Visited on a Friday afternoon just after 2pm back in April. Four hand pulls, all of which were on. I had the Castle Black Stout by Merlins (a Cheshire brewery) at £2 for a half. It was quiet at the time of my visit, and I was initially the only customer.
This is a traditional carpeted pub with a central bar, etched windows, dark wood beams and a real fire (not in use at the time of my visit). Pump clips are on the beams to show the range of ales that has previously passed through the pumps. There was a TV on showing the horse racing. Beer literature is on a shelf by the front of the pub including copies of the GBG and similar. A beer garden is advertised but not investigated.
Definitely worth a visit when in Chester.

A really charming street corner boozer on a street best described as "takeaway central".The mock tudor exterior gives way to an original two section interior with some fine etched glass exterior windows.The small island bar serves both areas,with a return around the back and where the loos are.Lots of pleasing features,good fireplaces,darts board,fitted bench seating and a decent juke box.Even the gaming machine doesn't feel out of place.A late opener during the week,sadly.
There was a very friendly welcome from both behind the bar and from locals and we stayed for an extra ale on an extensive crawl of Chester.The choice on my visit was Brimstage Sandpiper (great condition,NBSS 4.5),Bass,Otter Bitter and Wye Valley HPA (NBSS 4) nothing left field but conditioning consistent with their 2023 GBG entry.Some most un PC adverts for Bishop's Finger dotted about.Most certainly one not to miss,I will be back.

This is a cracking little pub and I've no idea why we haven't been in before. Mock Tudor frontage and a very pleasant traditional interior. Lot's of different areas, although it's all one room really. Very friendly welcome from the staff. 4 handpumps and judging by the two pints I had the beer was in very good nick. We enjoyed our time here and will definitely call in again.
