It's a struggle to find because you have to go up a level in the old town then through a wine bar and up the stairs but it is well worth the hunt. Only 4 cask ales (quality by the way ) but the choice of Keg is phenomenal. Food looked fabulous but wasn't hungry, will definitely call in again, now I know where it is.

Great place to spend a good afternoon enjoying some great, and well kept, beers. Staff were spot on, knowledgeable about the brews and other drinks that they have on offer, as well as prompt service at the bar... which always makes the experience flow.It is also pleasant to see a business that is happy to share their own opinions about the wider world, and not just the great beers that they are pouring. So as a Russian speaker and general Russophile, I give you a big thumbs up.

New bar for Ic and Flic and me. In CAMRA 2023 Beer Guide. On left side heading down Bridge St to river. On upper deck find Paysan wine bar. Enter, pass bar, up stairs and voila. Beer only bar..4 real ales and lots of Belgium beers. Bring wine etc up from Paysan. Where toilets are. Excellent bar. Ic had a pint of Chapter Taller than a horse" pale ale for £4.90. Very good."

Atmospheric and chill place to grab a drink and well seasoned and tasty rotisserie chicken. Staff were very friendly, especially in the wine bar downstairs.Brilliant Belgian beer selection. Half rotisserie chicken and chips was £11.95(?) but had we gone two days prior they had one of their surprise £5 chicken and chips deals which they announce on socials.

Quirky hidden gem in Chester. Upstairs from Paysan (you'd miss it if you didn't know about it). Lots of attention to detail and if you're a fan of Belgian beer, you'll love it here!

Best place in Chester. Amazing array of interesting beers, excellent atmosphere and the chicken and chips is something else. Better still, you can leave the missus downstairs at the wine bar.

Great selection of continental beers, draft and bottled. V extensive wine list. Serve small plates of cured meats and cheeses which looked fabulous. Will call next time in Chester.

This was a surprise to me,a massive super cool looking dedicated Belgian beer bar. Biggest selection of Belgian beers I've seen for a long time. Draft selection was fantastic too. A touch on the expensive side but it's to be expected given how hard it must be to import stuff post brexit

A real privilege drinking ale in here. Not just a classic bar but 4 cask pumps are pouring undoubtedly the best beer I’ll probably drink this week. Well worth seeking out and if you manage to secure a table - do not venture anywhere else❗️
