City Tavern in Chester

Oh, City Tavern – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of Chester, with its historic charm and that cosy, lived-in feel that's just perfect for unwinding after a long day. I love how the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home, sharing tips on what's on like games nights or live music, which adds such a fun, lively touch. The food's a real highlight too; their curry and cheesy garlic bread are absolute winners that leave you wanting more, and it's all at prices that won't break the bank. Plus, with the beer garden and big screens for sports, it's ideal for kicking back with friends over a pint. On the downside, though, a few folks have mentioned that some sides, like the veggies or mash, don't quite match up and can feel a bit disappointing, so you might want to skip those and focus on the stars of the menu. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're after a genuine, community-oriented spot – just keep an eye on what you're ordering to make the most of it!
