Oddfellows Arms in Cheshire West and Chester

Brilliant pub staff are far to slow need more because its packed having to wait ages to be served

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

Lovely cozy little pub friendly staff and efficient service. Decent selection of drinks however no cask ale offered and maybe another cider option

Great pub, full of characters !

Bar staff were fabulous, karaoke night , brilliant

It was a pub. Dog friendly so that was a bonus

Great pub atmosphere. Called in on a Saturday night could hear the karaoke from outside . Served quick and drinks reasonably priced

Brilliant pub great staff and atmosphere is brilliant love this pub really do. Great owner love Llyod to bits he's a great man and always as been

What a brilliant atmosphere. It was packed to the rafters. Absolutely fantastic night.

Great atmosphere, great music such great place to meet xxx

Awful. Mouldy skylights, sticky floor, clientele like a goblin market.

Apply named seing as they me in, and a very nice pint it was too.

Mostly lovely, however, a couple of really overbearing nasty customers security was good

Good little local, friendly staff.

Great pub. Friendly and great service

"proper" pub, great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the Karaoke.

Customers are friendly. I fully enjoyed there.

Great pub, I would describe as a local, great service, drinks and entertainment 👏👏

A visit unfortunately spoilt by a very obnoxious man at the bar. We called in for a quiet drink which unfortunately wasn't to be on this occasion.

Nice old timey pub, very friendly bartender. Lots of offers on drinks

Great place, friendly and helpful staff, plus karaoke what could go wrong lol

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.

Love this old cute place. Old horse stables out back. Place is amazzing. Real pub with great beer. A Reàl pub. Enjoy your night

Awesome pub. Great customers All chatted about Thailand and bits. Girl was going on hoiday

Love the karaoke, atmosphere was jumping lots of great music lots of locals singing very welcoming place great in the summer with the beer garden out the back

Lovely place and lovely staff. Warm and welcoming

Great little pub with friendly staff and Friday karaoke

Hard to review old school pubs, Darts football, bear garden and a friendly atmosphere what else do you actually want in a pub

Ok pub but needs to get rid of some of the customers.

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.

Awful needs condeming, should have a health warning everything is bad, just called in with friends on way home sorry we did, it used to be lovely years ago won't b going back

Gave me the wrong drink which I didn’t order and said they can’t change it other then if I pay another £4 then they can it’s appauling

Lovely bar, lots of lovely people

Great night , lovely bar staff fantastic karaoke

Good atmosphere, great karaoke bar

Down to earth pub. Nice bar staff

Myself and a friend popped in on Tuesday 22nd March there was a stale smell looked loke it needs a good scub the floor the glass panes in the front door were dirty, hence we turned around and left...

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.

Called in for 1 last drink b4 going back to r hotel. Small pub, more for older customers

The man behind the bar was rude I was stood their for a good 5 minutes before he acknowledged me and their was no one at the bar he could see me and I had to ask for a drink..and the toilet was discussing I would not recommend this pub

Love the pub. Very friendly atmosphere.

Had a great night on Friday, good karaoke, good beer 😁👍

Small pub, no craft ale, standard lager options.

A cosy old place close to the city centre, with friendly staff and a great view out onto the busy shopping streets. Perfect for a pit stop!

A cosy old pub close to the city centre, ideal for having a pit stop during your city exploration and watching the busy shopping streets outside. Not cheap, but very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

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.

I've had enough to drink I thought, I'll have half a lemonade. £3.10 A p*ss take. I'll never come back here.

Awesome atmosphere and excellent service!!

My old friends in Oddfellows Arms

Nice pub, good atmosphere friendly staff reasonably priced too

Very nice old fashioned pub great staff and a cracking pint.

A typical rough city boozer with "shameless" type of clientele. Keep your hand on your wallet.

Nice little old Pub staff was friendly

Nice and friendly. Great beers.

Friendly service but not the best beer

Great pub & good entertainment : )

Quiet but nice pub. Lovely bar lady .

An old fashioned pub, friendly staff and customers, beer was good at a fair price.

Karoke is always great fun and good atmosphere.

Lovely place to have a lovely pint

Lovely staff. Enjoyed an hour here.

We had such a great time in this old fashioned pub the bartender Chelsea I think her name was she was so busy with no help or Break no staff to help her she ran the pub perfectly by her self it just upsetting to see she doesn’t get a break all thought a Sunday bless her she works her bum off all day

Proper pub well run by Chelsea. Nice drinks at good prices. Full of characters. Will visit again soon. Keep up the good work x.

Not bad sells beer and good music

Needs to be sorted toilets are discussing need sorting and it expensive

It's an older generation of people so nice quiet drink

Full of characters and great staff. We popped to a few bars in a group of 6 and we had to most fun here. Track and trace and covid regulations all adhered to. Looking forward to returning.

A friendly old style pub. It's a small place, but pleasant when not too busy.

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.

We went the day it opened after lockdown and the way it has been set up to ensure social distancing is really well done. The staff are amazing here also. Will be back again soon x

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.

Fabulously quirky, a totally unique venue for parties meet ups and I believe weddings too. Staff couldn't be more charming and helpful and the food is excellent and very different.

Went inside as looked very busy and lively from the outside & inside it is a typical traditional English pub, full of locals. We had a great time, karaoke was on, which was great fun to listen and sing along to. Bar staff very friendly and prices excellent for a city. All the locals and everyone very friendly. Had a great night and we were recommended where to go to carry on having a great time!!!

Proper pub with great beers and entertainment

Good service, a bit cramped but Chester Race day.

Good dj on a Saturday night karaoke lovely people bar staff so lovely its a good night cant be missed

Very nice pub and the staff were very friendly

Expensive... £3.85 for a newky brown, ran out of draught beer cept vold smiths or lager....once bitten eh !

Fun pub. Karaoke saturday night.

Good pub like singing in there.thanks to the DJ on a Saturday night...

Fantastic down to earth drinking pub. Brilliant !!!!!

They have karaoke and an outside area.Also different seating areas.it is bigger than it looks,😁👍🕺.

The odd fellows is a great place to socially meet the people of Chester and the staff are great un like the city who charge what like for the same drink a difference of 60 to 70 pence each time stick with the oddies all the time great staff and great people who drink there

Had a few drinks here after a trip to the races. No issues with the place

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.

Oh Dear. Flat beer and racist comments from the clientele.

What a gem of a place, we had a really fun night, such a welcoming and friendly pub.

This is what I call a proper pub,fab bar staff,great atmosphere,only went in for a couple,7 pints later still in there!!!

Uncomplicated throw back to what pub should be like. Would have liked a bigger cask ale selection, but the Old Speckled Hen was worthy.

Well it was an experience to say the least haha

Rough as chuff but had a good time. One woman was banned from other pubs for being finger blasted.

Typical corner boozer. Very friendly and good seevice

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.

Crazy characters in here, with karaoke on a Saturday night.

Ideal location good wholesome food ...warm welcome
