“…opportunities for communal initiatives in some areas would be extremely reduced, if not nonexistent, without pubs.” theconversation.com/pubs-are-far...

Beer quality in The Mount Inn, Chester excellent. Can't fault this pint of Hyde's Lowry. Always friendly and hospitable locals / staff. Good views of the Dee from the tiered patio too but maybe better to wait until Spring to enjoy it 🌼

Bar blockers were a major problem tbh but despite that, great staff who are able to operate in a high pressure environment meant we didn't have to wait too long at The Old Harkers Arms, Chester before a pint of classic Weetwood Cheshire Cat

For a traditional pub which still shuts in the afternoon The Albion's marketing is very homogeneous (glass, pump clip, beer towel). Northern Rising Unity Stout excellent. Beware Charlie the cat.
