About This Pub
Ah, The Love Shack in Chester is such a fun little escape – imagine stepping into a tiki paradise with hip-hop and RnB tunes setting the mood, perfect for unwinding with friends over some inventive drinks and bites. The decor really transports you, and the staff are gems, always on hand to mix up something special or guide you through a masterclass without any extra fuss. It's brilliant for groups, whether you're booking a bottomless brunch or just popping in for a casual catch-up, and I love that they've got inclusive options like vegan snacks. On the downside, though, some drinks might not pack the punch you'd expect for the price, and there've been a few tales of dodgy food items or smaller portions that leave you a bit disappointed. All in all, it's a cracking spot if you're after good vibes and a laugh, but it's worth going in with your eyes open to make the most of it – just keep an eye on the bill and maybe stick to the cocktails that get the thumbs up!

Works party do. We had the place to ourselves. Lovely decor. Felt like we were thousands of miles away in a tikki bar. The eats supplied were lovely but could only be described as finger food. Plenty of beers, softdrinks and speciality cocktails for you to enjoy.

We had an amazing time at our bottomless brunch at The Love Shack in Chester, thanks to Anna and KC! They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure our glasses were always full. Their energy and hospitality made the day extra special. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be back!
Overpriced, undermeasured and stingy volume in the drinks. They're mostly ice. I don't mind paying 9.50 for a drink if it's an experience and decently strong, but these weren't. Some were served with foam bananas that had black mould growing on them.
My partner said it was the first time he'd actually been annoyed by a drink- it was a chocolate and cream based drink, but there were literally only a few sips in that didn't taste good. It looked like there should have been quite a bit more in there but it was just the cream coating the ice.
It was also slightly too loud. The main positive is that the staff were really nice.
This review is solely based on the chicken wings I ordered. Came all the way from Preston to "my favourite" chicken spot, months after I've last been, only to see how much things have changed. The chicken which was worth the same price, has dropped in both quality and quantity; I was so sad and disappointed. Especially because I always enjoy bringing my friends who visit Chester for the first time to enjoy that chicken. I would rather pay more for good quality than have reduced quality of something I once enjoyed. I won't be patronising anymore.
Staff were extremely friendly, told him what we liked and he made us cocktails not on the menu. His pina colada was amazing. Food was gorgeous. Lovely small little bar. 2 cocktails and food came to £50.
