In a paragraph
Stones is a jazz and blues bar under the railway arches on Kitchen Street in Chester, useful for live music, cocktails, food, racecourse plans and atmospheric small-group nights.
What it's like
Stones sits in Arch 2 on Kitchen Street, next to Stixx, and gives the racecourse edge of town a dedicated jazz, blues and soul bar.
Late music, rough-edged fun
The room is there for music first: cocktails, food and a low-lit arch setting around it. Treat it as a night-out bar with food, not a restaurant that happens to own a microphone.
Worth knowing
Stones is promising because it gives Chester another proper music room. It is also young, so go for the line-up and atmosphere rather than expecting a fully settled classic. Music first, food second, sensible expectations third.
