The Wheatsheaf, Shrewsbury

Having lived opposite this pub for months, the unfortunate truth is that its a place to avoid at night. They have bands (or acts) on Wednesday through to Sunday who are invariably as low brow as you can imagine and very noisy. You wouldn't be able to hear yourself think never mind talk to each other. Imagine trying to talk to someone over a pint while a man in his mid-fifties is straining at the top of his voice to sing 'American Pie'. Yes, it's really that bad. The bands occupy half the pub and as so many of them are acoustic acts that would be hear easily, it's a mystery why they have to be amplified to 11.
