About This Pub

Ah, Halcyon Garden – what a lovely spot it is, tucked away in Chester's Garden Quarter. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this homely feel that just draws you in, with a tremendous selection of drinks that keeps things exciting; think wonderful ales and a mix of cask and keg that changes up regularly – it's clear folks love popping in for a quick one or to grab some takeaways. The atmosphere is spot on too, all peaceful without any music blasting, which is brilliant if you're after a proper catch-up over a pint. And it's so welcoming, with friendly faces behind the bar and even biscuits for the dogs, making it feel like a proper community hub. On the flip side, being a small micro pub, it might get a bit cramped when it's lively, and those operating hours do look a touch muddled, especially on Sundays, so you'd want to double-check before heading out. Plus, with no fresh reviews lately, it might not be the go-to spot for everyone right now, but overall, it's a cracking little place that deserves a visit if you're in the area – honest, it's got that charm that makes you want to come back for more.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The drink selection is absolutely brilliant, with a fantastic range of beers, ciders, wines, and spirits – plenty of cask and keg options that change regularly, making every visit feel fresh.
  • It's got such a warm and welcoming atmosphere; it's quiet without any blaring music, which makes it perfect for a proper chat with mates.
  • The staff and locals are really friendly, and it's dog-friendly too, with treats on offer for your furry friends – always a nice touch.
  • Tucked away in the Garden Quarter, it's a hidden gem that's well worth the short walk from the city centre, and they even do takeaways for beers and more.
Cons
  • As a small micro pub, space might feel a bit tight if it gets busy, so it could be cosy to the point of being a squeeze on peak nights.
  • The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent from what's listed, which might catch you out if you're planning a visit on a Sunday.
  • There haven't been any recent reviews in the last six months, suggesting it might not be as buzzing lately, or perhaps it's just flying under the radar.

Just in for a drink for the first time. Super choice of drinks, tremendous atmosphere totallyvdevoid of music and the food going out looked and smelled excellent.

What a cracking little pub, with some wonderful ales on 🍺👌 I didn't try and food, as it was just a quick pint, whilst waiting for somebody, but I'll definitely be back.

Carrying on from where the Goat & Munch left off, Halcyon Garden continues to offer a great selection of beers, ciders, wines and spirits. A good selection of both cask and keg, with lots of changing stock, this little gem is tucked away in the Garden Quarter and is well worth the short walk from the city centre. Also an excellent choice for takeaway bottles, cans and draught.
