What it's like
The Stanley Arms is a Brook Street pub in Chester for beer, sport, pool, darts, live music, dogs, outdoor seating and station-side pub use.
The Stanley Arms is a Brook Street local: open-plan, knocked-about, sports and music TV, pool, darts and a useful position between Chester station and the centre.
It is not trying to be polished. That is the appeal if you want a proper pub stop; less appealing if your plan involves cocktails, dinner or someone saying "cute" at the furniture.
Worth knowing
The Stanley Arms makes sense when you judge it as a Brook Street local, not as a curated city-break pub. Go for a pint, sport, pool or darts near the station. Leave the romance to someone with candles.
