Crabwell Manor - Earl of Chester Suite Bar

Through the small yet plush corridors of the manor one wanders in search of a drink. I come across the party taking play in the room which, according to the account above the door, belongs to the Earl of Chester. Within are a few comfortable furnishings and a small [...]

Crabwell Manor Hotel Bar

Standing up at the bar in some kind of badly fashioned queue, in a room that feels much like the clubhouse of a golf club, the much talked about Bar at Crabwell Manor House Hotel in Chester is embarrassing, degrading and for lack of a better word, appalling. The selection behind the [...]

Off the Wall Bar

Off the Wall bar in Chester is a popular venue, somewhat more down to earth than the other pubs in the area. Reminding me somewhat of a pub with a disco feel to it, Off the Wall comes complete with sleazy guys, pop music. Carpets, where wooden dance floor should be and [...]

Destiny and Elite Boogie Bus
 
Who like to boogie? well we all do don’t we? And what better way to to the outskirts of town for free than by hopping on board Chester’s destiny and elite boogie bus. What is essentially a pimped transit van has pink and black interior-enough searing for ten, a tiny champagne [...]

Meze Bar and Restaurant

Calling a bar by a name that even its bouncers cant pronounce is never a good idea, but it sets the scene for a place where the venue is a little twisted and the crowds thinks they know best. This two unit, double decker venue on the upper shelf of Chester’s town centre [...]

Fiesta Havana

A slice of restaurant combined with a mixed cocktail bar, combining the effect of being in a large fallout shelter with atmospheric arches and low coloured lighting with a strong assortment of drinks. Bright flowers decorate the bar and the first level drops away to a second with a bottle bar and a small [...]

The Barlounge

A heavily populated bar which as an initial impression gives the air of a trendy palace crammed full of people who feel that being their gives the cool image they need to survive their peers. The bar staff are very animated however and once we order our drinks it becomes clear that the barman [...]
