Homebrew Tap Hoole in Cheshire West and Chester

Love this place! It's such a great atmosphere, nothing is too much trouble and the range of drinks is seriously impressive!! A real asset in Hoole!

Favourite place to hang out in Hoole. Jarron and his team are the best. Recently had my birthday celebrations there and they looked after us so well. Not only is the beer and wine great but the margs are amazing too!

Fabulous bar with the most amazing friendly staff and top beers, nice wine, a good selection of gins and a tasty margarita would certainly recommend for a nice night out or a casual drink. The food collab events are also amazing - well thought out and executed. The rest of the time it is strictly crisps and nuts. Jarron and the team are knowledgeable and so helpful. A must visit

We were lucky to have the Homebrew Tap do our drinks catering at our wedding recently and they were a great success. I've been stopping in to the Tap at the end of dog walks for a few years now and they were my first choice when it came to drinks for the wedding. Working with Jarron during the months before made the whole process very straightforward as he has a wealth of knowledge mixed with an honest and friendly professionalism. On the day itself, things couldn't have gone any better. The drink choices were superb and the service was impeccable. We really can't recommend them highly enough both as a catering team and a pub.

We come here often for a couple of chilled drinks & love it so much - family & dog friendly, the loveliest staff so friendly , the feel of this place is so great, this bank hol weekend was just brilliant they had a DJ event Fri sat & sun we came every day! Different genre each day and just so chilled to sit listen to with so many lovely like minded people. They had locally baked pies available for those who were hungry and the cocktails made fresh & so yummy! Couldn’t rate this place more, the vibe is perfect & super happy we have it around the corner from our home

Helped develop an already solid hoole community into what it is today. Visited by all the locals for the seasonal events. (Light switch on for example) they do delightful events with local shops providing top tier food with beer or wine pairings! We as a local community are lucky to have them.

Used to be a great place and a favourite of mine. Beers are usually good and there’s usually a good selection to choose from. It’s comfortable and a nice place to be. The issues are with the staff and the pricing. Twice now I’ve been overcharged, most recently the price displayed was incorrect but not honoured. Staff seem to be disinterested. Also on a recent visit a staff member tried to offer a beer as a low alcohol (0.5%) which was actually over 5% (it was a 0.5 litre bottle). Some staff training and some care with the pricing and this place can be great again.

Lots of beers to choose from. Which pleased the hubby. Only one draught cider though.

Incredible little local that has added so much to Hoole, which was already pretty good! Often pop in for a pint on a dog walk or with the family (the snacks, coffee and babyccinos are good too!) or for one of their events teaming up with other local independents in the area. The recent Taco evening with Bear Bakery was something else. Great beers and cocktails and the food was out of this world. Can't wait for the next one!

They have a great selection of beer that is regularly changing, aswell as wine and cocktails! The staff are very friendly and always give great suggestions. They often have events involving local businesses such as wine and cheese nights from the local deli and Taco night. The atmosphere is great and very dog friendly.

We absolutely love this place! Atmosphere & drinks - always a 10/10! We’ve been to all of their limited time themed events - the taco one being the latest and honestly the food was insane! Would absolutely recommend - always a great pint with lots of choice!

Went to the recent taco night, food was absolutely delicious, staff were friendly and engaged as always

Great staff, nice atmosphere. Not a traditional pub, it’s a tap room. Extremely welcoming to families dogs and babies etc, we go all the time.

Friendly and helpful staff, delicious beer that isn’t run of the mill.

This has become my favourite bar outside of town, and even managed to convert my wife to a believer! Team behind the bar are brilliant and highly knowledgeable of the beers. Menu changed regularly, and never a bad thing! Really recommend to anyone who wants to get involved in craft ales, or anyone just passing

Really knowledgeable bar staff, lots of options for those who aren't sure what they might like.

Lively atmosphere, good selection of beers, great service. Would recomend adding some soft furnishings on the walls as it can get really loud at times.

Decent option for craft style beer around Hoole. They have a lot of similar light beers and lagers at the expense of darker beers to my partner’s chagrin. She ends up buying expensive cans of overly strong stout from the fridge. I agree with the other reviewer about the acoustics. If it’s full it sounds like you’re in a football stadium!

Very welcoming & helpful staff,beers & ciders unexpectedly good after going in some of the other local pubs where the beers were very disappointing

Cracking beer selection, both on draft and in the fridge, staff are really friendly and knowledgeable and it's a great place for a relaxed pint!

Good beer but too many dogs spoilt the visit.

Great beer, nice team & dog friendly :)

Best place in Hoole. Now also serving cocktails. Do some great pastries on the bar too. Perfect with a coffee early in the day.

We didn't have food, not even sure they do food 😅 love this bar though, so relaxed and full of dogs ❤️ amazing choice of beer's and atmosphere always chilled and happy, staff are always really welcoming and friendly 😀

Guys I can't comment on the drinks but listen whilst the weather is warm or even when not , in your window you NEED to advertise your iced coffees. Because they are the best and biggest in Chester and Hoole. The coffee you use is fantastic and mixes smooth with the milk. Trust me you hose down all the other cafes in the area. The other places give you measley amounts especially that pig one and Costa is just vomit.Get it advertised! There's also other milk for the weirdos.

Something about the acoustics makes this place quite loud and it is expensive, however, I do like it on the whole and love the selection of craft beers.

Love the atmosphere and drink choice. Only issue is people vape in here and staff dont tell them not too. Haven't we learnt the lesson of breathing in the toxic fumes of others?

Reasonable place. Shame the beer board is the opposite ends of the building to the bar. Decent choice of beers. Dog friendly. Plenty of seating although it can get quite loud

Amazing selection of drinks. Staff are fantastic

Really nice atmosphere, friendly service and a good selection of drinks to try. Dog friendly

Great place, with a friendly vibe. Good selection of beers and cocktails. Staff were super friendly and I'm keen to go back next time I'm in Chester.

I've visited twice and can't wait to visit a third time. Plenty on offer great atmosphere and friendly staff

Great selection of beer and changed frequently. Prices are a little high for some of the craft beers and it can get quite load due to being open plan, but definitely the top night spot in Hoole.

The best place in Hoole by far serving the best drinks, staff are out of this world and let's dogs in who can lose

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and warm friendly welcome, will be back soon 😊

Relaxed atmosphere and really enjoyable visit

Fabulous, relaxed and chilled vibe...great staff.

Great atmosphere, nice interior and good range of beer all capped off with friendly and inviting staff. Great place, would recommend

excellent friendly service 👌 brilliant tonight as always

This is a great little place, very simple inside but very welcoming still. Lots of chairs, tables and stool window seating. The beer is very good and varied. The only thing I would ask for is a beer menu. The staff are always ready to explain and help but a beer menu with notes would help a lot. I can't see very well so the taps against the back wall whilst colourful are ultimately illegible.. Dog friendly and me and Sheba do enjoy it. Water and biscuits are always offered. 👍

Great atmosphere, and friendly helpful staff and management. Great choice of beers and good coffee too. A must place to go if you're in Hoole

It's...nice staff are friendly yet the building lacks an atmosphere, its clean as to the wc(always a plus) but I cant put my finger on it there is something missing ? ...will I go again yes of course, do I recommend...yes go its a nice place.

Good place to drink beer but quite noisy. Been back quite a few times and always enjoyed it

Nice place could do with a last orders bell but friendly staff and good selection of beers

Great selection of beers from around the world and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Quality beer and even better staff

Marvellous simple bar, enthusiastically dog-friendly and a single but perfect real ale.

Great collection of ales, well kept, well priced.

Lacking atmosphere. Huge space very loud and echoey. Music to loud to hold a conversation expensive

Good range of beers, knowledgable, friendly staff, definitely worth a visit

A vibrant little watering hole with plenty of different brews on offer . Good find 🍻
