The Shakespeare is a piece of England right in the heart of Montpellier. A short walk from Place de la Comédie, this pub offers a wide range of bottled and tap beers, many of which are imported from British breweries. One feels immediately at home when settling into a comfortable bench in this cosy room with its 17th-century woodwork and vaulted ceiling. The bar is famous for its competitions of all kinds. There are pub quizzes, of course, but also musical trivia nights and even a contest to see who has the best-looking moustache.
