A Sam Smiths bar in a lovely old building. Loads of character and charm and a nice pint of cask ale.

A characterful half-timbered alehouse offers value for money drinks, great atmosphere and plentiful seating.

This place is very nice. Local people come around because they have cheap, good quality beers (no big mainstream beers there). I didn't feel like a stranger there it feels like a very welcoming place. There is no mobile phones policy in there which encourages to strike a conversation with anyone. It's a place to go to even if you're just a tourist. It's a historical place with a soul.

What a lovely traditional old English pub in Chester. Wow... this place offers character, atmosphere and lovely local craft beer. A very welcoming atmosphere in the middle of Chester. We popped in for 2 local beers and a few cokes for the kids. All came to approx. £7 only! Highly recommended for a visit don't miss out on this hidden Gem for an old pub experience. The landlady was very informative and helpful. Local beer was one of the nicest beers I've ever tasted! They have a "No Swearing Policy" which I found comical but good!

Sam Smith's pub with the usual 'everything made by Sam Smiths'. All the ale is good. Fruit beer is excellent. Historic surroundings too. In Chester bout as cheap a pint as you can have if you stick to cask/kegs. Recommended.

So cheap it's insane but because its their own branded alcohol. So don't go in if you want a usual high street brand. That said, the beer is good. Very basic pub but also comfortable and cozy. Shame they stopped allowing dogs in. If you like here, also try the boot Inn.

I had lunch here while sightseeing in Chester. The pub is ideally located for both the city centre and the river, and has a history dating back 800 years. Beautiful period interior with wood panelling and oak beams, and an upstairs restaurant. The lunch menu has all the usual pub favourites, sandwiches and burgers. I found the staff polite and helpful but the service was rather slow. The chicken, ham and leek pie, served with chips and two veg, was tasty and filling, accompanied by a glass of good wine. Nice atmosphere, and not too expensive.

These amazing people are serving the best beers in UK in the oldest pub in Chester. When we visiting Chester we are always going there for chocolate stout. The taste is just perfect. People are welcoming and friendly.

Popped in for just one beer. It's a Samuel Smith house so you only really get their beers. Having said they are all represented and well kept. The service was good. A few old boys were in the bar using some slightly colourful language directly below sign warning that swearing is not tolerated. Adds to the experience I suppose unless you have kids with you.

The pub looks like a travellers in from Tolkiens The Hobbit. The beer is excellent as its a Samuel Smiths pub & there is a no swearing policy. I recommend this pub to anyone who is a responsible beer lover who just wants a friendly & relaxed drink with friends with no fuss or bother.

A quintessence of local pub. Located in amazing Tudoresque building, always full of locals, with the cheapest beer in Chester. Yes, this place is a must-go-to in Chester even if it is slightly run down. Try Sam Smith’s Chocolate Porter. And be aware, this place has a non-swearing policy!
