Is it your kind of place?

Go here if

  • You want a simple local pub very close to Chester station.
  • Pool, TV sport, karaoke and a regulars-pub atmosphere are more important than decor.
  • You are doing a low-key station-side pint before or after a train.

Avoid if

  • You want cask ale.
  • You need food.
  • You want a polished city-centre bar.

Do not build a food plan around it. It is mainly an evening pub; check direct for hours, games, sport and outdoor space.

In a paragraph

Bridgewater Arms is a small two-room Crewe Street local near Chester station, useful for inexpensive drinks, pool, sport, karaoke and a straightforward welcome.

What it's like

Bridgewater Arms is a two-room local a few minutes from the station, with pool, television sport and karaoke nights. The etched Wilderspool Brewery windows are the one decorative detail worth stopping to notice.

Small, cheap and properly local

The reason to use it is simpler: inexpensive drinks, friendly staff and regulars who generally make visitors feel included. It works better as an evening pint than as a meal or beer-tasting expedition.

Worth knowing

Bridgewater is small, plain and not a cask or food destination. It earns its place through friendly people, sensible prices and a station-side position that makes a casual pint easy.
