In a paragraph
Beer Heroes Chester is the small Watergate Street tap room and bottle shop for rotating draught beer, fridges of cans and bottles, useful advice and dog-friendly drinking.
What it's like
Beer Heroes sits just below Watergate Row, so the room has that curved Chester cellar feel without trying to turn the whole thing into heritage theatre.
Proper beer choice, no dinner plan
The offer is simple: taps, cans, bottles, advice and somewhere to sit while you work out whether the beer name is a joke, a warning or both.
Worth knowing
Beer Heroes is excellent if you enjoy choice, advice and the small theatre of reading a can before buying it. It is less useful if you want a cheap pint, lots of space or a place that can also sort dinner.
