Anyone from or know Chester?

Morning guys,

I'm on a stag do all weekend and was wondering if someone could point me to a decent car park that I can stick the GP in from this afternoon until Sunday.

Also any bars/restaurant recommendations would be grateful

Cheers
 
There's either one round the back of town (right up at the top) that's a safe locked one. Or the one I normally use is the multi-storey that's above the main town shopping centre - forget the name of both sorry. The latter you just follow the one way system to the big roundabout where the tourist info is and you'll see it sign posted.
 
Some bars worth checking out at the east of the town (the town centre is pretty small anyway) ...

Slug & Lettuce - bridge street, good place to have a few beers early on, busy and lots of hen parties generally starting out
Weighing Room (rebranded as Dirty Dogs) - off bridge street on commonhall street, can be quiet but has a great patio area and can be a great place if it's busy
Bar Lounge - eastgate street, great outside area and vibrant
Kuckoo - eastgate street, excellent cocktail bar
Eastgate street generally has a few bars which you can try also like Watergates ...

The Vic at the top of bridge street is quirky but it backs onto a courtyard that also services the Commercial and Amber Kiubge, another popular bar, these two backing onto the same courtyard makes for a great atmosphere especially on a summers evening and when they have a band playing - not sure about this weekend on that score.

On Godstall Lane you have Duttons, can be quiet sometimes but has a good atmosphere and used to be my favourite bar.

Other bars further into town include the Pitcher and Piano on St Johns Street, which is large and gets very busy, this is on the same street as the main nightclub called Cruise - which you may want to end up in.

A bar you have to try is The Church, tucked away on Volunteer street (basically below the large Grosvenor shopping centre multi-storey car park which Matt may have been referring too). This bar is a converted church and is massive and very good with a large outside area.

Off the beaten track you have Telfords Warehouse which is a little way out but walkable and on Northgate street you have a couple of more 'lively' working class pubs but Alexanders is worth a look if you fancy comedy on a Saturday - they have a comedy night from about 9:30 till late (3 acts) but you have to pay to get in and need to be quiet - hmmm maybe not the best place then.

Hoole Village is walkable and at the railway station end of town, lots of bars and pubs but I haven't been there much.

It's a fun night out in Chester and with it being a small place you'll be able to find your own path without being out of a bar for long, if it's a sunny weekend - even better. Plenty of nice eating places too.

Thanks for that. We're at the races Saturday afternoon too so should be a great weekend

Nice and enjoy ... The Architect is a newish restaurant/bar which overlooks the race course and is excellent, has a fab beer garden and is on the way back into town ...

I'm staying out of town on Saturday then so look after the place :rofl:

I'll check that one out, hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow.

Last request, a decent bar to watch the match tonight and the fight tomorrow

Cheers
 
The Slug and Lettuce and Weighing Room have TV's typically with football showing but in the background if you know what I mean.

As far as more sports bars kind of places, there is a Weatherspoons (square bottle) which is pretty big and central in town. There are other pubs on Northgate Street which show football and are more of your 'working class' kind of places ;) ... and finally there is the George and Dragon which is past Northgate street at the top of Liverpool Road which is cheaper beer too.

Have a good one !
