First off, anyone staying in student accommodation near the Exton Park site will want to check out the university’s own Varsity Bar, especially on a Wednesday night when most societies have their socials. The bar serves cocktails in pitchers, and a menu of typical American fare is available for anyone feeling peckish. If you meet up with friends on a quieter night, you can make use of the dartboards and pool tables.
There are also plenty of traditional pubs in the city, of course. Weatherspoon’s is well known for being a steady, affordable option, and Chester has two on opposite sides of the city centre. Other notable venues include The Red Lion on Northgate Street, while for a more modern feel, check out the Music Hall Tap, which is located near the cathedral.
Chester also has a number of cocktail bars, with popular options including Bonobo, Popcorn, The Red Door, and The Cellar. Alcohol-free mocktails are also generally available in addition to the traditional versions, for any non-drinkers or those who are just feeling sensible for a night.
To make the most of Chester’s vibrant student nightlife, you will of course want your Chester university accommodation to be handily located for popular venues.
