Okay enough - ale was nice enough ( a pint of Cosmic at 6%) but can see where the 'bland' epithet comes from. Not somewhere you'd want to spend a great deal of time in.

Good beers but bland interior and seems food orientated. Nice outside. Chester Pub of the Year!!!
|
Nice old building. Bit dull inside but serves some good beer from its own and other micro breweries.

tatton brewery not yatton apologies
|
a pub that surely deserves to be in the good beer guide,the range of ales over the six handpumps was excellent,and the service quick and friendly. The pint of locally brewed Yatton Brewery "Ale" (£3.10) was divine and very well received in the relaxed atmospheres,8/10

Very disappointed with this pub. It looks good from the outside but inside is a different story.
I was expecting it to be laid back but it was very rowdy. All of the seating at the front of the pub had been taken which left the dining area at the back of the pub the only place to sit with my pint of Spitting Feathers Old Wavertonian. There were two other people sat here who were just having a drink - which is a bit difficult when you're sat at a table with place mats, cutlery and condiments. One of the bar staff even came up to me and asked if I wanted to see the menu!
A large plaque on the wall says something along the lines that this pub is the oldest coaching house in Chester where the first coach with four horses left for Birkenhead.
The Pied Bull isn't a bad pub, but then it's nothing special either!

Nice pub, good ales and friendly staff.

Lovely pub with good food and well-kept real ales. The two gay guys behind the bar, Luke and Tom, are hilarious, too.

A must vist city centre pub. Traditional low, dark wooden beams, open log fire & overall cosy ambience. Regular beer festivals & a great choice on my visit with 6 handpumps - Oxford - IPA, Liverpool Organic - Honey Blonde, Frodsham - Buzzin', Adnams - Broadside, a brew from Titanic & their own Pied Pull beer. 1/3 pint glasses is always a nice touch to be able to sample. They are apparently building a 1 barrel plant in the cellar which will turn it into a micro brewery & will open the end of April. Good luck to them.

Had some excellent mild in here. A nice place to spend some time.

Dropped in here and wished we had stayed here a lovely charming place to while away in Chester. Extremely friendly staff and very helpful. Excellent beer, we did not eat here but we will come back to stay and try out everything they have to offer

Almost at the end of the tourist run steet which make it much more enjoyable. Nice Tiger ale and another historic pub attached to the oldest inn in Chester. Good local feel to the place. Thx.

Great old boozer this. Stay every December after it was recomended by friends & i has become one of the highlighs of our year. The staff have always been friendly & the drinks & food have always been good, Would recomend you stay over ino ne of the haunted rooms!!!

I agree with realalechav - an excellent pub to visit if you're out and about in Chester. Popped in on Thursday and had 2 pints of Everard's Tiger plus a rump steak and chips. Very nice atmosphere but my only gripe is that one bloke seemed to be doing everything - dashing back and forth from the bar to the food counter and taking phone calls in the reception area. Really could do with more staff on in the afternoons. Other than that, a brilliant place.

Fantastic pub. Strongly recommend to stay over here if visiting the city
