Frankies in Chester

Ah, Frankies – what a delightful spot it is, tucked away in Chester's bustling centre. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the team there really know how to make you feel at home; they're quick with a smile and even throw in little treats like complimentary nachos, which just adds to the charm. The drinks menu is a winner, with plenty of continental options and cocktails that pair nicely with their food offerings – think tasty halloumi burgers or vegan specials that cater to all tastes. Weekends bring live music and a lively atmosphere that keeps things entertaining without being overwhelming. On the downside, though, the opening times seem a tad inconsistent, with some listings suggesting early closes that might disappoint if you're hoping for a late-night session. And while it's got stellar ratings, the low number of reviews means it might not be the first place that springs to mind for a night out. All in all, if you're in Chester and fancy a cosy, welcoming bar with good grub and drinks, I'd say give Frankies a go – it's got that feel-good factor that makes you want to return, but just keep an eye on those hours to avoid any surprises.
