Truly horrific. Seems to have almost permanent karaoke. Clientele as you’d expect. Who does Karaoke on a Sunday afternoon. Not normal. Depressing hole.

The pubs not bad tbf, I remember it from the 80’s when it was great, but if you enjoy karaoke, I wouldn’t bother, you need to be hardcore local/regular to be even in with a chance of having a go. We sat here watching the karaoke guy put locals up a few times after being told we couldn’t sing due to him having to many lined up. Oh, by the way, the pub wasn’t even that busy. Don’t think we’ll bother again which is a shame as I have fond memories of this place.

Popped in this evening, 19th November as friend loves karaoke. Friendly staff at Bar, busy evening, nice atmosphere. By mistake I sat behind the karaoke gentleman, not realising it was a forbidden area to sit. I was asked to move, as it was not for Customers and under his breath "not for the likes of you". I moved. My friend had a wonderful time, we were dressed nicely and we were not aggressive or unkind Customers. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for the karaoke gentlemen. Whilst waiting for a lift outside, I was accosted verbally by a lady regarding the karaoke gentlemen, and the gent came out himself to tell me to ***k off, the 2 security officers heard him say the words. It was obvious that I am not an agressive patron. My complaint is not about not being allowed to sit near the karaoke but the comment Under his breath "not for the likes of you". So I am happy to f***k off and spend my money elsewhere.

My twin brother Stephen and I were pub hopping around this part of Chester when we decided to drop into The Oddfellows Arms,a pub we've been to on many occasions over the years. A traditional pub,multi roomed ,tv's to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options,a well established pub. We ordered a Carling beer each,grabbed a table and chilled out. My beer was ok ,not my normal tipple,more a real ale and craft beer fan myself but it was nice,iced cold and sparkling ,cut right through the thirst. We enjoyed our beers before we moved on. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,open from 11am.

The Oddfellow Arms is a traditional pub on Frodsham street that offers a fine range of well priced drinks and was one of the most local pubs we visited in Chester. Housed in a traditional building'the inside has a multi-roomed lay-out with nice decor and good seating options.We have visited here many times over the years as it serves well priced beers. When we went here this pub was very lively and it took a few minutes getting served as there was only one bar staff on. Hats off to her as she was rushed off her feet and she eventually served us a few glasses of bitter from the John Smith's brewery which were served in perfect condition and well priced for a pub in Chester. The Oddfellows Arms is a brilliant pub that won't be to everyones taste but I like these pubs as they are local pubs with nice staff and friendly clientele and is easy to locate from bus exchange its a short walk.(This is my first review of the Oddfellows Arms). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-11.00-23.00. Friday-Saturday-11.00-00.00. Sunday-11.00-23.00. Nearest Bus Stop. Bus Exchange bus stop.

Gran restaurante Nos alojamos en el hotel por una noche y comimos en el restaurante del hotel. La comida en el restaurante era fabulosa, ambos disfrutamos el primer plato y el plato principal y el servicio también fue bueno.El hotel dejaba un poco que desear al ser honesto, un entorno agradable con una habitación agradable y una buena ubicación, pero desafortunadamente una fuga del aire acondicionado significaba que había agua goteando del techo. Lo informamos a la recepción, pero no tenían habitaciones para trasladarnos, así que nos quedamos atrapados con el sonido del goteo toda la noche, en una cama incómoda. Recibimos un reembolso parcial de la habitación a la mañana siguiente, pero aún así no podemos darle más de 3 estrellas por ese motivo.

The Oddfellows Arms is a wonderful locals pub located close to Chester Canal, a pub I always look forward to visiting on any trip to this historic walled city I take. I love the look of this pub,a very traditional interior, wooden floors,a small serving bar,nice decor and furnishings, tv's to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside in their cool beer garden,its a really good pub to unwind in. My twin brother Stephen and I were here on a Wednesday afternoon, greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of staff, we both opted to have a cider each and chose Strongbow dark fruit cider, these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back,chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. I really enjoy a cold cider,this fruit cider really cut through the thirst, very refreshing,it was just so good sipping a tasty cider,planning out the day ahead in such a wonderful pub. We both really enjoyed our ciders in here and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Oddfellows Arms Pub is easy to locate along Frodsham Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, 11am till 11pm. A great pub,if your in the area most definitely well worth a visit.

You know it's going to be a certain type of pub when there are mobility scooters parked outside beneath the pub windows. I love this type of rough and ready boozer though my companions had mixed emotions about entering, I gave them all a quick blast of enthusiasm and we were in. It was full of people at varying levels of drunkenness. There was some karaoke action and someone started doing an awful rendition of Number Of The Beast. We just had to join in and help them destroy it. See the attached photo of us with the singer, he's the one proudly displaying both of his teeth whilst wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt. There was a great atmosphere in here, though I would say it's not the place for intellectual discussion or seeking attractive members of the opposite sex. However I'd definitely return again for the crack, it's full of interesting characters. Give it a go, it's also cheap.

Chester has a justifiably famous reputation for its great old pubs and The Oddfellows Arms Pub is a great example of the type of pub to be found here. This pub has a great interior, a proper pubby look to it,beer posters and enamels adorn the walls,eclectic decor and furnishings including a cool looking serving bar and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outback in their cool little courtyard, it's a proper locals hangout,a fun pub to visit. My twin brother Stephen and I were wandering around this part of town and decided to drop into The Oddfellows Arms Pub for a quick drink,greeted by a very pleasant member of staff, we chose to have a John Smiths bitter each, these were served in tip top condition, we just kicked back and soaked up the great vibe in this pub. My John Smiths bitter was superb,it's a smooth beer style that's very easy to drink, it made a nice change from the more lager style beers we had been drinking earlier on in the day. We moved on after our delicious John Smiths bitter and as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Oddfellows Arms Pub is easy to locate on Frodsham Street, it's very close to Chester Canal. A great pub,well worth checking out if your in the area.

Food was brilliant as always Service on the other hand was horrendous. I expected to wait 5/6 minuties for a take a way Yorkshire Pudding Wrap but ended up waiting 20 minutes. Staff disappeared for 5 minutes before starting to make my food then took forever to make it. And then when it came to wrapping it up for me to take away, I have never seen someone take so long to wrap up some food. By this point I was so annoyed I thought I’d time how long it took to wrap it in paper; 1 and a half minutes - TO PUT A WRAP IN SOME PAPER. Now obviously I could have asked for a refund, but: 1. I no longer had time as I had to get back to work. 2. They most likely wouldn’t have given me the food if I asked for a refund and I had no time to go somewhere else. I have supported this establishment many times over the years but unfortunately I will taking my business to a different bakery now.
