Unfortunately I agree with the comments below. I remember having a great night here as part of a hen do, around 10 years ago and it was a popular bar for the right reasons. I have visited a couple of times recently as part of birthday nights out with different friends and the floor was sticky, the toilets stank and... More

The whole crying shame of it, great location with many many happy memories, nice ambience and furnishings, good food great staff and the feeling of quality, now all of that has gone, in place of it, football, large screens with lager louts and loud music, I don't recognise it as the place that I loved so much, football and giant...

Dirty and Cheap but the place to go for sports on the big screen and plenty of pool, snooker and table football. I wouldn't want to be derogative about this place because it does what it says on the tin. You wouldn't go for the food, scenery or charming staff but people seem to like it for what it is-genuine.

Off the wall is terrible for food and its even worse for a night out. Please don't let this place ruin your day or night go somewhere else. Wetherspoons is much better than Off the wall and that's saying something. More

How on earth did this get up to number five ? Its a rough sports bar, with large plasma screens everywhere and one of those punch bag games on the 1st floor. Says it all really. There are some really very nice bars and cafes in Chester, don't waste your time here. Avoid! More
