Fuck off! It doesn't say that!cba to look but that's a classic.
That's got to become the standard review for hipster bars. "Have you checked out the Trout & Rocket? Pure WMC style."
eta: fuck it, I had a look. "Complete with tuck shop." I take my hat off to whoever had the massive brass balls to put that on the website.
That actually made me laugh out loud. Wankers
A beer fucking bible Give us a pint of something brown, cheap and tasty please
Yes, yes you should.Right, I'm in town so should I wander over to see how wanky it is and report back? I'm a bit beardy at the moment so I shouldn't raise suspicion.
Shiz, Dudes, Have a butchers
Family hostileI go and have a pint here every now and then to meet an old codge relative coz it's his local and the only place he will drink. It's courted a lot of controversy over the years including the landlord getting uppity about access rights and all sorts of shit. It's actually quite a weird anti hipster pub. The other extreme if you will.

Some of the reviews are hilarious. I think a few folk just go there to wind up the landlord
Obvs It's not Manchester but it's kinda on topic
Your wish is my command! I'm just going to buy some bits and bobs, then I'll head over. By the time I get there the painkillers I took before I went out should have kicked in, so that might make it more surreal.

that's fairly impressive - I don't think that many boozers can afford to be so picky these days - how busy does it get?I go and have a pint here every now and then to meet an old codge relative coz it's his local and the only place he will drink.

It's always fairly busy I think. Last time I was in there I took the love of my life in April time I think and we had cheese and onion barms straight off the bar and a pint each for under a tenner. There were plenty of folk in it then.that's fairly impressive - I don't think that many boozers can afford to be so picky these days - how busy does it get?

It is pretty much right in the center of Chester with a small Victorian terrace residential area around it so it is mainly locals who use it. However it also gets it's fair share of tourists as well because you see it from the roman walls and it's such a step back in time I think it's become a bit of a victim to it's own unwanted success. It's worth a visit though if only to experience the local people
The funny thing is with all the war memorabilia shit that's become trendy this past year or two and the Don't panic brand it probably looks like it's had a makeover but its been like that as long as I can remember.
I'm here now with a pint of something or other - I just picked at random, and it's ok. Think it was called Faithless.I want pics of the MASSIVE BEERAPHILES behind the bar ok?
