Accredited for beer quality 2022

Situated just off the town's main square, this popular free house specialises in its variety of ales and ciders from Shropshire and Herefordshire. 6 ales and 7 Ciders/Perries can be available at any one time. Also a good range of bottled Belgian Beers is stocked. Whilst the Benbow's main bar is basically a comfortable single L-shaped area, there is a small separate room to the rear. Children are not permitted in the pub. The Admiral in the pub's name was a 17th century admiral who attained both fame and public notoriety, and who was born in Shrewsbury. The guest beer is usually from a fairly local brewery, but can be from further afield.

Note that dogs are allowed in the garden, but not in the pub itself.

A partly covered and heated area in the rear courtyard is appreciated by smokers. It's even more attractive during the summer months when it's surrounded by masses of flower baskets.
