Old Queens Head Chester

You'll find yourself on one of Chester's busiest thoroughfares, but step inside the Old Queens Head and there's a genuine neighbourhood feel that's increasingly rare. The timber-framed building's got character you can't manufacture—it looks like a pub should look, with low ceilings and the kind of worn-in comfort that comes from decades of locals propping up the bar. It's the sort of place where you can nurse a pint of something interesting from their rotating craft selection and actually hear yourself think, or grab a table with mates and settle in for the evening without anyone making you feel rushed.
