In a paragraph
The Golden Eagle is a traditional Castle Street pub with cask ale, a music-minded bar, live sets, dog-friendly drinking and rooms with breakfast upstairs.
What it's like
The Golden Eagle sits between Grosvenor Museum and Chester Castle, a short turn away from the main Bridge Street flow. Dark wood, cask ale and a well-used jukebox give it the feel of a traditional drinking pub rather than a food-led chain.
Traditional pub, music and rooms
Rooms are available above the pub with continental breakfast included. Some have record players, but stairs and music or street noise make it important to check the exact room before booking.
Worth knowing
The pub is straightforward to recommend for a pint and music. Food and accommodation need more checking: the meal schedule is unclear, rooms require stairs and a quiet night is not guaranteed.
