Northgates in Cheshire West and Chester

Wonderful cocktails and the best crisp butty in the world.

Honestly one of the most welcoming bars i have visited. Tony and the team are absolutely amazing! Definitely recommend Northgates for anyone wanting an independent bar with lots of character.

Amazing atmosphere / vibe! Staff are absolutely lovely!

Sunday dinner very good value for money and very tasty, would recommend!!

I came here before heading to the theatre, having always been from the Chester area and being in town often I am surprised this is my first visit and I was so happy with everything the staff were lovely and the passion fruit martini was very tasty and the largest I have ever seen as it was a Friday the cocktails were full price but £9.50 for a passion fruit martini which was nearly double the size of anywhere else is a bargain. Sadly I didn't eat here but saw others and the pie looked lovely.

Came here for food and was put off by the price of the drinks, considering next door is less than half the price! Online it states it’s open until 11pm but got asked to drink up around 9:45pm. If next door open a kitchen then they’re more than likely going out of business if there not already, such a shame really as it had really good potential clearly the owner doesn’t have a clue and it’s clear no market research has ever been done.

A great little wine bar, Great staff, good selection of drinks and best cocktails in town, Food is freshly cooked and very nice. a real must if visiting Chester. Just a great place to sit relax and people watch.

Had the best sticky chicken fries x the staff are amazing and friendly and nothing is to much trouble x really recommend this little wine bar x will definitely be back

My favorite bar in town! I can happily go there on my own, or with friends. The team there are amazing and Tony the manager is one of the nicest people I have ever met ❤️ perfect for a glass of wine or the best margarita in Chester!

This is a great bar, really friendly and welcoming. Had a Sunday roast and was amazing

Lovely snug bar with huge character! Welcoming staff, amazing choice of drinks. The owner Tony is friendly and full of life ❤️ food is well presented and good value for money. Live entertainment and great music. This bar is a credit to Chester!

What can I say, I love this bar, every time I’ve been, we’ve met friends who we’ve not seen for years, such a friendly bar with delightful staff and amazing fresh cocktails. The food is absolutely lovely and Tony’s smile lights up the bar. Highly recommend a visit, right in the centre of Chester opposite the new market.

Many great bars in Chester this is one of them nice and cozy bar staff very friendly sofa very comfy 😎 would recommend a visit on your travels 🍻🕺👍

Always a friendly welcome. Amazing atmosphere. Excellent service. Fantastic drinks. And the roast dinner is top notch. We'll done guys. Keep up the good work

Such a beautiful place!! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Beautiful place with amazing atmosphere. Staff and people are lovely.

Poor all round, service was awful, didn’t listen and got our order wrong 3 times. Food was ok , really a bar with a restaurant at the back, would never go back or recommend.

Had a great time at Northgates! Came in for some cocktails and ended up singing and dancing Christmas songs with the rest of the bar. The owner is absolutely lovely and very welcoming - plus the drinks are fab! Looking forward to coming back soon.

Second visit to Northgates on a Friday evening recently, it was their first year anniversary, welcomed by the owner, a warm friendly welcome, music and dancing and great service on the bar, two ladies behind the bar were very friendly, as was the DJ. Great atmosphere, this is our new go to, when in Chester. Lovely cocktails.

This little bar is the bomb. Very friendly, great lively atmosphere, lots of fun. Tony is one of the loveliest people you’ll ever meet. Once you’ve been you’ll want to go back.

Brilliant little bar/bistro, serving great cocktails and food. Super-friendly service too.

I wandered in here yesterday afternoon for the first time. I was drawn in by the people in there laughing and having fun 😁 I thought "I'm here for that" and went in 😆 I was greeted by three, happy, smiling people with great energy..! They all made me feel so welcome there and I felt very safe. The coffee was good (lotus biscuit included - Nice 😋) I will almost certainly be back, hopefully at night where I can sample a few cocktails 🍸 😅 Thanks for yesterday guys and keep up the good work ✨️

Love this place, Tony the owner is ace so helpful accommodating. cocktails are fab cannot wait to go back. Good vibes ace music & requests welcome x Adele

Absolutely love this place, it's such a hidden gem. The owners and staff are always welcoming and friendly. Great atmosphere and live music on Fridays. Cocktails are delicious and the nibbles we've had have been very tasty. Whether you're looking for a coffee and a spot of people watching, Cocktails and live music or anything in-between then this is definitely worth a visit!
