The Flat Earth

You'll find The Flat Earth tucked away on Newgate Street, in that stretch where Chester still feels like a proper town rather than just the tourist trail. This is the kind of pub where regulars have their spot at the bar and the staff remember what you drink without asking the third time. The place has that lived-in warmth you can't manufacture—worn wood, good lighting that doesn't try too hard, and a real sense that people come here because they genuinely want to, not because they're ticking off a list. The drinks programme suggests someone actually cares what goes in your glass, whether that's craft beer, natural wine, or a proper cocktail made with thought rather than speed.
