Nice old 15C timbered-framed building with plenty of character. Good range of 6 draught beers and Addlestones cloudy cider on my trip, plus lager. Food is OK, probably 3*, fairly tasty and reasonable value. read more

Three Fishes Inn - Pubs Near Me - Shrewsbury, SHR

See all

This place was way ahead of its time as the original no-smoking pub, and unfortunately seemed to suffer as a result due to a lack of trade (well it was never busy on the many occassions I visited). The place is small and cosy inside with a really friendly atmosphere. They do a really good selection of real ales, with really knowledgeable bar staff to help you decide the right beer for your palate. Really great pork pies too!!! read more

Olde place with wooden beams across the roof. My beer was rather nice but I couldn't for the life of me tell what it was because the design of the clip was quite elaborate and there were people sat along the bar, in front of the taps. read more

The Three Fishes is a fifteenth century pub that dates back to the year 1640. It serves home cooked food & real ale and is Shropshire's only smoke free pub (pre-smoking ban). It is centrally situated in the heart of Shrewsbury, opposite St Alkmunds Church, down Fish Street just off from Butchers Row. Traditional home made food is available Mon-Sun 12-2.15pm and Mon-Sat 6-8.30pm. Behind the bar you will find an excellent selection of fine wines and cask ales (least half a dozen real ales on show upon my own visit). The Three Fishes has achieved many awards including the Certificate of Excellence in Cask Marque 2002/3/4/5, selected for Good Beer Guide 2003/4/5/6/10, featured in Good Pub Guide 2004/5 and won the West Shropshire CAMRA Pub of the Year 2002/3. So basically the pub has been on top of its game the last ten years from what I could divulge with all the awards achieved. (It is also mentioned on the Shrewsbury Heritage Pub Crawl postcard available from the Tourist Information Centre.) Food is served 12.00 p.m. 2.15 p.m. & 6.00 p.m 8.30 p.m. & drinking times are 11.30am-3pm/5pm-11pm Mon-Thur, 11.30am-11pm Fri-Sat and 12pm-4pm/7pm-10.30pm Sun. My initial personal impression upon entering the premises was of a very clean & posh immaculately run establishment. Real ale enthusiasts will be keen to know the beer is well kept (CAMRA members will know exactly what I mean). I sampled the Midnight Stout which was brewed with natural spring water & was very smooth (if you wish to check out the product -http://woodlandsbrewery.co.uk/default.htm ) As a Guinness man & CAMRA convert myself I had the best of both worlds with the Midnight Stout. Food looked nice but pricey most meals £ 10 (I.e. steak and ale pie etc.) even the specials, but there are Panini's you can purchase for £5 and the pork pies seem to have something of a cult following! The locals/regulars seem friendly & chatty enough which made for a pleasant atmosphere all round. Well recommended and well worth a visit. read more

Undoubtedly the best pub in town and among my all time best list. Superb beer quality and choice with the most entertaining of clientele. Sadly now Miss Becky has left we need more totty please Victoria. Sadly does not have good Wi Fi access£ read more

A real pub for real ale drinkers in a wonderful old building ... What's not to like? Always plenty of people to advise on beer choice on both side of the bar ... Very much the kind of place where you can go in your own and easily find someone to chat to, but can get busy in the evenings sometimes. Just remember to duck when going through the doorway that leads to the toilets! A must for a Shrewsbury pub crawl read more

Originally the three fishes was the only non smoking pub in Shrewsbury and it did a raring trade, since the smoking back came into force in England trade has slightly died off. Don't let this put you off this is the pub is the very best for real ale and pork pies! The staff are really friendly and it's a great place to sit back and relax. read more
