Brewhouse & Kitchen, Chester

JDW Lloyds No 1 bar set in a large Georgian town house that was previously a nightclub , you enter up a flight of steps , a brass plate in the floor gives a brief history of the building , the bar is straight ahead , the main room of the pub is to the right with a balcony for smokers , to the left is another room partioned by a wall with a snug to the right of this , there are a set of stairs near the entrance leading to another small room , and stairs leading down to further rooms downstairs (cordoned off on my visit , opened when the pub is busy) the place is like a rabbit warren , there is a lot of dark wood paneling, glass partions and large mirrors give the impression of space , it is quite cosy in the smaller rooms unlike most JDWs . Four handpulls with the usual Abbot Ale , Ruddles etc plus one guest , Springhead Liberty which was decent enough . Overall its not to bad in here
