The Brewery Tap in Cheshire West and Chester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Always excellent beer - frequently including some fine Yorkshire beers. Great to have on the doorstep! Best ham, egg and chips around!

Just about everything you'd want from a beer venue: quality ales; superb service from knowledgeable team of staff; heritage, high-ceilinged beer hall. Didn't try fare from the exciting food menu, so good reason for a next time ...

Brilliant service great food fantastic ale

Great selection of cask and keg beers and ales. Fantastic food.

Amazing pie! 🥧 and range of beers and ales to try. Beautifully restored building and very friendly staff. Will definitely be returning. Initially we had planned to go elsewhere but they didn’t have food on. We overlooked this establishment on first glance because of the signage. I think something in keeping with the history of the building would draw more attention.

The Brewery Tap is still the best pub in Chester for the range of proper beers on offer. Sometimes, the ciders are good too. It's got a lovely, unusual interior. I haven't eaten here for a while, but it looks good food wise.

Excellent range of cask beers and craft in a friendly enjoy

Brewery Tap. Ale House - delicious food - great drink. Am-bi-ence (the character & atmosphere of a place). New beers every week.

Wonderful atmosphere and selection of beers

Excellent pub in Chester, a little away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, it's quieter to enjoy delicious dishes

A great find in Chester.. Lovely historic building with a great atmosphere. Solo older female, popped in for a drink and stayed for food. Great selection of beers and some nice food. The pate was delicious. The staff very welcoming. Will go back again for sure.

Wonderful old building that now houses a brewery and bar -tastefully done. You can imagine people stopping by for a drink through the ages. Great selection of beers on tap. We didn't eat but they also had an interesting selection of bar snacks and a small cosy restaurant.

Interesting place with lots of history. There was good choice of drinks including cider, wine, beer and cocktails. The food looked great, although we didn't try it this time. Staff were friendly. There was no background music.

Always a nice visit, food is excellent, several real ales, only few yards up from the Dee.

The Brewery Tap and King’s Kitchen @ Chester, UK 💭The Brewery Tap and King’s Kitchen resides in an old Jacobean hall. It was said to have been visited by King Charles I. It was recommended to me by a local Chesterian English Heritage who was providing tour guide over at nearby Agricola Castle. English Heritage is a charity that cares for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites in Great Britain. Atmosphere: Casual, relaxed neighborhood pub and kitchen that can be found in an old Jacobean hall. Very popular with locals with take out and dine ins. Service: Order over the counter. Food and drink will be served to you. Staff is friendly, courteous and can provide good recommendations. Food: Ordered their wickedly good Sunday Beef Roast paired with their smashing Lost in Time Hazy ne Pale beer. The Sunday Roast’s beer were tender and juicy, roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, carrots and Swede mash was soft, velvety and sweet, cheesy leeks had a nice smokiness to it, Yorkshire pudding was soft and savory. It all goes well with a side of greens and horseradish. Lost in Time Hazy ne Pale beer paired really well with the Sunday beef roast . It was refreshing, fruit forward, citrus and with the right amount of bitterness from the hops. A perfect summer beer.

Up some outside steps on the first floor, this place occupies the space inside a much older high-celinged building. Plenty of tables & chairs. Good selection of craft beers on keg. Also do a fairly full food menu - I had delicious fish & chips. Prices are reasonable. Service is friendly & efficient. Highly recommended.

Really good selection of cask and some keg beers. More cans and bottles of good stuff also. Pleasant fellow behind the bar it was Monday afternoon so quiet. Well worth a visit and the prices are not too high. Visited again July 2024. Still excellent. Pay more for poorer quality in a chain up the road if you like, this place ticks all the boxes. Mrs B said the wine was really good - a rare occurrence.

Always have a great selection of beers in a great historic building. Will be back

great selection of beers set in what looks like an old hall. busy for 3pm on a Saturday, and I don't think that was down to the races. lovely dark ipa, decent prices for the beers on offer

Must be the best traditional pub in Chester. Wholesome food and great beer. Especially special at Christmas. Not accessible however, I have to carry our pram up the steps every time. Still worth it!!

Great pub, nice beer and good food.

Great food and service the best we definitely had for a long while. Lovely staff attentive and well informed. Lovely young lady served us

It was a lovely local pub that has large selection of taps and good food. Staff was really friendly too! Also, half price food on Thursday;)

The food is delicious. There are many types of beer. The prices are reasonable. On Thursdays, food is half price. The staff are pleasant. The building and interior are wonderful. Highly recommended.

This Jacobean great hall is a stunning place to chill out in on a day like this ☀️. Great choice of both cask and craft beers all listed on the Untappd App. Interesting looking menu but I’m only here for the beer. 🍺 cheers

This an unusual pub in that entrance is on the first floor. Even more unusual is that it was originally a Jacobian great hall. It's a very well done sympathetic conversion and interesting to look at. They have a great range of real ales and ciders, probably one of the best selections in Chester. The only downside of the pub is the steps. When you've had a few pints and come outside the steps down look quite steep, but it's still well worth a visit.

A nice retreat in Chester - although I've been here when busy, it was a quiet Saturday but I enjoyed this atmosphere. Main meals are competitively priced- a sandwich or snack is a decent price and tasty. The service including waitresses and bar staff (the Manager) was very good. I recommend visiting, not least because the Tudor hall is a historic venue and part of Chester's heritage (food can also be eaten in the adjacent restaurant area.

Smashing Father’s Day meal. Great food all around - fish and chips, pie and mash, and two roast dinners - all superb. Great portions, great food. Heavily recommend. Banging selection of independent beers/ales/stouts, as well.

Currently sat in bar we have had a couple of light bites which were absolutely delicious, continuing with a couple of drinks then home bound to finish off what is a lively way to spend Sunday. The 2 guys behind the bar are brilliant first class customer service. This is my favourite place to come and highly recommend

First class beer in unique setting. Go to Real ale pub in Chester.

Great choice of cider also hawkstone cider

The Sunday roast was amazing!! Definitely worth ordering if you find yourself at the brewery tap on a Sunday! The service was great, staff was very friendly and helpful.

Love this old conversion with very high ceilings and great selection of beers

Fraser and I had a private party for 90+ people to celebrate his 60th birthday on Saturday 1/6/24. Wow! The team did us proud. Chef Andy King‘s Kitchen Team gave us incredible food for all our guests, who were very satisfied and complimentary. The hospitality from all the bar and front of house staff was second to none. The venue was atmospheric for such an event and enabled everyone to experience an amazing evening, one that will be remembered by our friends. Many thanks to the Brewery Tap team.

Fantastic pub , always a good selection of beer and Whisky to choose from . Always happy and friendly staff to chat to . And fantastic food especially the bar snacks . 👍

Had a really nice Weissbeer in the Tap. Housed in one of many historic buildings in Lower Bridge St good range of beers defiantly worth a visit

I enjoyed a quiz game on Wed night here , it was very fun. Beer “thirst quencher” is the best. Good fish and chip as usual. highly recommend for any traveller like me. Reasonable price.

Nice beer but crap brown edged and limp salad, I wouldn't give this to a rabbit, the sandwich was okay but the food quality has taken a dove.

We often visit this pub / bar as offers one of the best selection of ales and craft drinks in Chester along with lovely food. We came before the racing boodles may festival on Wednesday and again had a lovely experience will be back again soon.

Probably the best place in the city. Amazing building and an amazing range of beers. Just wish I had more time.

Wonderful surroundings in this medieval hall. Lovely staff and food

A fantastic building. Very good beer selection at the bar. Even with very strong competition, probably the most beautiful pub in Chester. Can't wait to try the food.

Characteristic pub with typical dishes, excellent ham & eggs with potatoes

Was there tonight for my (ex) bosses 60th birthday and retirement function. Had a great night but had to get off early to catch a train back to the metropolis. Beer seemed reasonably priced and the fish and chips were good, although I would've preferred beans to peas- ITS A SCOUSE THING 😆. Enjoyed the food and ambience, thanks very much.

A great place for a nice lunch and a decent pint.

Along the road of the obligatory route to visit Chester you come across this place. This is a Pub. Externally it could be underestimated, to enter you have to go up a flight of stairs, but as soon as you enter the marvel. Exquisitely medieval place. Truly original, with a wide choice of craft beers. The dishes are excellent and plentiful. The fisch and chips are amazing as are the pies. Must try and it's super cool 😍

Stunning selection of beers and ciders..

Wonderful service, amazing food presentation and very very tasty dishes too! The drinking area looks historical and impressive. Highly recommended!

Excellent atmosphere, staff and beer in the fantastic historic pub.

Lovely old building with friendly atmosphere and a great beer selection.

Just had a drink, but really love this place. It's not noisy, so a great place to talk, or play board games

Great place, great beers have visited quite a few times and always go back when we visit chester staff are always friendly and helpful.

Interesting old building, big beer selection and an interesting looking menu - wish I'd had chance to sample - cheers!🍻

One of my favourite pubs. Stunning venue, great choice of excellent beers, great service.

Great range of ales etc and all reasonable priced as well my rating for this place is off the charts

Excellent pub in a medieval great hall. The on-site brewery has fantastic beers

Fantastic selection of beers! I was just passing through so only had time for a couple but I'll definitely return if I'm ever back in Chester!

Visited Chester for the weekend really enjoyed the atmosphere and the choice of beers

This location has a real Tudor feel to it, and I can imagine many flagons of fine ale were drunk here in the past. Today's hospitality is just as good - I was surprised to find a guest ale from a brewery in my home town that I didn't know existed, great food reasonably priced, and my first introduction to mead, which went down well with a cheese board.

We were recommended to drink and eat here. Couldn’t fault the beer in anyway, the food however from the bar was the complete opposite. We ordered Gyros with chicken thighs, and our friends the steak sandwich and the burger. There was hardly any meat in the Gyros, the wrap was thick and had been toasted so that it split and made eating it difficult. The burger was overcooked and dry and the steak sandwich was greasy. Admittedly we ate all the Gyros because we’d not eaten for 9 hours and were extremely hungry and it was better than nothing. We weren’t going to say anything but the fact that our friend had left most of the burger prompted the “head waitress” to came across to ask if all was okay so we told her our experience. She asked “what can we do to rectify your experience” so we said we would leave that to her to decide. It appears that rectifying the situation amounted to telling the chef. Would we go again, yes definitely for the beer and the architecture but definitely not for the bar food.

What a great find. Meal was very good, we both had burgers which were half price due to February offer. Drinks were great, location interesting. The staff though made all the difference. Our waitress was so engaging and obviously enjoyed her job. It was a 10/10 from us.

Absolutely lovely. Excellent food, good beer, amazing building, nice staff!

A wide range of tasty ale, delicious food, very friendly staff and an amazing building. Highly recommend.

I love it but hadn't been for years so popped in last week on a day trip from. Liverpool. It's even better than remembered! I didn't catch the name of the lady at the bar but she's fantastic! She knows the name and drink of everyone that came to the bar and is so welcoming. She was honestly like a hug in a human. Great at her knowledge of your gorgeous beers and went to every table to chat and check in. Her cat's name is Ruby so lots of love to her too. We need more people like her xx

Finally made it to King’s Kitchen at the Brewery Tap and the food was great as expected! Friendly staff and good atmosphere as well, will definite be back. The burger was amazing!

Atmosphere is a historic pub atmosphere, with high back seated benches and long tables with candle light on each table. The food was AMAZING!! Full of flavour, taste buds constantly wanting more with the expression everytime you eat of "Mmmm" or "wwww" Starters and Mains is what myself and my partner had and I am already looking forward to returning again. I had the Beef Burger Recommended by the Chef which was moist, flavourful and every bite was delicious 😋 and I'm not a massive burger person but 10/10!

Great food, small menu executed very well. Nice wine and beer selection and attentive staff. Would recommend

Authentic established pub, friendly staff and most of all great beer...and food! 🍻

Good personalised service, food (very good chef) and atmosphere, with a large Tudor hall hosting the bar section. The pub gets busy and it is best eating in the designated eating area which can now be booked. As there are steep stairs at the front of the building, I'm not sure about ease of access.

The food is delicious and very good value. I haven't had service that good that we had from the waitresses for a long time, they brought water without us asking and one of them went and found us some olives that weren't on the menu. The steak melted in your mouth and the chips were the best ever. Thanks to all the staff for a great evening

Great place to go! All the food dishes were lovely. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Well worth a visit.

Amazing choice of gluten free beers on tap!! Charming building to sit and enjoy a pint

22 friends visited for a Christmas Eve get together. The food was absolutely fabulous. Very tasty, perfectly cooked with excellent service. Definitely will be returning for beers and grub in the new year in the gem of a place. Perfect venue and evening. Thank you!

Great pub, magical atmosphere, especially at Christmas with the huge tree. Always feels a little too busy, but that also adds to the bustling charm.

Brilliant pub. Fantastic choice of beers, gins and whisky. Tremendous room and the Christmas tree just tops it all off. The prices are more than reasonable. A must try for all Chester visitors.

Top quality ale, whats not to like.

First time in their restaurant Kings Kitchen and definitely won't be the last, the food was amazing, very well priced and fantastic service, plus obviously the local brew.. spitting feathers its a perfect combination. It's now our favourite place to eat in Chester.

Just about the best pub in chester

Possibly the best pub in Chester. Excellent ales from Spitting Feathers, the brewery of the "Brewery Tap". Decent food too.

This is the best real ale pub in Chester in our opinion, we love it and always make a beeline for it, but some lunatic has removed the Welsh rarebit and fishcakes from the standard menu, this is sacrilage, they were fantastic ale absorbsion food, but alas it appear they are no longer, we will partition the court of human rights for there re-instatement 😂

We always come here when in Chester for the excellent beer. However on this occasion we were looking for somewhere to have lunch as well. The food could not be faulted; between us we had fish and chips, quiche and a really good ham and eggs with great chunky chips. All highly recommended. And very friendly service from the staff. My review just missed being 'excellent' because the Spitting Feathers house bitter was not available (one of the reasons we come here). This was disappointing as the beers on offer were not quite as good. Not sure why this was, but we will check beforehand next time.

Very friendly and helpful about beers and wine

One of our favourite pubs in Chester! Food is amazing, proper hearty good quality pub grub. A wide variety of high quality ales and beers on tap and an awesome atmosphere to boot. Super dog friendly too, we've been a few times now and not had a bad experience yet. The building itself is stunning inside, very tardis like. Super friendly staff. Will definitely return.

A wonderful historical building with a quality bar and a pleasant well staffed restaurant. The food is great value and beautifully presented. I would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks to all the staff. We would recommend all the food, mine was the Venison and Pheasant Shepherd's pie. Truly gorgeous.

Great modern micro brewery pub, nicely laid out with a great selection of craft beers.

Great atmosphere and great food

Great food and plentiful. I had the ham, eggs and skin on, triple cooked chunky chips and my friend the burger. Both excellent and other dishes coming from the kitchen looked equally appealing. Staff attentive and good value.

Nice service in a good place, plenty of ales to choose from.

Buona la selezione di birre, non ho ancora provato il cibo, ma ho sentito parlare molto bene del Sunday roast. L'ambiente è il vero valore aggiunto di questo pub, dove non c'è musica e la gente può finalmente chiacchiere in totale tranquillità ed armonia con l'ambiente. Da provare assolutamente

Great boozer with a good selection of ales to choose from plus a good mix of food choices on the main menu. One of our servers , Michelle , was very exuberant and a delight all evening , top marks. I had the sausage with mushroom mash , not to keen on the mash with mushrooms but that's just my personal choice and not a reflection of the food. On the plus side Mrs W was in heaven with her choice of Ham & eggs , she has not had the chance to have that type of meal in a number of years. Overall a great dining experience in a great venue and all done at a very reasonable price.

Great place do much history always go there when in chester

Large selection of both cask and keg beer. We had snack food that was very tasty. The location in a big hall on the upper floor was different in a pleasant way.

Had a few light bites but the star is the ales and the staff, very well run, knowledgeable staff and never waited more than a few minutes to be served. Choice of ale was fabulous.

Couldn’t fault our visit to The Brewery Tap. Food was amazing - fish and chips and steak pie both just perfect. But what made our experience 10/10 was the service we received from Fay. long time since we’ve had such good service - intuitive, friendly, attentive. Thank you Fay you were the icing on the cake 🙏

Friendly and very interesting little ale bar with a good choice of drink.

Good pub, full stop. Didn't have food there so can't comment.

Great beer selection, nice relaxing atmosphere

Fab old townhouse with lots of historical features and good range of keg&cask beer at reasonable prices. Food menu looks good but not sampled. Third visit and some excellent thornbridge cask pouring. (NB a number of stairs up from street for those where access is a consideration)

Just had a fantastic Sunday roast in the tap... My wife had the Spitting Feathers farm roast pork and I had roast beef. Both were superb, washed down with the tasty honey trap bitter. Add the super service it all added up to a really great experience. Thanks to you all, can't wait to do it again.
