This Midtown dinner theater provides good food and great Shakespearean entertainment. The performing company here was the first American company to perform at the Globe Theater in London. A traditional English pub meal is offered during the hour before the show, except on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when only sandwiches and salads are provided. A full bar features Harp, Bass and Guinness on tap,... more

The New American Shakespeare Tavern is dedicated to presenting the Bard's works as they were intended to be seen, in as approximate a setting as possible. That means medieval dress, expertly choreographed swordfights, an intimate connection between characters and audience and no artsy conceptualizations (cowboys, street gangs, etc.). But Shakespeare isn't the only playwright on the bill; the... more

Editorial Reviews from the web

Like snaring front-row seats to the world premiere of "Romeo and Juliet" four centuries ago.

Overview An innocuous exterior on Peachtree gives way to a comfortable venue with folksy medieval flair, meant to evoke Shakespeare's Globe theater. Wooden tables flank an open stage tailor-made for Elizabethan drama, and a wooden balcony hangs overhead. Patrons further get into the period mood by dining on authentic pub fare (shepherd's pie, Cornish patsy) and washing it down with... more

We went to see The Mystery of Irma Vep. I loved this show!! The actors were just fantastic. They were amazing with the quick changes and perfect comedic timing. The pianist was very impressive. We had a large birthday party at the Shakespeare Tavern, and everyone in our party had a ball. The Tavern is an awesome place to have dinner and bring friends or guests. Everthing we experienced was... more

Horrible Acting - Save your money & time

A group of friends and I decided to take a friend here for her recent birthday since she had been wanting to go. It was the worst acting I have ever experienced. I've seen better acting/props/jobs done in high schools across the country. We didn't order any food, but after the quality of the production was well announced we decided against it. Toward the end it was hard not to laugh at how... more

If the previous reviewer knew anything about Shakespeare they would know that phallic references and other bawdy comedy was the norm. The majority of the Bard's audience was uneducated, so sexual jokes usually got the best reaction. Give the Tavern a second look, maybe the specific play wasn't to your liking, and if you don't want the food, they don't make you buy it-you can always eat before... more
