Bar.and.restaurant in Shrewsbury

“It was my husband who discovered this place for our dinner with friends. Great vibes and love the fact it is a community pub. My starter of the Korean cauliflower was absolutely amazing and I could have very happily eaten a larger portion as a main. For my main however, I went for the pesto bread and butter pudding and again this was delicious. My husband and friends enjoyed their meals. I was too full for pudding but as I wasn't driving, I enjoyed the special cocktail, whiskey sour, before we headed home. Good vegetarian options.”

“Don’t listen to the haters. Anyone can cherry pick some tiny negative details. This was an exquisite and generous offering which surprised and delighted. It enabled a group of school friends to reunite. We were given the best seat in the house with views of the river. Nice decor throughout. Service was well informed and pleasant without being intrusive. Recommend the cheese course. Very memorable.”

“Start from the location just next to train station and in the heart of this beautiful town. The second thing which make this place highlighted is amazing selection of craft beers from IPA to stout & sour. Third is awesome atmosphere which I really like. Good vibes and friendly approachable people in the bar. Specially I like the wall full of colour beer pump clips. Service was good and the prices were very pocket friendly. Hope after all these points I recommend it. Worth to visit”

“We came here for our works Christmas meal. There were 30 of us and everyone loved it! The service was spot on and the food was excellent, even for such a big group. Days later people are still talking about what a lovely time they had and how good the food and service were. We'll be back next year!”

“We were served by Hannah C today at Ego Shrewsbury and I have to say she was excellent. So kind, caring and efficient. She catered for everyone’s needs superbly - from the youngest 4 year old to my 90 year old father. Thank you so much Hannah for making our family Christmas meal so relaxed. Food was yummy, atmosphere great. Thank you Ego. All your staff are a credit to you.”

“Stopped in for lunch on Saturday, lovely food, cooked well and excellent prices. I had Roast Turkey and my husband had Fish and Chips, both really tasty. Definitely recommend.”

“We had a fabulous trip to Hollywood bowling. It was well priced compared to its comparable competitors and offered additional discount for those bowling prior to 11am which suited us with 3 young children. The staff were attentive and welcoming and helped when the system broke twice (simple fixes and didn't impair the game so we simply carried on). The toilets were clean and adequate. The access was great for a pushchair and therefore good for a wheelchair plus accessible toilet with baby change facilities. There is also a well thought out arcade with lots of variety of games/ experiences. They also offer food and drink which seems nice and well priced (for this kind of place). If we lived locally we'd certainly visit regularly. The vip section looks good We'd definitely consider this for a special occasion.”

“Had an absolutely brilliant lunch here, catered brilliantly for my coeliac mum (they were the best onion rings we have ever eaten). Everything was delicious, portions were spot on and the fact they use local ingredients, local suppliers and make their own sausages is ace. Thoroughly recommend.”

“We were on the lookout for a spontaneous dinner and drinks spot and were pleased to stumble upon The House of the Rising Sun. From the moment we arrived, the customer service stood out—they made sure we were accommodated even though we didn’t have a reservation. Since it was a last-minute night out, we ended up seated at the high chairs, which were a bit uncomfortable, especially if you’re dressed up (like in a tight shirt dress). The interior design is impressive—stylish and atmospheric, though a little too dim for dining. It feels more like a place that’s tailored for drinks and conversation. One standout feature is the bar with its aquarium-style backsplash—absolutely eye-catching. We tried the Teriyaki Beef and Chicken Katsu. The katsu was excellent—crispy, flavorful, and definitely best enjoyed with rice. The beef, on the other hand, was slightly chewy and not as tender as expected. For drinks, we had the classic Mojito and their signature cocktail, Land of Smiles. The latter was a highlight—refreshing with a unique spicy kick that really elevated the experience. Overall, The House of the Rising Sun is a lovely spot for a date night, especially if you’re after a cozy ambiance and creative cocktails. We’d definitely go back—hopefully with a reservation next time!”

“We celebrated my daughter’s 18th birthday here and there were 32 of us dining and we had such a lovely time. The staff were brilliant to deal with while we were planning and collating everyone’s meal orders and decorated the room for us after I had left balloons there earlier in the day. That was a lovely surprise. The food was delicious and arrived without any problems. We felt looked after and the whole evening was fabulous.”

“Had lunch here today, we really enjoyed it. Was excited to try the takoyaki as I’ve seen it online and never tried it. Was not disappointed! Cocktails were lovely also. Will definitely be back again, thanks guys :)”

“Lovely Location in the heart of Shrewsbury High Street has outdoor seating during the nice months offers live music food and more would highly recommend this place for solo or a family visit!”

“We went to The Loopy Shrew for Christmas meal. It was extremely busy and there wasn't much space to move in the bar area. The food however arrived quickly and was very tasty. It was a good meal and the drinks were nice, but a little expensive.”

“I had the cheese steak burger it’s was juicy and flavourful and the chips was equally as nice washed down with a pint of cold river! I was served by Jake the manager on shift couldn’t of been more helpful and kind”
