Ye Olde Cottage Inn in Cheshire West and Chester

The Cottage is a fine example of the great British local. Friendly staff, a decent well-priced pint and a resident cat.

Nice chilled old fashioned pub, with friendly bar staff and lovely beer . Next time I'm in Chester I will definitely go again.

Brilliant atmosphere and very friendly locals.

One of the best pubs in Chester

Friendly service good beer really good price compared to down south proper pub

Typical old style pub with the atmosphere to match.

Lovly atmosphere in an oldy worldy pub ...went 2 nights while visiting chester .. made us feel so welcome

This is a proper pub. Good selection of beer, plenty of pub games, friendly people if you're friendly. Maybe the best and most authentic pub in England

Lovely pint by the fire. Can't get much better.

Nice pub on a cold evening, open log fire burning well. Plenty of beer choice as well. Nice little pub

Nice feel to it, the locals have their seats and glasses so you know who they are!!!!. Well worth calling in.

A nice proper pub rather unexpected in this location. I popped in for a pint while waiting to meet my wife off the train. Nice real fire, quiet, convivial. Read my book, enjoyed a proper well-kept pint. People that whinge and whine have no idea what a real pub looks like. Like this, people.

Great pub good atmosphere and welcoming

Great place nice people great atmosphere 👍

Popped in on the Sunday before Christmas. Whilst town was busy this place had about 4 people in. It was a bit like walking into saloon in a 70s western movie where everyone snarls at you as you push the door. The lady behind the bar was less than welcoming and would benefit from either customer service training or a week off. We felt like an inconvenience so drank up and left. It’s a quaint olde place that would benefit from a refurb.

Quality pub, proper smiles and laughs, bar staff brilliant, extremely pleasant Defo worth a visit

Great beer, real lovely old skool local, very sexy landlord.

Good beer nice friendly pub and very clean a pleasure to visit

It's my go to local and favourite pub in Chester. No food, a proper "wet pub" Nice coal fire in the winter.

Splendid. Friendly staff and a convivial atmosphere. Recommended

Great pub, highly recommend. One of the few pubs in Chester that still has the traditions and character of a proper old fashioned boozer: dart board, live fire, great cask ale. If you're in Chester and you like pubs this place is a must

Never went in before. Don’t know why not. All round excellent pub.

Great selection of Real Ales Good quality Friendly staff Probably the cheapest pint in chester , apart from Tim Martins

Great little pub. Stopped for a pint. After the races. Lovely staff and nice atmosphere 👌.

Wonderful traditional pub close to the bus station. Great beer, great prices, friendly staff, and a pubcat, though he wasn't about when we visited.

This is a proper pub, we try and visit when we go to Chester races, great staff and a fine selection of beers, but best of all the fire is always burning bright and long may it do so, see you soon 👍, our annual visit, glad to report all's well in the Cottage 👍

It wasn't for me but it was nice

Bartender was friendly, beer was top quality and nice to sit next to an open fire

Good beer in a traditional pub. Great place to spend a couple of hours with friends

Fantastic pub, staff and locals very friendly and welcoming. Good selection of well kept beers. Will definitely be back when visiting Chester.

One of the best boozers in Chester, hands down.

A bunch of strangers took our reserved table. The place stunk of sweat and body odour, reeked of tobacco and there was no breathing room for anyone. One of the most claustrophobic places I have been in my entire life. I would never go back.

Enjoyed a very friendly atmosphere there last Saturday evening,, lovely beers, nice staff, Went to Istanbul for a meal, then back to the Cottage for more beer till closing time,, lovely evening out ,, cheers

Cosy atmosphere,staff very friendly,and a cat on the bar,brilliant

Always a warm welcome, open fire adds the finishing touch👍

Absolute gem! Quite rightly in Good Beer Guide! 👍😁🍺

Another long standing pub always a good stop off between the train station & the bus station. I recommend New Castle Brown Ale

My twin brother Stephen and I were pub hopping around this part of town when we decided to drop into Ye Olde Cottage Inn ,a wonderful pub I always enjoy dropping into. This pub looks superb,traditional,the interior is superb,two roomed,an island style serving bar,pubby decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub,a really cosy pub indeed. We were here on a freezing cold Tuesday night,pub was packed ,greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of staff ,we had a quick study of their real ale's and we both went for Salopian Brewery pale ale,these were served in excellent condition ,we luckily managed to get a table in the back room were we soaked up the great vibe in this pub while sipping our pale ale's. My pale ale was good,a rich,golden pale ale,hoppy,bursting with taste,so tasty,so refreshing,it was just so good being in such a lively pub enjoying a quality real ale. These are the type of pubs I love ,proper local pubs serving the community ,we really enjoyed our pale ales in here before we moved on and as on every other visit to here we had a great time. Ye Olde Cottage Inn is easy to locate along Brook Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,open from 4pm. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Proper boozer, good selection of beers/ ales with a cask offer after x pints. A darts, bagatelle and a juke box for public use.

Always a good choice of cask ales and lagers/ciders. A great community feel pub with a warming real fire on chilly days

Great value and great clientele

Ye Olde Cottage Inn on Brook street is one of the best pub's we visited on our two day trip to Chester.

The pub itself is immaculately kept with lots of nice decor throughout the interior of the two roomed pub.Ye Olde Cottage Inn offer discounts on there cask beer if you have a C.A.M.R.A card and with several cask ale's to choose from its the ideal pub to unwind and relax and have a few beers. We have visited Ye Olde Cottage Inn many times over the years as there cask ales are superb and its always an ideal pub to visit if you are heading for the train station. When here we had a few pints of cask ales which where perfectly served and very well priced especially with your C.A.M.R.A card which takes 30 pence off every pint. A great pub and well worth a visit and very easy to find from Hoole Way bus stop its a short walk.(This is my first review of Ye Olde Cottage Inn). Opening Hours. Monday-Friday-16.00-23.00.

Ye Olde Cottage Inn es un maravilloso pub local que siempre espero visitar en cualquier momento que esté en Chester, un pub adecuado que sirve cervezas de calidad.Me encanta el aspecto de este pub, tan tradicional como viene, dos habitaciones, excelente decoración y muebles que incluyen un magnífico bar de estilo isleño, hay una mesa de billar, un tablero de dardos y muchas opciones de asientos repartidas por todo este pub, es un maravilloso pub para relajarse.Mi hermano gemelo Stephen y yo estuvimos aquí un miércoles por la noche, recibidos calurosamente por un miembro del personal muy agradable, después de un rápido estudio de sus cervezas, los dos fuimos a por la "cerveza pálida" de Weetwood Brewery. Se sirvieron en excelentes condiciones. Afortunadamente, conseguimos una mesa en la que nos relajamos, nos relajamos y disfrutamos del gran pub en el que estábamos.Mi pale ale era realmente buena, una pale ale con cuerpo, bien equilibrada con un gran golpe de lúpulo, muy fácil de beber, un estilo de cerveza real que tanto a mí como a mi hermano gemelo Stephen nos gusta especialmente.Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestras cervezas aquí antes de seguir adelante y, como en todas las demás visitas a Ye Old Cottage Inn, lo pasamos muy bien.Ye Olde Cottage Inn es fácil de localizar, desde la estación de tren de Chester, camine por Station Road hasta Brook Street, donde encontrará este pub.Un gran pub y vale la pena visitarlo si estás en la zona.

Amo este lugar. Pub de la ciudad a la antigua usanza que sirve muy buena cerveza (incluidas varias cervezas de barril).Los juegos de bar incluyen dardos, billar e incluso bagatelas.Pub tiene un gato encantador y amigable que deambula y le gusta un derrame cerebral.Buena selección de música en el Jukebox.Bonito pub agradable, muy recomendable.

Great little old fashioned pub with a great selection of beers.

Traditional pub atmosphere with real ales and a warm welcome. Can't wait to visit again x

Salt of the earth boozer with good cheap beer.
