Slug & Lettuce - Chester

You know this spot on Bridge Street – right in the thick of things beneath Chester's famous Rows. While it's part of a chain, this Slug & Lettuce has carved out its own identity with cocktails that don't taste like they've been mixed by a robot and staff who actually seem to care about what they're serving. The weekend crowd can get properly lively, especially when the after-work drinks crowd rolls into the evening party-goers. Their cocktail menu hits the sweet spot between familiar favourites and a few surprises, and the prices won't leave you wincing at the bar. The location alone makes it worth knowing about – you're seconds from the cathedral and perfectly placed for a crawl down Bridge Street.
