The Shakespeare was first offered to let in 1858, and was described as “a Kendal house known by the name of The Shakespeare Tavern with brew house, stables and hayloft”. Throughout the years it has been known as an inn, a tavern and a hotel. The pub sits at the entrance to the old Shakespeare Theatre which closed in 1930’s.
