Salopian Bar

This is a pub which has had several changes of name in its history. It was first recorded in 1861 as the Globe, then in 1916 it became the Smithfield. In 1959 it was changed to the Proud Salopian. This was to commemorate the achievement of Thomas Southam in becoming mayor of Shrewsbury on four separate occasions. The latest name change reflects its current image. It's a single-roomed pub that is popular with all age groups and has a modern, albeit sometimes noisy, atmosphere. Consider it a Sports bar with 5 screens always on, showing football/rugby/racing. The dedicated management continually strives to increase the beer, cider and perry range to satisfy public demand. Regular cider and perry is provided by Westons and Thatchers, and an ever increasing range of Belgian and American bottled beer is also available. The local Branch of CAMRA's Pub of the Year for 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 and Shrewsbury Town for 2013 and 2014. Also Branch Cider Pub of the Year in 2016. Holds numerous beer and cider festivals during the year. Oh yes, and e-cigs are allowed! Unfortunately, the pub suffered badly from the flooding in February 2020, but has now been completely refurbished and includes an additional indoor 'beer garden' in which to enjoy your pint.
