What are the best pubs in Chester?

Chester has a vibrant nightlife, and being a university city, this is of course especially true during term time. In this blog, we’re taking a look at a few suggestions for pubs in the city if you’re new to Chester or planning to study here.

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.
