| Since the smoking ban the atmosphere in this pub is much better. Unfortunately this is still not enough for me to be persuaded to visit here on a more regular basis. There is a large clique in here which often means you are invisible to the bar staff who don't seem to have any problems spotting the regulars. There seems to be a lack of tables & chairs in this place which means at busy times you are left stranded in the middle of the pub trying not to elbow the person next to you. The beer garden is large & enjoyable on a sunny day. happytyskie - 15 Jul 2008 18:07 |
| Visit this pub probably once a month as it's a local but usually Monday or Tuesday but have visited it on a Friday occasionally. It is usually a fairly busy pub, no music, but loud with chat and has a nice beer garden. There are real ales, usually good and varied. I can see a point to some of the negative comments here, which probably refer to Friday/Saturday night. Unfortunately nearly all pubs are nothing like what they used to be 20 years ago and peoples behaviour is probably not what we would all like, and wherever you go people have accents some more difficult to understand than others. I have to say as a balance to some of these comments that it is IMHO the best you can find in the village. Wirral_RealAlians - 24 Mar 2008 22:39 |
| Does 'Personal' work here?! It is better since the smoking ban was introduced but has declined since the OBT opened. PS Peggie is listening! in4 - 31 Dec 2007 20:17 |
| I have been into the Shrew 100's of times and yes, sometimes it has been noisy, smokey and packed to the rafters with young people drinking, but it is also packed to the rafters with middle aged and older, non smokers and people in couples. It is noisy with laughter and people enjoying their night out on their hard earned money, after all is that not what a pub is for. Peggy belongs in the archives, along with the people who keep mentioning her name 25 years on. I will be in here 100 times more and then if it's run the way it is now, I will be quite happy for my children to drink in here when it's their time! personal - 30 May 2007 08:52 |
