A busy student type pub in the student area of Chester. I am not a student.......... Not a great selection of beers and a bit pricey for what you get. Large outdoor area with lots of seating. Has a small shelter for if it is raining. On street parking only. No sign of them currently doing food. They do have the football on, if that is your thing.

Really like this place. I used to go a lot years ago with work friends. Popped in today after work, only stayed for one drink, but was taken aback by the price - £4.45 for a pint of lager. I know a lot of pubs are struggling and have difficulty because of the competition from the main UK chain of pubs, but it seems a bit excessive. I have no complaints about the pub itself, just the prices.

Mi hermano gemelo Stephen y yo estábamos visitando algunos de los grandes pubs en lo que se conoce como Garden Quarter of Chester y un viaje a The Bouverie Arms Pub siempre estuvo en la parte superior de nuestra lista de pubs para visitar, un pub cálido y acogedor. Me encanta el aspecto de este pub, un pub de aspecto tradicional, un interior impecable, la sala principal está dominada por una barra de servicio de madera maciza, una excelente decoración y muebles que incluyen televisores para disfrutar del deporte y muchas opciones de asientos repartidas por todo este pub todo ubicado en un hermoso edificio, un gran pub para relajarse. Mi hermano gemelo Stephen y yo estuvimos aquí un miércoles por la noche, el pub estaba muy ocupado con un gran ambiente, recibido calurosamente por un miembro del personal muy agradable, después de un rápido estudio de sus cervezas, ambos optamos por tomar una cerveza ligera cada uno, Fuimos por la cerveza Birra Moretti, esta excelente cerveza italiana se sirvió en excelentes condiciones, fría y espumosa, y simplemente nos relajamos, nos relajamos y disfrutamos del gran pub en el que estábamos. Mi cerveza era excelente, una cerveza estilo lager crujiente, bien equilibrada, llena de sabor, muy fácil de beber, un estilo de cerveza que tanto a mí como a mi hermano gemelo Stephen nos gusta especialmente, mientras bebíamos nuestras cervezas ya habíamos elegido nuestra próxima cerveza. Fui por Brewdog Brewery "punk ipa" mientras que mi hermano optó por tener Tiny Rebel Brewery "Clwd tropicana" y una vez más nos sirvieron dos excelentes cervezas, mi ipa era realmente buena, en mi ciudad natal de Liverpool tenemos un bar Brewdog y Soy un visitante frecuente allí, así que he desarrollado un gusto real por sus cervezas y su ipa punk es una de mis favoritas en particular, una ipa rica, con cuerpo y llena de sabor, muy fácil de beber, una muy buena cerveza, mi hermano Stephen. También me encantó la calidad de su cerveza de Tiny Rebel Brewery. Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestras cervezas aquí antes de seguir adelante y, como en todas las demás visitas, lo pasamos muy bien. El pub Bouverie Arms es fácil de localizar a lo largo de Garden Lane. Los horarios de apertura son; De lunes a domingo, de mediodía a medianoche. Un pub maravilloso, uno que recomiendo encarecidamente que visites si estás en la zona.

Absolutely amazing place! Went for the first time with my Girlfriend; and what can I say apart from how amazed I am. My girlfriend is the pickiest eater and she ordered the Mexican Chicken Burger but asked for items removed and bacon on the side of the plate (so I could grab it for my meal!) and I ordered the Breakfast Burger, how it comes, and everything we requested was done with no hassle straight away. The food tasted absolutely delicious for both dishes, drinks reasonable prices and the staff member who served us was a really nice gent. Happy to help, have a laugh but also did everything he could to make our meal as good experience as possible. Definitely returning soon and can’t recommend enough! Thank you to the team there, and regret not going in sooner!

Considering the pub is now run by a butcher, I was really disappointed to find that my burger was not the juicy succulent good quality, well seasoned burger I though it would be. It was really bouncy and overly salty, so not enjoyable at all. The outdoor space is lovely and there's a God selection of beers, but I don't know if that's enough to bring me back.

time to STAY AWAY! Very Poor food! VERY BAD ATTITUDE TO CUSTOMERS! Just a local guy going into the pub for a burger...NEVER AGAIN! Here is what happened... Ordered a Bouverie Burger with bacon, cheese, onion rings etc, which should have come with a beer included in the price. I was vharged for the Burger as well as charging for beer When it came it was a plain burger, so I mentioned it to the barman who said”I thought you said steak burger” No, I said the second one down on the menu, a bouverie burger, oh sorry, said the barman, no offer to change it. When I later asked if the manager was here, I was told no, I then said again that I ordered the bouverie burger (cheese,bacon etc) and at this point, probably to save his ass, the barman insisted that I asked for a steak burger. He also admitted he had charged for the beer which should have been included in the price. Later the barman kept me telling me I asked for steak burger, even though he first said, sorry I thought you said steak burger. Kinda proved that he’d changed his story when later he insisted I ordered steak. So it seems that I go to a pub, spend a tenner on a rubbish burger, which was not worth eating, only to waste my tenner and then have to go elsewhere for something to eat. As I was composing this review, and after telling the barman I was writing a review, he came back after 5 minutes to offer a refund, when I said I didn’t need a refund, just good service, and he could soon read this review, he became somewhat short and stormed off SHOULD GIVEN THE BOUVE A MISS! very disappointing experience and very poor burger....
