A former coaching house,this is a pub with rooms available which describes itself as a hotel.However it also has a microbrewery on site and up to 7 Pied Bull ales will be available at the bar,on my trip 4 were on (Nimbull,Bullseye,Changabull and Tangibull) plus a real cider while a guest ale clip was reversed.The exterior is terrific but the interior rather more corporate yet still with seperate sections although not too many features.The three sided bar stands out but hotel guests will be lugging suitcases about and there seems to be a transient customer base rather than a band of regulars.Food is popular here too.
Pied Bull ales are old school in nature and can seem muted but it maybe worth popping in if crawling the city centre.

Visited on a recent Saturday evening. Always a favourite of mine when in Chester due to the changing range of their own ales being available. Six hand pulls at the bar with three in active service at the time of my visit - offering two different Change-a-Bull ales plus Sensibull (one of their regular ales). The Ginger Bulls that I went for was pleasant with a subtle ginger kick rather than in-your-face spice, and slipped down rather nicely though was perhaps a bit on the warm side.
Although there is a hotel attached, as far as I'm concerned this is a proper pub and feels like a pub, rather than any hotel bar I have experienced.

The Pied Bull is a comfortable and traditional pub and hotel that was reasonably busy compared to its peers during a recent Tuesday night visit. I counted six hand pumps that were drawing Pied Bulls own Change-a-Bull (x2), Taurus and Bull’s Hit alongside Snail Bank’s Gooseberry Fool and 4Ts Brewery’s IPA. A standard and premium keg range is also available as is a traditional pub food menu. This is one of the better pubs in this part of Chester and is worth a visit.
