About This Pub

Ah, Sandstone – what a lovely spot it is, tucked away in Westminster Park. I have to say, I was really chuffed with the sheer variety of beers on offer; they've got this ever-changing lineup that keeps things exciting, whether you're in the mood for a crisp lager or something a bit more adventurous like a sour or imperial stout. The wine selection is another highlight – it's all about those sustainable practices, so you can enjoy a glass knowing it's from wineries that are doing things the right way. And don't miss the quiz nights; they're such a laugh, getting everyone involved and adding to that community feel. The staff are an absolute treat too, always up for a chat and quick to suggest something new. On the flip side, it's a tad out of the way, so if you're not local, you might end up on a bit of a trek to get there, and the varying opening times can be a nuisance if you're trying to pop in on a whim. Plus, it's more of a drinks-focused place, so if you're hoping for a hearty bite, you'll probably need to plan ahead. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone who appreciates a good pint in a relaxed setting – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're in Chester and fancy something a bit special.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • Fantastic selection of craft beers and ciders that change regularly, with something for every taste from light session ales to bold stouts.
  • Well-curated wine list focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly options from family-run vineyards, including some unique English and French picks.
  • Lively quiz nights every Tuesday evening, which are a brilliant way to have a fun night out with friends.
  • Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff who provide top-notch service and great recommendations.
  • Cozy, welcoming atmosphere in a micro pub setting, making it a hidden gem for a relaxed drink or catch-up.
Cons
  • It's located in a quiet housing estate, which means it might take a bit of effort to find if you're not familiar with the area.
  • Opening hours vary by day, so it's easy to get caught out if you're planning a spontaneous visit.
  • Seems to focus mainly on drinks rather than food, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere first.

Lovely micro pub in the middle of a housing estate. It's worth finding if you're passing close by.

Apart from the great ales on regular days, had the pleasure of a Wild Beer Co tap take over last night. Just one to tease you with below 😋 The team behind the bar serving aren't too bad either haha
