About This Pub
Ah, The Liverpool Arms in Chester – what a spot for a proper pint! From what I've gathered, it's got that classic pub charm that just draws you in, with staff who are often dead chatty and make you feel right at home, like you're catching up with pals over a drink. The atmosphere is spot on, especially if you're nipping in after a wander around the walls; it's inclusive to everyone, with a good buzz from events like bingo and DJ nights, and they've smartened up the interior nicely over the years. On the upside, it's inexpensive and open most days from around 11am, so it's easy to pop by for a quick one. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses – some folks have mentioned the service can vary, with a few staff seeming more interested in finishing up early than keeping the good times rolling, which can leave you feeling a bit flat. Still, with a solid 4.4 rating from heaps of reviews, I'd say it's worth giving it a go; just keep your fingers crossed for one of those top-notch evenings!

We stumbled across the Liverpool arms while biding Chester and we are so glad we did. The staff were all very welcoming chatty and very fast at serving. The bar has a brilliant atmosphere and we can’t wait to go back.
The two ladies that own this are absolutely amazing, friendly chatty everything you'd want from pub landlords. The barmam was absolutely spot-on, equally friendly and chatty which is what you want when you're going into a bar as a single person, and you don't just want to sit around in your own company.
The tables were clean and not sticky like some venues they can be, theres plenty of seating or you can stand around and prop the bar up 😊.
A highly recommended venue to visit if you're in Chester, for a quick pint or to while away a few hours.....
The pub is ok ,But very hit and miss depending on the staff ( some great some clock watchers ) The lady behind the bar tonight clearly wanted to finish early and had no problem with telling everyone that. It’s a shame people like this work in hospitality, it’s not what you want to hear while trying to relax and enjoy a pint. Disappointing
We dipped into the Liverpool Arms whilst walking the Walls.
We had a lovely warm welcome from the lady serving at the bar. Thank you.
Returned after 6-7 years. Big changes (interior design) happened, looks great. If you do a walls walk, this place is great to pop in a pint or two.
Lovely people in this gay/ -gay friendly (?!) pub. All ages are welcome. Beers, short drinks on site.
Plenty of tables, chairs. Bingo, DJ and many other activities are welcome the guests.
By North Gate. Definitely worth a visit!
