Commonhall Street Social

Walk down Commonhall Street towards the river and you'll find yourself in one of Chester's best-kept corners. Commonhall Street Social is the sort of place that feels like it's been there for ages, even though it's got a refreshingly contemporary edge. You'll notice the stripped-back interior, the kind of vibe that works equally well for a solo drink at the bar or a catch-up with mates. The cocktail list won't pretend to be something it's not — these are proper drinks made with actual skill, priced fairly at around £8-10. Food-wise, expect sensible stuff that's clearly made to order, not just bar snacks as an afterthought.
