The Commercial Bar & Hotel - Chester

Hidden gem in small courtyard accessed via alley at lower end of Northgate street.

This is a ok placeif your look for a nice place to drink in the middle of the city than this is the place especially at night.

Good fortune and last minute phone calls introduced Andrew, one of many happy and professional staff at The Commercial.

Not impressed. 5 minutes before our booking I got in and said hello we've booked a book I was rudely said they've given 're late we've given her table away. I had emails and booking confirmations that our table was for 6 o'clock, but they were shamed that it was booked for 5:30. after the first booking we were asked to send over our food order days in advance, because there were more than 6 of us because the food was freshened....okay but eating was at best sufficient. nothing cried us fresh! we were pushed into a rear room behind a curtain without music or other people, no ambiente at all, while the rest of the place was dizzying. we asked the waitress, who was incredibly rude all night and was short) if we could have music in the room, she turned on the music so loud that we couldn't hear each other and we had to find another waiter to kindly turn it on us. we were really disappointed and wanted to drink one night, but we moved on quickly! we don't want to go back there!

We truly loved every aspect of the bar and the accommodations in which we stayed.
