Watergates Bar

(5 votes)
Watergates Bar Watergates is a large underground bar in Chesters center. It has many rooms some that used to be old wine cellers. The main room has a huge bar that has every sort of alcohol you can wish for, lager, bitter, spirits, champagne, wine and more. There are side rooms sort of like booths with leather seats that can be nice to sit in so you can be in private. There is a very nice sort of VIP style room at the back with all leather seats but it isn't VIP andyone can go in but not many people know about it so you can have it to yourselves. There is also a long corridor with a restaurant style setup with chairs and tables.

They have a roof terrace with heaters so you can have a drink or some food upstairs all year round. Overall it is a very nice big bar that it well worth a visit on a night out, make sure you are in the right clothes to get past the bouncers tho (trainers are fine but no ripped jeans or tracksuits).

We reccomend this bar to anyone who wants to go to a big bar that has many drinks to offer and wants a seat as there are many in this place. They also have a great wine list and cocktail list.

Really nice place with friendly staff and good food. First time I'd been in in the daytime and was really happy.

WORST FOOD & SERVICE IVE EVER HAD TO ENDURE.
the moment we arrived in this bar the service was lacking! We had our little boy with us and the staff couldnt have been more dismissive of us when we asked we could leave the buggy instead of carting it up and down stair ways. We then ordered food lunch menu (please note bar was not exceptionally busy) and it took over 1 hour to get two main courses!!!!! When they arrived I have honestly never been served worse food our meals were simple 1 standard burger & fries 1 veggie burger & fries. My partners burger was totally burnt & cold! Disasterous! Mine was the driest specimine of food. The staff are afraid to smile and I can honestly say we will never be back again & dont recommend it to anyone.
