Pub operator JD Wetherspoon has spent £520,000 developing the pub, which will be operated as a Lloyds No 1 bar.
It was originally thought that 30 jobs would be created, but bosses today revealed that 40 positions would be in place for the pub, which will be managed by David Gregg.
He said: "I am looking forward to welcoming customers into Montgomery's Tower. I am confident that the pub will be a good addition to Shrewsbury's social scene."
The pub will specialise in real ales, serving up to 17 at all times, including some from local and regional brewers.
The pub's name refers to a tower which used to form part of the defensive walls of Shrewsbury and which stood on the site of the pub before it was demolished in 1686.
