What it's like
The Brewery Tap is Spitting Feathers' Chester pub inside Gamul House on Lower Bridge Street: a beer-first, food-capable stop with cask, keg, bottles, cans, dogs, families and a properly historic room.
Go for the combination: a proper beer pub inside one of Chester's more interesting old buildings. The Brewery Tap sits inside Gamul House, a Grade II* listed Lower Bridge Street building with a two-storey great hall and the sort of room that makes a pint feel more Chester than it has any right to.
The beer side is serious without turning the visit into homework: Spitting Feathers, cask, keg, cider, bottles, cans and changing guest beers. King's Kitchen gives it enough food weight for lunch, dinner, bar snacks, Sunday roast or a race-day base.
Worth knowing
The Brewery Tap is one of Chester's stronger pub recommendations, but only if the steps work for your group. Beer, room and food all make sense. Access, kitchen hours and current offers are the bits to check before romanticising it.

Nearby alternatives and add-ons.
Bear & Billet Bear & Billet is the Lower Bridge Street historic-pub stop: black-and-white frontage, old rooms and an easy pause near the walls and river. Good for a pint with visitors or a dog-friendly break, less good if you need quiet, smooth stairs or a meal to carry the whole plan. 
Black Bush Traditional Irish Bar Black Bush is a Lower Bridge Street Irish bar beneath The Brewery Tap, useful for stout, music, small groups and late-ish pints. 
Forty Six Forty Six is the Lower Bridge Street cafe for breakfast, brunch, coffee and a useful stop between the city centre and the river. It is small, practical and good for a refuel before a Dee walk or after deciding sightseeing requires carbohydrates. A calm little reset rather than a big dining plan.
