The Dublin Packet, Chester

A town centre terraced pub, with small beer patio. The exterior has white rusticated stone effect, but mainly white and timber, with dormer windows. The interior is one long room, with a dining area and a drinking area. We ate here a few times when we last visited a couple of years back and the food was fine, there was also something that was either either real ale, or MILD. That had sadly gone, or was unavailable, so our recent visit saw us go in and straight out, hence a less than full account. There was some sporting memorabilia and Sky TV, and i did remember that it seemed to be a haven for the more maturer diner. Shame I couldnt drink anything here.

I have never had a bad beer in this pub, and have been drinking there for a few years, once known as the Dixie Deans because of its association with the great ex Everton football player, who actually run the pub during the fiftys and the name stuck with the locals as Dixies. This pub is very small but a wonderful place for shoppers to have a meal and drink during a visit to the city, friendly people and always good staff during the afternoon but during the night becomes a mecca for students from the nearby Chester university.
