About This Pub
Ah, Palm Cocktail Bar & Eatery – it's one of those places in Chester that just draws you in with its stylish pink exterior and that irresistible flower wall, perfect for snapping a few pics with your mates. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the cocktails are where it really shines; they're full of exciting flavours and come in a huge variety, making it ideal for a lively night out or celebrating something special like a birthday. The bottomless brunch gets rave reviews too, with generous portions of pastries, small plates, and unlimited drinks that feel like great value for a fun afternoon. The staff are always up for a chat and make everything feel welcoming, which is just lovely. On the flip side, though, some folks have mentioned the food isn't quite as impressive – things like the fried dishes can come across as greasy or lacking in quality, so if you're going for a proper meal, you might want to keep expectations in check and focus on the drinks instead. Overall, it's a solid choice for a good time with friends, as long as you're prepared for a cocktail-centric vibe and perhaps a bit of a wait for the best seats.

Cons

Some of the food can be a bit disappointing, like the deep-fried options that might not taste fresh or high-quality, which could put you off if you're there for a proper meal.
-
Seating can be limited when it's busy, so you might end up in a less photogenic spot rather than the prime areas, which is a shame for those wanting the full experience.

It's more of a cocktail-focused place, so if you're hoping for standout food, you might find it falls short compared to the drinks.

Bottomless brunch was well worth its value. We’re given a pastry, two smaller portions of our choice, unlimited drinks and a dessert shot. Staff were so nice.
Omg! We will 1000000% come here again. The vibe and music was on point. The food was amazing! The drinks have so much flavor and excitement in them. This place made my best friends birthday so special! Highly recommend!
So we came for a birthday and had the bottomless brunch...venue was lovely and girly. Cocktails are gorgeous and are staff lovely and friendly. However the food... Deep fried, in dirty smelly fat ... Poor quality. We made our money on the cocktails! Wouldn't recommend, there's plenty of other very lovely, similarly priced bottomless brunch outlets in Chester serving quality tasty food!
Popped in hear last night just for 1 drink. 3 drinks later and we were still there lol. Amazing cocktails especially the rhubarb cocktail. Really friendly staff. If you like cocktails get yourself to this place
Brilliant place, booked for a birthday bottomless brunch the festive menu in the day time at 1.30pm- venue is really busy at this time, it is fully booked and only had choice of one booth left which we had no choice to take, would of loved to sit where the pretty photogenic parts are but its not the end of the world for us. Food is delicious and came quite quickly. The servers were amazing with restocking our cocktails, half way through our brunch we did have to wait but it got so busy it couldn't be helped. The cocktails themselves were amazing, plenty of it and dressed nicely. As it’s a set drinks menu i only really tried 3 out of the 6 cocktails as they weren't to my taste. I wasn't a fan of the passion fruit bellini. We also ordered a Shot Tree which was an extra cost but was really cute. The decor is pink and girly and the music is mostly girly songs. As part of the bottomless brunch you have a time limit of 1.45minutes there. Once this time has come to the end i thought we could have stayed but just paid for the rest of the drinks we ordered afterwards but it wasn't the case. The server was lovely i didn't catch the name, and politely said that we need to leave as our bottomless brunch had ended.
