Decent pint of Guinness. Some cask ales on tap too. Long bar with lots of tables and good quality TV screens. Great place to watch the footy. Decent music too. 5 stars for me.

Went in here today and it was nearly £10 for 2 pints of Carlsberg. I questioned this and they said it was because the races were on. The barman then offered to give us a pound back. Terrible prices for a bar that isn't that great and is ruining things for local drinkers. I won't be going there again

No cask ales at all. ? The lunchtime atmosphere was zero. The service was like from a zombie . The food was ok. Why not let the Chef be more creative ? I am sure he / she would like to be . You may get more and varied customers . I ordered pie of the day and chips. I fancied that. It came with lots of meat and oodles of gravy. It wasn’t a pie. It was a dish with reheated precooked meat. Topped with a rough puff pastry lid, which had a soggy bottom and a crispy hard to cut top. The chips didn’t taste of potato . ( 😂😕). They were dried out oven fried ready made ones . Yuk! Overall it was a bad experience and not one to be recommended . whoever leases or manages this place should have the rent increased and a warning . It may give him her the kick up xxxx that is needed .No wonder it was dead . Very badly managed . City Centre Chester !!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Have ordered from here ( delivery )for months now and food always been delicious however the past two orders have been very disappointing ( both fish ) the batter on the fish was very overcooked . Maybe new staff but not up to their usual very high standards. Will continue to order for now but if this happens again will be going elsewhere
