About This Pub

Ah, The Deva Tap – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Chester, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the beer selection is spot on, offering up a brilliant array of craft brews that cater to all tastes, and the food, especially those burgers, is something else entirely – rich, flavoursome, and just the ticket for a satisfying meal. The staff come across as genuinely friendly and accommodating, always ready to sort you out, which really adds to that cosy, welcoming feel. It's in a handy location too, making it ideal for a pit stop after travelling. On the flip side, though, I've noticed a couple of things that aren't quite as rosy; the cask beer variety can be a bit slim, so if you're a die-hard ale fan, you might end up a tad disappointed. Plus, there's some odd spam-like content in the reviews on their site, which feels out of place and could put a damper on the experience. All in all, it's a solid spot for a pint and a chat with mates, but going in with those few caveats in mind will set you up for a balanced visit – I'd say it's worth checking out for the highs, just keep an eye on the lows!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic variety of craft brews from all over the UK – it's a real treat for anyone who loves exploring new pints.
  • The food is a standout, especially those burgers; they're packed with flavour and made fresh, making it a top choice for a hearty pub meal.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming, with friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home, and there's even nice outdoor seating for when the weather's on your side.
  • It's in a brilliant spot in Chester, easy to pop into whether you're coming from the train or bus station, perfect for a quick stop or a relaxed evening.
Cons
  • The cask beer options can be a bit limited at times, so if you're after a wide range of traditional ales, you might find yourself wanting more variety.
  • Some of the reviews on their website seem a tad off-topic with unrelated ads, which can feel a bit distracting and takes away from the genuine pub vibe.

Popped in to see if they could do me a burger to take away (I’ve heard great things!). Very accommodating in doing me a Still Deva burger with a chicken patty on too. The food was outstanding, burger was so rich in flavour it was beautiful!. 10 minute wait for absolute perfection… don’t mind if I do. 11/10 would recommend :)
