In a paragraph

Commonhall Street Social is a walk-in Chester bar for craft beer, cider, burgers, Sunday roasts, dogs and a tucked-away terrace.

What it's like

Commonhall sits down a side street between Bridge Street and Watergate Street. It is central enough for an easy stop, but the room and terrace feel removed from the larger bars nearby.

Walk-in beer, food and terrace

The offer is straightforward: craft beer and cider, burgers, Sunday roasts, table tennis and dogs. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere are recurring strengths; no bookings is the practical limitation.

Worth knowing

No bookings makes Commonhall good for a spontaneous drink and risky for a tightly timed group. Keep a backup nearby when town is busy.
