The Grosvenor Arms, Chester

A small double fronted pub with a back room devoted to games; pool, darts, machines etc. The left side has the counter, banquette seating and a high table, the right has no counter, fake half timber and is carpeted rather than tiled. Two pulls but only a rank Taylors Landlord on, it was changed without a quibble and the cask was actually changed. Two low T-Bars had the usual Guinness, a cider, Worthington creamflow and umpteen lagers. A few screens and piped music, it’s a decent down to earth locals pub.

I think this has just had a refurb which means new upholstery, new carpet and pubco advertising and cheap food menus dotted around. Still a traditional enough pub otherwise. One of the two ales on was John Smiths Cask which I haven’t seen in ages!

This is proper little pub just over the Handbridge bridge. Its small inside with basically 2 rooms, though you could say 3.Very friendly and a couple of real ales. Lovely roaring fire.
