The Dublin Packet in Cheshire West and Chester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in to The Packet for a cheeky Guinness with 2 work colleagues (well 🍺 monsters 👻!😉😂)... Just watched the Mickey Mouse Final and wanted to watch Wrexham 1st home game. Guinness was Bob on..the guys behind the bar sorted the Wrexham game out and put the Stone Roses "This is the one", just to alleviate the disappointment of losin to Ciddy and raise the spirits for YANITED 1st home game v Fulham...gr8 bar.... #UTFR

One of only Irish bars in Chester unfortunately doesn't bring the same energy as others and is overpriced. Recommend if you doing a pub crawl or few vibey drinks

Not a bad pint of Guinness, and I've been to Ireland, but I don't like talking about it

First time going in on Saturday.. one toilet was blocked with poo and a sanitary pad. The other was taped together, literally. Both were covered in black mould. And both me and my sister in law had to physically boot the door of the stall to get out. Staff were pretty miserable. We were given a glass for our ciders but decided against because they were actually filthy.

Lovely city centre pub in the heart of Chester.

Very average experience. We ordered Fish and Chips, server later informed us that they were out. I don't think the cook/chef does much real cooking. OK drink prices and fairly clean bathrooms. You probably can do better nearby.

Brilliant pub such a good laugh and karaoke was a blast! I come here quite often wit my friends to watch the sports and decided to stay for karaoke and wow what a blast we had stu is such a great guy we will Be back

Check your receipt!! I was charged £7.40 more for the same order I had made half an hour before. I was suspicious straight away because the bar staff always say how much you're paying, this staff member didn't, he then proceeded to tear off the receipt and place it in the till. I checked my banking app and noticed I'd been over charged. I challenged it and, in all fairness, I was refunded straight away. I had been charged for doubles instead of singles. I understand that mistakes happen but if I hadn't checked I would have been out of pocket. It's actually never happened to me before so I was a little annoyed and haven't darkened their door again.

Bar staff not helpful at all they were more interested in eating crisps and being on there phone behind the bar.drinks over priced a pint of carling was 4.20 and tasted disgusting Not very clean and doesn't have a great atmosphere 😕

Visited midweek for a G&T. Great drinks and good atmosphere.

Decent guinness in here, quite a busy pub only downside was the bar man appeared to be an Adele super fan and kept playing her music, bit depressing on a saturday

A nice little tucked away pub in the middle of Chester with a great atmosphere. You can easily pretend Chester doesn't exist from inside.

In with a group doing karaoke good fun

Best bar in Chester by a country mile, Emma is a Gem

Lovely place great staff and friendly if you want to watch sports good place to go

Good old fashioned traditional pub/bar serving beers wines and spirits...I had a Guinness which was served to perfection,its a pity some other places can't do the same with my favorite tipple so if you love the Black stuff dont miss or walk past this great little bar.

A pub with moderate character but over-abundance of screens. The lunch was OK but the portions very small. Leaving the front door propped open in mid - February may increase footfall, but makes for a frigid dining experience.

Was quite in a Sunday, sport in the telly, and a nice Guinness

Give the roast dinner a miss. Frozen veg, greasy watery gravy, tough meat, and everything tasted the same. It was a very poor toast dinner, we should have realised when we went in there on a Sunday lunchtime and it was very quiet and nobody else was eating. Staff were lovely and friendly but go elsewhere for your roast, sorry.

Awful Sunday roast! We called in for a few drinks on a day out to Chester & decided to try the Sunday lunch but a terrible mistake as the order was wrong, then by the time we had waited for it to be rectified the rest of it was barely warm The beef was really tough. The lamb chops were so thin & fatty. The chicken was just a chicken steak too. They did appear to be short staffed as only one barman & one chef we presumed.

Only called in for drinks,but good music in background and reasonable priced drinks.

Busy, quiet a narrow pub but good atmosphere and live sports on

Beers fine but bloody noisy with the music. You will find it difficult to hold a conversation. If loud music is your thing this is the place. We were there early door's tea time.

Payed £6.90 for a pint of madri, well over priced , safe to say I won't drink in there again.

£5.00 for a Chinese is taking the Michael!

Sat in dunks chair 💺 up the toffees. Great little pub.

Popped into the pub and asked if they did food, the lady behind the bar was very helpful, my client is in a wheelchair, she got us a table, moved it to accommodate the wheelchair,,ordering food was great and it didn't take long to arrive. The food was lovely,piping hot, the bacon was cooked nicely, egg was nice and runny as requested, there was nothing to complain about, we met the chef and thanked him for the meal, the lady behind the bar was very easy to talk to, needless to say next time we are in Chester we will be back for a meal.

Good location, prices are ok but don't go there to eat. Not fantastic.

Had a few drinks here during our Chester stay. Lovely lady behind the bar, value for money Madri. 💰 Lovely place.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is an Irish themed pub. It is a Green King sports bar. We had tomato soup for a quick lunch. HEINZ out if a tin and lukewarm at best.

Barmaid extremely rude would never go in this place again.

Sara and Vanessa were so welcoming and very chatty so much so we came back later on in the evening and enjoyed some more drinks at a reasonable price too

The only good thing about this place was the barmaid who was lovely, friendly and helpful. The food was awful, cheap frozen stuff. I only managed to eat a couple of mouthfuls before I gave up. Stay clear.

A good pub, a nice bartender, cold beer, what else do you need for happiness

Horrible beer or warm beer, that's all they have. Terrible service too.

Great fun - barman Harry - top bloke 👏. Let us do Karaoke 🎤 on an otherwise quiet night as we had friends over from South Wales. Turned into a proper night to remember. Harry even belted out a few tunes himself.

Dixie Dean's old pub so a great spot for blues. Good old fashioned pub with friendly barmaid. Could spend hours in there. I didn't eat but fish n chips looked nice!

Lovely old Chester pub. A real institution. Good selection of beers and excellent service Perfectly situated in the centre of town

Excellent service and welcoming attitude of Harry the barman. He allowed us to do Karoake and brought lots of fun to our night out. Thank you Harry

Went in for one drink and ended up staying all night! Harry the barman was an absolute star. Friendly, helpful, accommodating and fab on the karaoke. Well worth a visit!

A warm welcoming traditional pub, good prices karaoke and shows football fans what else would you want. lovely staff, stu is helpful with any needs and the bar staff are always having a laugh with you

Great traditional sports bar, friendly staff, good prices, loadsa screens.

Wonderful pub love the people who work there stu is amazing

love dublin packet stu is so welcoming and makes you feel at home and all ways go out his way for his regulars

Stu is amazing what a fantastic pub. Love my local ❤️

Great pub lovely staff and the boss is out of this world loved the lad they call DD

Stu and the gang are fantastic What a Great Little Boozer!!! A place to Definitely visit in Chester

This pub is a fantastic pub for all family and friends also food is amazing all the staff and the owner stu it has a fantastic hospitality every thing you need is no worries just ask and there happy to help

Stu behind the bar was a true Gent and excelled himself re: customer service, he exchanged a cup of tea (milk was off) for a Tia Maria & coke (for my missus) with no fuss, just apologies, which was very nice 😊 P.S. great entertainment from the old guy attempting a Whitney Houston classic 🙉

Stu is lovely and very welcoming xx

Great atmosphere and Stu was very friendly. Worth a visit

Cracking old school boozer. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

Friendly staff .. lovely breakfast..very clean pub ..great prices.. sausges are amazing

Very nice pleasant staff and food

A decent pub, reasonably priced for the city of Chester. Has a small seating area outside on the pavement if the weather allows. Apparently they do food but that wasn't what we were there for. It's quite small inside and was quite lively as the races were on. We went in everyday we were in Chester as its our kind of bar but probably not for everyone. Basic toilet facilities but easy access for people who may struggle with mobility as there are no steps that I can recall.

Cheap and good drinks. Not much else to say.

Great traditional pub. Interesting fact about it, it was once owned by Dixie Dean. famous football player from 1930s.....

Pub is a little rough round the edges, but is getting better than before, good choice of drinks.

Nice little pub friendly staff would recommend food and drink will be visiting again

Great beer, and wonderful staff behind the bar. Also a great place to watch the parade.

Great location close to all other bars and restaurants ( so can walk short distance to other bars) & nice place to stop at during shopping etc on that side of town.

Great pub to stop off if from or travelling to Chester.

Nice place Very friendly staff Good food and beer

Great friendly pub with a great atmosphere, we will definitely be back, 5 stars for me

Great place.good beer .it was a very rainy day on the wednesday of the Chester races. Borrowed a umbrella from the pub. Which was brilliant of them. Thank you

An old style,no frills English pub. Great for watching TV sports,plenty of screens everywhere, lively with a decent atmosphere.

Nice Pub Staff friendly was there for Races recommend it

Great friendly welcome, efficient service and good view of the square.

Best place to watch the horse racing and drink guinness..

Great pub to meet up have a chat, staff are very helpful and friendly

Bar staff very friendly, nice and relaxed atmosphere

Popped in for a few lunchtime beers and something to eat whilst vusiting Chester. Worth a visit.

Great pub,beer, and service but unable to get internet..

Amazing service and food. Very dog friendly 🙏Would highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic night the staff here are superb and then you encounter little Stuart you old hag you such a shame you let a fabulous team down

Plenty of screens for the football and decent selection of beers.

Good beer and very friendly staff. Would recommend.

The beer was good, and the pub was comfortable

Schöner kleiner irish Pub. Gerne besuchen, um Fussball zu schauen. Leckeres Bier

Great location very friendly atmosphere with great beer 🍻 so nice we popped I. A couple of times

Quiet, good selection of drinks, but had to leave as the smell from the drains was truly unbearable.

Went for 1 and stayed all afternoon friendly staff and perfect for watching the world go by from the window

Nice place, feels a bit Irish, great Guinness. It's small tough, and the meals options are very limited.

First impression of inside was good, however too many TV screens. All blurring out that loud you could not hear yourself think. Had to drink up and leave.

Great bar to watch the football and rugby, friendly staff. Good atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks.

Absolutely love the place the girls who work there are cheeky and funny as hell

Lovely pub. Beer great. Bar man really friendly.

Fantastic atmosphere! Good range of alcohol and staff are second to none

One of the smaller bars in chester, but you receive a warm welcome and the beer is good. They have football screens. Charming littlepub

I have frequented the Dublin Packet many times and have never had a problem until last night in questioning our bill which was a different price for the same drinks sara who said she was the manager was very rude saying we were undercharged the first time thats fair enough but sara interfered when I asked another member of staff to add up my bill very rude member of staff

December 2022: had a pint of Wadsworth Brewery 6X amber ale 4.1%. Dog friendly. Welcoming staff.

Lovely friendly pub with delicious food.Very friendly staff & polite..A visit to Chester is definitely worth a visit here.

Popped in for a drink when we arrived in the city waiting for our hotel to become available. The bar had a good atmosphere and thought we would try something to eat. Went to order and was informed the chef wasn’t taking any additional orders. Returned the next night for a drink and there was a lot of undesirable people in there. Also no straws!

Great fun, busy bar, good location

I stopped here for a drink, I had to use the toilet there was no toilet roll , on looking in both toilets there was loads of dirty sanitary towels all over the floor and the bin was over flowing woth them. I told a member of staff and he explained it was busy the night before and people use the pub as a public toilet. I wanted to vomit 🤢. He did however get the toilet roll. Drinks are expensive and the place os very dark , cars machine wasn't working

went in here twice whilst in chester staff always friendly n good atmosphere excellent choice of beer definitely recommend

Yeah, not good ! At best ! No disability access ! Darker than the owners soul ! We have “fish n chips” yeah …..? The side salad was the best part of fish n chips. Owners were rude and basically “bitched” about customers in the faces…not very friendly are we Dublin packet ?????? Vaping in the bar and drinking on the job ????? Very professional! Well done for the worst pub in Britain! Won’t be coming back ! Pfttttt !! I’ll be back next week with a health inspector and the FDA !

This hasn’t been high on my list of Chester pubs to try, but having visited most of the rest in town, it was finally time for a drink here. We came on a Thursday afternoon, ordered a pint of 6X at the bar, sat listening to the sort of smooth music they play on local radio on a Sunday afternoon and watched Moto GP on multiple screens. All a little bit dull, so won’t be rushing back.

Had a couple of pleasant pints while wife was shopping, sky sports on telly happy days

Nice atmosphere,we were just visiting Chester,and found this nice little pub tucked away,reasonably priced too👍
