Trendy almost cafe style which was struggling with only one person behind the bar on the run up to Christmas. Was going to try the beer, but it would have beenlong wait! looks ok though

An A-board on the path outside the Cellar boasts of numerous awards so I was expecting a lot, but was disappointed to find the two barmen setting up for a private Monday evening function. My visit was a couple of minutes before the doors closed at 19:00 so I tried my luck asking for a half, which thankfully wasn’t a problem. In fact the barman was extremely friendly. A tile surrounded serving counter runs up the right wall where TT Landlord, Burning Sky’s Inclination, Thornbridge’s Kelham Island East Rider, Brew York’s Micklegate, Brewsmith Beer’s Citra Pale and Rooster’s Baby-Faced Assassin were available on cask. There’s also a premium and craft keg range, but I plumped for Brew York’s mild which was very nutty, but decent. The furniture is a mix of high tables, sofas and tiny little tables with stools that all sit on the bare board floor. Oddly there are five televisions for showing Sky Sports, which is great for football fans like myself, but may turn others off. I liked it in here and will return next time I’m in Chester.

A cafe style bar with folding back french windows to the front in fine weather,there is a roped off cellar but the servery is on the ground floor to the right.Two Sky Sport screen on mute with the cricket showing,and a decent soundtrack not too loud .There are high tables near the bar and to the front with a sunken area with lower profile modern furniture and a few metal chairs and tables on the street.There is some pallet rough wood facing and a vague hipster vibe.There is a very long gin menu.
There was a friendly welcome from the young bar man who helped with ale advice and curry recommendations.This place will always have a decent ale line up with TT Landlord a regular ,with rotating guests on my trip Beartown Creme Bearlee,North Brewing Pinata,Buxton Low Tor,Roosters Yankee and a very decent Kirkstall Dissolution IPA.Thats a good range over 6 handpumps for my money.
This bar is the sister operation to The Corner House just down the road,and there is a listing on the wall for the Corner Houses' live music spanning the weekends.The staff will appear in both locations although there is a wider ale choice in here.A bar to include on any crawl around the city and a great triple header with it's sister pub and the Old Harkers merely yards away.
