After several visits, Frank is becoming a favourite stop for me and friends. Whether you're drinking on the weekend, popping in for a quick drink after work or having a sit down meal with family, Frank has never let me down.

They always have friendly chatty staff and bartenders/waiting staff who are quick and care about what they do. Drinks normally arrive quickly and are great (really boozy!) and the food has always been high quality for us.

Some people say it's overpriced, but I'd rather pay an extra pound or two to have fast and competent quality service than some half trained flare-obsessed staff make me something par.

Damnnnn... This is one hell of a place, why its not world famous for what they do i'll never know. If you have never been make sure you make the effort to visit it's above all of it peers!

I have been to Franks many times over the years and it seems to get better with age. The food is the best it has ever been and the cocktails are simply divine. Shrewsbury can be proud of this place!

a bit peckish

We often go to frank at the weekend, because we love the laid-back atmosphere, the original and delicious cocktails and occasionally for a bit of food which has always been very good, this weekend however we had probably one of the best meals we've ever had in shrewsbury or anywhere else.... We'll be back!!

We don't like mushrooms

After several recent appointments with franks and there bar, we decided to try their Tapas. Even though it was a busy Saturday night, the place was buzzing with electric atmosphere and the service was still top of the game. After a couple of cocktails and the constant teasing of other tables stunning Tapas platters rushing past us, we were more then ready to eat. Our food arrived promptly and tasted amazing, great flavours and perfect balance between the different dishes. Two highly recommended dishes would be the Croquettes of belly pork and black pudding and their gorgeous ribs. We would highly recommend Frank's for both food and drink. We will definitely return frequently for both of these delights.

The atmosphere was fantastic - they had a great range of tapas meals and just simply the best cocktails in Shrewsbury, Shropshire! I can recommend the mojitos they are just awesome! Nice art exhibitions there too :)

Frankly fantastic! I just loved the atmosphere, food and cocktails in this place. The staff were lovely, definately going to visit again soon!

LongIslandIceTeaByThePintPlease

After many trips to Franks I can personally reccommend the Long island ice and Tokyo ice tea as the best in the world! Having travelled extensively I have yet to find a cocktail that matches up to it. My friends are great fans of the Mojito and we all wish there were more bars like this in Shrewsbury. Most definitely the best atmosphere in town.

Forget Theatre Severn Franks is the real reason anyone should cross the bridge. TOP MARKS!

Bill Pearson

We tried their pre-theatre menu, having read the favourable reviews here. We had a great meal, with friendly service, and thought it was excellent value for money. We will definitely go back.

Ed Potter

Another fantastic night spent at Frank this weekend. Simply the best steak I have had in this town, period. Service at the top of their games even on the hectic weekend nights. The experience at Frank has inspired me to make cocktails for friends and family at home.. Cheers guys, most definately will see you soon

Best Cocktails in Shrewsbury hands down, if not the Midlands (and I have tired many). Love their tapas and atmosphere. Frank is always top of my list when making a visit to Shrewsbury. This is really a place for cocktail fans (opposed to most of the unrelaxed bars/clubs in the town) and people passionate about food and drink.

Thank goodness there is somewhere in Shrewsbury where you can get a decent cocktail from a long list and with a variety of spirits - mean dry Martini.

Visitor

As a regular customer at Frank's I was ecstatic to hear they have started a pre theatre dinner. I dined with a few friends and the food, service and general experience exceeded our expectations. Cocktails and bar service are also unrivalled by none in this area. Price is very reasonable and the staff managed to stay on top of everything during the early evening rush
If there is anywhere you should eat and drink in Shrewsbury its Frank.

I have been to Frank cafe bar many times. I have eaten both the Tapas menu and the Pre theater menu, I have never once been disappointed and is such great value for money. They have a wonderful selection of wines and classic cocktails and there staff are always very happy to help. A wonderful atmosphere and I would recommend anyone to and eat there.

Nice food in a relaxed atmosphere. Good range of wines. Friendly staff. Handy for the theatre
