Is it your kind of place?

Go here if

  • You want cocktails, colour, brunch and a room that leans into the night-out bit.
  • You are planning a birthday, hen group, race-day stop, afternoon tea or bottomless brunch.
  • You like somewhere photogenic and central before moving around Watergate Street.

Avoid if

  • You want a quiet dinner.
  • You dislike pink decor, selfie walls and a venue that knows its angles.
  • You need a kitchen-first restaurant rather than a cocktail/brunch place.

Book for brunch, afternoon tea, parties, hen groups and weekends. Check deposits, time limits, offer terms and group rules direct.

In a paragraph

Palm is the pink Watergate Street cocktail bar and eatery, useful for bottomless brunch, afternoon tea, birthdays, hen groups, cocktails, late opening and a central Chester night-out start.

What it's like

Palm is not subtle. It is pink stairs, flower wall, cocktails, brunch, afternoon tea and Watergate Street group energy. That is the product, and it is better for everyone if we admit it early.

Pink cocktails for group birthdays

By day it can be brunch, afternoon tea and snacky food. From early evening, the cocktail-bar side takes over. Use it for fun, photos and a lively stop, not for calm, candlelit restraint.

Worth knowing

Palm is best when you want pink, cocktails, brunch and group energy. It is not the place for a quiet serious meal. That is not a flaw; it is the operating manual.
