Balanced with quality, this is, externally a beautiful pub. With decorative tiling & a fabulous vintage curved, bay window & recessed bubble glass entry. Internally the bar in general is a quality blend of modernised heritage. The dark polished floor& broad skylight set against modernised bench seating & mirrored walls to create a sense of space within a relatively simple box layout. The decoratively papered ceiling & walls is too well hidden but it a reasonable balance to blend the beauty of the front with a modern, polite drinking space. Echoed in the polite, well mannered service.
A small and very traditional pub provided an enjoyable evening drink. The bar staff are very friendly and welcoming and there’s a good range of drinks on offer. It’s also great that they have a wine tasting machine - purchase a card and dispense as much or little of each bottle to sample different varieties. Just a shame there weren’t many bottles included. The atmosphere is relaxing, with no background music and the small size means there isn’t much chatter. Toilets are upstairs along with another space. My only complaint would be the very high prices - a double gin and glass of wine came to almost thirty pounds which felt very excessive. But otherwise I’d recommend for a relaxing and peaceful evening.
We hired a private room and did a painting session here it was so much fun! Definitely recommend!!
Good pub less than 10 minutes walk from the Barbican Centre. Four cask beers on handpump when I last visited. Ground floor bar together with a wine room upstairs. Plenty of standing room outside on a relatively quiet street.
Nice pub with nice atmosphere, went here for drinks before dinner with my family, we had a good time here.

The Smithfield-Farringdon area has no shortage of decent pubs. Plenty are flashier, or have a more extensive range of ales, but none has quite the same homeliness as the Hand and Shears.
