See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
There has been a pub on this site since the 15th century; the current building was built in 1904 for Chesters brewery. A large building with two areas decorated to a very high standard in subtle, calming shades. As you enter, you are greeted by a small segment of the large bar. To the right of this is a seating area with booths and discrete tables, decorated with wooden panelling, meanwhile on the left side is a further comfortable seating area, this time with bare-brick decor,. A further seating area with its own bar is downstairs (the toilets are also here), this is styled as the "Den"; this area works as a sports bar as it features TV screens, etc. There are some interesting old photos of the pub abound along with other artefacts scattered around. The pub features live bands from time to time. Closest pub to the Air Raid Shelter Tour. Further history here:
