What Kirsty M doesn't like about The Watergates:
I have never experienced rude staff and bouncers like it! Had a great day at the races with a group of couples, walked in here, place had a foul smell, staff attitude was disgusting. Lady bouncer with glasses needs to have a serious word with herself. Ruined our night. Advised at all costs!!!!! View all feedback. What User likes about The Watergates:
personal friendly. beautiful seating and atmosphere. coffee well and at the normal price. feels like a hidden gem. toilet clean, although hand dryer does not work. selection of food and cake. View all feedback.

Nestled on Watergate Street in Chester, this charming pub combines cozy decor with a spacious atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for dinner or drinks. Guests can enjoy a diverse menu, featuring classic English dishes like Sunday roasts, fish and chips, and hearty stews, complemented by a selection of guest ales. While many appreciate the relaxed vibe and friendly service, experiences can vary; instances of slow service and unfriendly staff have been reported. Despite this, most patrons rave about the delicious food and overall pleasant environment, ensuring it remains a popular choice for both locals and visitors alike.
