Is it your kind of place?

Go here if

  • You are planning around Chester Racecourse, Kitchen Street or the city walls.

Avoid if

  • You want a quiet candle-lit dinner.
  • You need polished fine-dining pacing.
  • You dislike smoke, music, sport screens or lively group rooms.

In a paragraph

Stixx Alfresco Bar & Braai is a South African bar and braai under the railway arches by Chester Racecourse, useful for grilled food, groups, sport, dogs, children and lively drinks.

What it's like

Stixx sits under the railway arches on Kitchen Street, beside the racecourse, and gives Chester something more specific than another grill bar: South African braai, fire, sharing, sport and drinks.

Outdoor braai, weather doing work

It works best when the table wants a lively meal. The food is part of the atmosphere: smoky, communal and better suited to ordering for the table than quietly inspecting one neat plate.

Worth knowing

Stixx earns attention because it is specific: South African braai, arches, racecourse edge, sport and a lively bar feel. The same energy makes it the wrong choice for anyone after quiet, precise restaurant manners.
