No 1 Shakespeare Street

Nice Night out! So far I don’t thing there is any other night club in Stratford.
2 bars, 2 rooms
£5 entry + £1 for your coat
Nice music & atmosphere

Now when you visit the countryside you don’t really expect to find a bar as a city dweller might expect it but No. 1 really was just that. Feeling a little swanky at it but still, cheaper than most of the traditional pubs surrounding it, a good area to get up and strut your stuff, and close enough the other aspects of «nightlife» in town (not to mention close to bed if you’ve opted for one of the travel lodges). No.1 felt like the perfect start to an active stratford night.
Now i wouldn’t normally review a place i had spent such a small amount of time in (without much of a Unilocal head on for it either — no food, no carefully laid tests for the staff). But one act from the staff compels me:
We were walking into town, unsure where would be open, it was really very late. Two intimidating looking bouncers are stood outside No1 (as is their job). We pause across the road, wondering at a country bar that needs bouncers like that, i was about to walk on when they bellowed, «don’t worry its nice in here, come on over!» Both with beaming smiles, one walked us in and pointed us to a good spot to sit and the other instructed my friend as to where to smoke (out the front it seemed was less windy that night). I was amazed, to be honest i’m used to bouncers being short tempered and sometimes pretty brash with you (thats just part of city life!).
This is the first review i’ve penned where the security made a place worth visiting for me, well done guys!

Such a quaint place to come & see with the crazy uneven floor pretty gardens
