Go here if...

  • You need an organised group activity rather than another table with drinks on it.
  • Duckpin bowling, electric darts, Clayshot, mini golf, shuffleboard or boules will keep the group moving.
  • You are planning a birthday, work social, daytime family activity or date that needs structure.
  • Cocktails, pizza, burgers and loaded sides are enough food-and-drink support for the plan.
  • You want something central near Frodsham Street, Chester Market and the bus interchange.

Skip it if...

  • You want a quiet pub, cask ale or a cheap sit-down drink.
  • You dislike timed slots, booking rules or paying per activity.
  • You want an independent Chester-feeling venue.
  • You are bringing under-18s after the family-friendly cut-off.
  • You are wearing sportswear and do not want to think about a dress code.

Book activities ahead, especially weekends. Check direct for time slots, dress code, under-18 rules, food, offers, access and cancellation terms.

What it's like

Spinners Chester is a Frodsham Street activity bar for duckpin bowling, electric darts, Clayshot, interactive mini golf, shuffleboard, boules, cocktails, pizza and group nights.

Spinners is competitive socialising in the most literal sense: duckpin bowling, electric darts, Clayshot, interactive mini golf, shuffleboard and boules in a polished activity-bar room.

It is not a pub and not really a restaurant. It is a booked-in group tool with cocktails and food around the edges. That makes it very useful when the group needs something to do.

Worth knowing

Spinners is a national activity-bar format dropped into Chester, and it behaves like one. That is not romantic, but it is useful. Book it when the group needs structure; skip it when all you wanted was a pint.
