Drink in Chester

Chester has plenty of historic, old-fashioned English pubs, with beer at around £2.50-£3 a pint. However, most places will stop serving at around 11:30pm, and even a little earlier on Sundays. The only true exception being Watergates which trades until 2am on Friday's and Saturday's.
  • The Watergates Bar, 13 Watergate Street, +44 (0)1244 320515. A great setting in an old church crypt under The Rows. Generally relaxed by daytime with a stunning rooftop garden with outside bar. Attracts a lively crowd in the evening with great music and a wide range of cocktails, beers, shooters, spirits and bottles.
  • The Bear and Billet, Lower Bridge Street. Recently renovated seventeenth century tavern features a wide selection of beers in convivial surroundings. Decent food too.
  • Ye Olde Cottage Inn, Brook Street, Chester (Turn right out of station, follow Brook St towards City Centre. On Left Hand Side opposite Spice Balti.). Good local pub, serving real cask ale and selection of beers, wines and spirits. Real log fires in winter, excellent beer garden at rear. Traditional English pub, oak beamed and bar, with pool and darts. Home of the famous B-Troop Darts Club, saviours of pub darts.
  • The Falcon, Lower Bridge Street. An old tavern situated at the top of Lower Bridge Street - allegedly haunted in its basement - it serves an excellent range of beer from the Sam Smith's brewery.
  • The Marlbororough Arms. When it needed its sign painting, the artist stopped to quench his thirst half-way through, and the rest is history.
