Chapel St Bar & Kitchen in Denbighshire

The Tapas here is amazing, plenty of choice and served when it's ready, each plate cooked individually. Not rushed, great service and great choice of drinks and cocktails.

Food is good. Staff are nice but absent. Friday night is busy but not all tables full but took over 15 minutes to clear plates after we finished dinner. No dairy free milk which is unfortunate for my lactose intolerant partner. First cocktail was made wrong. Still waiting on the bill but losing the will to live….. Sadly the food doesn’t make up for the slow service.

Both Kamil and our other waiter were attentive, kind, and helpful. A special shout out to them both - they made our trip a little more special.

Lovely intimate & pretty bar and restaurant. Specialises in tapas, small plates, but also has larger meals. Great service, food was tasty. Was very quiet when I visited even though there were tapas tuesday special offers on - seemed a shame as that affected the atmosphere a bit.

We found this restaurant on a stroll around Llangollen and decided to try without booking on a Saturday night, the staff were great and we only waited half an hour for a table , just enough time to have a quick drink in the bar downstairs. We had a starter, salt and pepper squid and sticky sausages and steak for mains , both were amazing and definitely hand cut chips. Plenty to choose from the desert menu although I went for the cheese board, it was probably one of the best I have had and didn’t quite manage to finish all the crackers and pickles . The evening was tipped off by the staff ordering us a taxi which came within 5 minutes. Excellent and we will be going back thank you

Little gold mine! My partner and I came across this little restaurant/bar. We find it on Google for places in the area. The Food was perfect. I had 14oz Lamb rump and my partner had a centre fillet steak. The waitering team were so welcome and full of knowledge when it came to the food. One little negative thing... It is small, and is required to go upstairs to sit and eat, but don't let that ruin it. As we will be returning for a fabulous meal..

Only been the once for a sunday roast,apart from my yorkie being burnt, everything else was delicious,the downside was the lager,it didn't come in a proper lager glass so was flat within minutes,very poor,the drinks are expensive as well.

We came here on Saturday evening. It was a lovely setting, nice and cosy. The staff were all really nice and very welcoming. We had a couple of starters which were the brie and red onion pie and the bbq sticky wings. They were both delicious, and for the mains we had a chicken burger and the steak. Again they were both nice. I did have to send my steak back but thats just personal preference on how i like my steak, but they quickly replaced it to how i like it. The food was all nice and hot. The only downside was we were told we only had 30 minutes left on the table, which i get places have a time limit. But it took 25 minutes for us to get served in the first place and then we just felt rushed, which is never nice. We really wanted pudding but thought we wouldnt have time, which was such a let down. We love the town and the area but I dont think we will be back here again.

Cocktails and service was good and professional. Feel like the menu is expensive for what it is and wasn't great quality/flavour alot of items are fried. Had ran out of alot of options.

Lovely place, a little gem. Food was delicious, service spot on. And good value too. Was recommended by the place we are staying and I'm glad they did recommend, it was really excellent

We went down for a couple of drinks and were absolutely astounded that they charged us £30 for three drinks bearing in mind they weren’t cocktails. Very disappointed and feel ripped off. Definitely won’t be going back.

Stunning location, friendly staff, and top notch food. I'll definitely be going there again!

This small place has amazing food and lovely service

Attended this evening for dinner with a group a 4. No major problems with the restaurant itself however the service was extremely poor from a select few waitresses which were unfortunately assigned to our table. When we were asked what we wanted to order, we were told we were not allowed to order tomahawk steaks to share as they take an over an hour to cook and we wouldn’t be able to eat it in time which I wasn’t aware we had entered an eating competition for our evening meal? (Our table booking apparently had only an hour on it, despite the restaurant being half empty and nowhere near closing time) We ended up ordering ribeye steaks which were great despite ordering them medium rare and one coming out close to well done. Sides that came with the steaks were great also but did have to wait 10 minutes for the chips to come out with the steak going cold on the table and when we asked the waitress if the steak was meant to come with them we were just told ‘yeah they’ll be here soon’ and they walked off, bit annoying when we were all waiting and you’re paying £25+ for a main alone. However at the end of our meal we did have a different waiter and waitress come over which were great so unfortunately just let down by the others.

Nice little place with a friendly team plus great food

Very attentive service. Friendly and knowledgeable. Eleanor makes awesome cocktails and is the perfect host. Kamil is relaxed attentive and makes the night feel special. #bestnightout

Great place, found randomly on Google Maps. The photos and very clear information immediately encouraged us to eat here. After 15 days in Wales made of fish & chips and luckily some curries, for the first time we found a varied, different, carefully prepared and carefully prepared menu. Compliments to the chefs and the young staff who are friendly and attentive to having a chat with everyone even when the place is full. Well done!

Very slow service only brought half the order we ordered then had to wait half an hour for the rest of our meal also forgot to bring the second drink wasn't even busy 4 couples and a family of 4 on a Tuesday night 🙃

What a pleasant surprise this restaurant was! The food was amazing, and the cocktails too! Everything was beautifully presented, without compromising on flavor. I had the duck bonbons (I still think about those), halloumi sticks, blue cheese bites, slow-cooked pork (so juicy), and crispy sweet potato fries. As for the cocktails, there were the Rum Punch and Mango Rum. Well-balanced and flavorful, they paired perfectly with the dishes. The restaurant is small, and may not be ideal for very large groups. However, it feels cozy, with an intimate and friendly atmosphere. The servers are attentive and efficient.

The food was excellent and the front of house staff were super nice and friendly. Unfortunately we had to wait over an hour for our food to come out which put a bit of a dampener on the whole experience. Hopefully just a one off night.

Lovely cosy restaurant with great food, definitely recommend

Great venue with a menu to match. Such a varied selection including a vegetarian option. Very good service with only a short wait. Really good value for money.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely evening to celebrate our anniversary on 12th June, which was a Wednesday evening . The atmosphere was amazing ! The restaurant was full which we were not expecting for a Wednesday ! The staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. Very friendly and attentive. We chose tapas ,and the food was exceptional . We had a lovely evening so thanks to all . We will be back soon !

Best food I've had in a long time staff superb aswell

We booked and were on time but they could not cope with how busy they were. 20 mins to order a drink and told we could not order food straight away. 40 mins later we had still not even ordered food. A table nearby complained about the wait and ended up being served before us despite coming after us. So we left because it was 8.25pm and we were starving. It’s obviously got good reviews before so maybe you just need to go really early and not be hungry. .

Really nice food, good service. Fair prices.

Delicious cocktails, friendly service and the food was superb. We had lots of small plates and every bite was delicious. Highly recommend. Best meal we had in Llangollen

We had the cod goujons and pork belly starters and both were delicious.

Tomahawk was cooked to perfection. Totally worth the one hour wait for a table and one hour wait for food. At £55, the tomahawk was excellent value. Do make advance reservations as this restaurant is popular

We found this place upon recommendation by reception staff at the Wild Pheasant Hotel. We went on the Tuesday for their tapas deal (3 for £13.50), and it also had offers on drinks and cocktails that night. It was so good we went back on the Thursday and both ended up getting their bbq brisket burger which was incredible! We can’t wait for a chance to go back :D the choice of tapas was incredible; and my partner got a dessert that he said was the best he’d ever had (and that’s high praise indeed!). Keep up the good work guys! 👏🏼 oh also the staff are absolutely lovely.

Found this by chance and it’s is amazing food is delicious and very well cooked (steaks were spot on!) We’ll be back when next in the area

Had veggie burgers and pan fried chips and it was awesome

We had our our anniversary meal here and it was absolutely amazing and delicious! Staff was so friendly and food was very tasty. 10/10

Food was very nice we didn't book we turned up on a Friday night and they fitted us in would definitely recommend

Our third visit to the Bistro. We decided to go with The Carnivore and The Herbivore sharing platters. The food was lovely and the staff were both informative and attentive. A fabulous choice of cocktails, draught beers and bottle beers available.

Been again tonight and was as good as the times before, food was stunning tonight and we were very well looked after by the staff. The sharing platters are lovely and good value too. Still well worth a visit. Great little restaurant and we will definitely return. Food was lovely and plenty of it. Good cocktails too and some craft beers on draught. Nice and friendly service, nothing was too much trouble. They have a mid week offer here too which is great value and a good selection to choose from. Well worth a visit.

such a beautifully decorated area with beautiful staff and a wonderful atmosphere. food was absolutely outstanding. compliments to the chefs and the drinks were the best i’ve ever tasted.

Had dinner here last night. The bar downstairs was great - small, busy, and the barman makes a superb Zombie. The food was really good and decent value - my gf and I had a sharing platter and a few small plates which was perfect. The only problem was the slow service - it took an hour for our order to be taken (we nearly left to grab a takeaway). We were told when seated that the kitchen had a backlog of orders, so knew it would be slow, but not that slow. Nice restaurant other than that!

My boyfriend and myself had booked here for 7pm..we arrived just before 7pm and we were shown to our table upstairs by a window a very nice spot..the waitress said another waitress would take our drinks order so we waited 10mins and she eventually came to take our drinks order..by then we were starving and thought she could take our food order..but no she was just serving drinks! She'll get someone to order our food..we waited a further 20mins before someone finally came to place our food order!..we'd noticed other people that had been in the bistro before us still waiting for food! When our food finally arrived it was 8.10pm! 1hr and 10mins after we'd arrived at the bistro..I had fillet steak, chips and a portion of asparagus with a blue cheese sauce..the steak and chips were lovely and the steak was done medium rare as I asked..I found the blue cheese sauce a little bit on the runny side though...my boyfriend had ordered rib eye steak and unfortunately that was not very nice it was chewy and fatty! We decided we'd not have dessert as we'd waited long enough for the main so we paid our bill of £72( which I dont think was worth it!) I don't think we'll ever be going there again unless they pull their fingers out and get a bigger kitchen and more qualified trained staff to serve customers quicker.

Over in this lovely area for a wedding and chose here for a meal on the night before, we were not disappointed! The food was amazing and the service was great. Lovey a cozy eating area upstairs. Will 100% come back here again and 100% recommend this place to anyone.

Brilliant food a very long wait

Came here for some food on a Sunday afternoon, heard very good reviews and safe to say the food backed them up. Will definitely be visiting again

Review of meal in October Held off reviewing as was waiting for owner to respond to original complaint. Had a very badly cooked steak and very bad service. Was not sorted out properly on the evening and the staff on the eve made us feel we were complaining to get a discount. So we emailed the owner afterwards, hoping he'd want to receive our complaint in person and offer a better resolution. According to owner, on the eve of our meal, the grill broke and the supplier had provided a poor quality product, and he has sacked the manager! So hopefully, the food issues now sorted out and service is better, and there are plenty of good reviews praising the food now. What I find most upsetting is the communication with the owner afterwards. I emailed to relate our experience. He initially offered us a free meal and was apologetic, but when I replied to take this offer up, did not hear back, so left a negative Google review in the end. Owner responded to the review, to say it was my fault he did not follow up, as I had not contacted them using Facebook or calling, despite all communication being via email to that point and using their business email from their website. Never been dictated to before by a business about how I should complain 😂! Told me my review was inappropriate as related to issue in October. Told me I was unkind for leaving a negative review as he was a small business. Told me none of the problems were his fault, was all staff, equipment or supplier issues, and the email system broke, why he didn't follow up with me. We received a poor service before, during and after our meal. We are not rich people and £125 was a lot of money to me, and this was supposed to be a big treat for my boyfriend's birthday, which was completely ruined by the food quality and service that night. I was then given a lot of excuses and blame, including blaming me, as above, instead of just the owner taking accountability and dealing with the complaint professionally. If you want a good review, you need to treat customers with courtesy and provide a good service. Being a small business is not an excuse for proving poor service and then being rude to customers. That is why I'm leaving the negative review, not because I'm trying to sabotage a small business. I do not often leave bad reviews, but I do really object to being "told-off" by a business for relating a genuine experience, that we paid a lot of money for. They did offer another free meal, but all considered, we're not going back.

Fantastic food. Very short of staff, service was terrible sadly. Would go again and recommend unless you’re in a hurry.

The best roast dinner I’ve ever had.

Fantastic Sunday roast, reasonably priced drinks, lovely atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

Shared a tomahawk steak for a birthday meal, it was perfection! The halloumi fries are also outstanding. Excellent choice of cocktails and Nokota Ipa on tap! Very lucky to have this gem on our doorstep.

Great small plates and friendly staff. The cocktails alone are worth the visit!

A star find...... Very hungry after a walk along the canal and found this gem. Roast dinner was ordered and what a tasty one it was. Really good quality meat (veggie choice if it's your bag) and fresh vegetables with proper home made yorkie pud and gravy. Extras available but be sure to have an appetite if you start adding items. Indulged in a cheese board afterward and it was a very good quality board indeed. Would visit regularly if not 4 hours away in each direction but will return anytime I'm passing. Fantastic staff and clearly a well oiled team as service fiod and drink were spot on. Definitely book to avoid disappointment and a big thank you to all involved in a wonderful experience

We would give 6 stars if we could. The pork belly and the lamb rump are amogst the best we've ever had anywhere in the world. We'll be back, for sure!

Fab restaurant for date night, fantastic meal really lovely staff.

Good service very efficient and friendly. Food was quite good some of it a bit over cooked. The chicken was nuked, fortunately the person in our party who ordered it likes it that way. Reasonable prices and nice atmosphere

Lovely place to eat, gorgeous food and cocktails 🍸 😋

I was having a nice time the Atmosphere was good .

Really nice foods. Really frienfly staff. Had a great time

We had a delicious dinner at The Chapel St, although we had a wait for food yhe steak and burger was amazing! Great choice of cocktails and beautifully decorated restaurant.

Amazing place! Food was 10/10 and the staff very friendly. All cooked fresh and loved all of it. Will definitely be back 🥰

Bit crowded, so very tight for space. Really high quality cooking and extremely good value, let down by chaotic service. Sort that out and this place is a real gem.

Amazing evening with 5 star service! Thank you so much for making my friends birthday an awesome evening! Food and service were great, best we have have had in a long time!👍🏼

Absolutely class! Jordan on point 👌 Chef outstanding, atmosphere perfect Thank you Mike Dave Emily and Rach

What a find. Dreamy atmosphere, lovely staff, and food to die for. Will definitely be coming back, only next time with friends. The world needs to know about this little gem of a restaurant. 10/10

Great food. Value for money. Romantic atmosphere!

Great food and drink in a beautiful place

Sharing platters are great. We had 3 of them for 3 of us and polished them off! Not a large venue so anymore than a table of 4 could be a squeeze? Cocktails lovely too. We returned here for a second helping and the food and staff were great however it is an intimate restaurant and I have knocked a star off as another guest rocked up with a dog. If there were a dog area and other guests could choose not to eat in that section no problem but we don't want someone elses pooch looking longingly at our dinner please!

Iv never had such an incredible cocktail, the young man I believe his name is Lee is phenomenal he had many customers, all by himself! , every made cocktail I has was to perfection! Really enjoyed our trip to North wales, we will be back to visit chapel Street bar and grill

Worst experience we have ever had in a restaurant. Service was awful and the staff were obnoxious.

Fantastic Father’s Day meal for 11 of us including 3 children. Staff were lovely and food was amazing and excellent value - will definitely be back! Thank You!

Amazing place great food and great service and excellent staff 😀 thanks 👏

Lovely meal once again, thank you Chapel Street. Don't visit if you are expecting super fast food and quick in and out service as this is so many levels above. Belly pork super tender and juicy, burger was probably the best I've ever eaten. All sides and drinks superb 👌 Lovely attentive friendly staff. Not our 1st visit and every trip the food has been excellent.

What can I say? After 2 previous meals I have recommended it to many people. But after todays experience I won't again. Service was so slow, 90 mins with just 1 drink despite repeated attempts to ask for more. Food was mediocre, lamb and pork so dry, nothing on the plate resembling any sauce or fluid. We had to ask for water to wash it down, which itself took ages to appear. I'm sad to say a negative experience, so far 1 out of 3, not sure I will try again. Other people served and left before us. I just hope this was a one off

Lovely food, we will be back to try the tapas next time. Please try it won't disappoint.

Small dining area but beautifully decorated. Lovely delicious food. Need to go back to try more dishes.

Our first time at this restaurant was a experience to share with others...The food menu is varied and will suit all palates..The staff very courteous and helpful also the bar has a fantastic drink and cocktail menu...I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment

Our friend booked a table for the four of us to finish off a birthday celebration. The food was absolutely first class. The staff were excellent too. Highly recommended.

Booked a table and then they rang back a week later to say that there was no table for us. Very poor internal communication.

Just Fabulous! We went to Chapel St Bar & Kitchen quite by chance on Saturday evening. The tapas dishes we had were delicious and different, the staff were helpful and friendly and prices were reasonable. We would absolutely recommend it and we will definitely be back!

Really, genuinely tasty food. Good service and prices.

Excellent service excellent food .lovely building great seating. Realy enjoyed are meal. Love to go back also not to expensive

Really friendly staff. Was there and I loved the cocktails and food. Will be coming back soon ❤️

Had a good dinner. Will be comeing again!

Visited for Sunday lunch menu. Food was ok when it eventually arrived. We waited 45 minutes between a set menu two course, had to speak to the staff on multiple occasions to find out where food was. One dessert was forgotten about and staff had to be reminded of the order. Not acceptable in an off season Sunday.

Fantastic food. Ace cocktails. Great service. Would recommend! 😀😀😀

The Sunday roast was lovely and don't forget to ask for the mash potato it's great.

Quite a nice place friendly helpful staff.

Beautiful cocktails and incredible food at a reasonable price for what you get. The service was absolutely lovely and the atmosphere was top notch. We had a wonderful New Year's Eve here and will definitely be back if we ever find ourselves in Llangollen.

Very cosy and charming restaurant with great food, perfect to share!

Had a meal there last night, very slow service, meal was very tasty though but portion size was small especially the sharing charcuterie board but forgot to give humus and flatbread with it, that came after once we asked about it, a bit disappointing, but couldn’t fault the taste.

Place is fantastic inside and food great. Would off given 5 star but one staff member I think was having a off day.

The Tapas here is superb, would thoroughly recommend. Great chef, great food. Good portions, friendly staff. And all at a great price.... they do a good line in cocktails too!

As soon as we walked through the door it felt so warm and welcoming. The staff were very nice. The food amazing.

We had a nice evening here. Tapas was really tasty. The staff were struggling a little although one of them was working incredibly hard.

Excellent friendly service. Great value for money.Top quality food

Amazing, cocktail amazing, staff amazing, macaroni cheese very amazing, strongly recommend

This was without a doubt the best gambas I've ever tasted in my life. Really glad we found this place as its not on the main high street. Service was amazing , really good value . Open a yorkshire branch and we would be there very week 😀

Wow. What can I say. The place, the setting, the decor all add up to a fantastic experience. Cocktails are superb, the staff are fantastic. Friendly and happy to engage in a conversation. Now for the food. Just look at the photos. Honestly some of the best well cooked well presented and the best tasting food I've had in Llangollen for a long time. And I've been coming here for over 20 years. It's just what Llangollen needs. It's fantastic. Big 👍👍👍👍 to the owner the staff and the People behind such a fantastic place to wine and dine. I shall be returning very very soon. I applaud you all

Lovely food, friendly staff and excellent atmosphere.

Stopped here for a drink and a bite to eat whilst in Llangollen, beautiful little place, very quaint. Cocktails were phenomenal and every grazing plate we had was lovely. Crispy chicken wings and the calamari was excellent.

Great Customer Service and amazing drinks!

Lovely bar on 2 floors and a welcome sun trap at 6pm on a cold and windy day.

Excellent food. Great choices for vegetarian, vegan and meat eaters alike. Lovely ambiance and a welcome addition to Llangollen
