard. The pub's big advantage is its location - next door to the bus station and 200m from the railway station. Drinkers of a certain age will remember the original Albert Hotel, one of the 15 pubs in the Branch area appearing in the initial 1974 Good Beer Guide (GBG) with the legend: "Mitchells & Butlers, Ansells, pleasant people and attractive pub with well kept beer". Arguably the pub's heyday was the 10 year GBG stint (1978-1987) when it was noted for its guest beer selection at a time when they were not so common. Darts players and Simpkiss drinkers of that era would no doubt be bemused by the current incarnation with cocktail menus on the tables. It is no less popular these days, but now appeals to a completely different demographic. It's probably not a surprise that it was the first known pub in the area to reach £4/pint in October 2015. The solitary handpump was removed in 2020 and cask beer is no longer sold.

Warehouse

5-6 Claremont Street, Shrewsbury SY1 1QG

New venue, opened in October 2017. Furnished in the American-diner style with raised alcoves, it is very much a restaurant during peak eating hours, but feels more like a bar during the other quieter times. Fairly cavernous space as befits an ex-Argos store, in the current industrial style, ie with exposed brickwork and air ducts. May close early on quieter midweek evenings.

Bull in the Barne

52-54 The Mount, Shrewsbury SY3 8PW

Real Ale Available

Formerly the Salopian Brewery tap, and once known as the Windsor Castle some years ago, this terrace pub was re-opened under new ownership in July 2011. As part of the extensive alterations, the internal layout became open plan and the bar was resited. With more comfortable furnishing and a brighter decor, the feel of the place is more of a modern bar than the traditional pub. The location is definitely suburban, but blessed with an extremely attractive vista from the rear of the pub, providing splendid views over the River Severn and the County Showground beyond. However, be warned, although the Showground looks to be at the bottom of the garden, due to the river in-between and the location of the nearest downstream bridges, it is actually about 2 miles away by road or footpath! As the Windsor Castle, it was an early Good Beer Guide entry in 1975, when it was said to be a "friendly pre-war pub". M&B Mild was available, together with "Bass Worthington"

Crown

115 Longden Road, Coleham, Shrewsbury SY3 7DX

A pub much renovated and extended at the rear to exploit its riverside location. One main room with a side pool room, with a conservatory-style area overlooking the river. Once owned by Trouncers a former brewery nearby, so presumably was for a time the brewery tap. Good value food, with regular curry nights, grill nights etc.
