The gym has good equipment, but there are no paper towels to wipe down benches, which isn't great. The pool itself is fine, but the swim shorts dryer hasn't worked for three months now, which is frustrating. The changing rooms are usually clean, but little things aren't being kept up with as well as they used to be. The restaurant menu also changed recently, and not for the better, which is a shame. It's still a good place, but it feels like it's not being looked after as well as before. Hope they sort these issues out soon. 68/100

It rains a lot in Chester so being able to sit outside under cover in a spacious area is a plus. Lots of high top tables around. Wait staff was a hit and miss. We started with a young girl who was ridiculous but when the fella took over for us, it was much better. (The first waitress wasn't rude. She just wasn't attentive ... at all. lol) Squared away with seating, beers, and mixed drinks we started ordering. It was odd but great to see lots of healthy and cool dining options. We had a cauliflower dish that was the BEST cauliflower I've ever had along with a different seared tuna taco topped with pickled radishes that was delicious. The skewered Thai chicken was good as well as the traditional fish and chips. What's most interesting is this place is billed as a pub like eatery but felt more like a restaurant with a slight pub feel. Cool décor inside and out, clean and hip. Female restrooms on the top floor which are quite a hike when you've been drinking--- just sayin. Great location and prices were decent.

Considering that we were the only other group in the restaurant, you'd think we would have the attention of the staff.

Recently refurbished, the pub has an attractively modern air while still retaining some of its older elements, such as the low ceiling timbers that I smacked my head on repeatedly.

Try that anywhere else and you'd be given a slap and told to behave.

There was 20 in our group with an age range of 27-53, we started a Telford's which was mellow but a good starting point, then went to Bar Lounge which was a little costy and uptight for a few people and then came here and it was a perfect end to the night. The cocktails are fantastic, I was here a few years ago and had one that was lit on fire, you're not just paying for a drink, you're also paying for a show! Even though it's a cocktail bar you can order just a normal drink, gin and tonic, captain and coke and they have a variety of beers. I enjoy one cocktail in the beginning of an evening, 1 sweet sugary drink is good for me and then I like something basic the remainder of the night. The music in here is fantastic, although there really isn't a designated dance floor we all danced the night away. It's one of those places with dancing music, and there's enough room to walk through a crowd of people dancing. Being from California, the one thing about the end of a good night is that the bar staff are rude, they're so angry at 1/2am when they're telling you to get out and leaving Cuckoo last Saturday was one of the highlights of my trip. The entire bar staff sat on the front of the bar all in align with one another singing, waving bye, it was like they really enjoyed serving you all night and wished you a farewell goodbye, I just thought that was nice. Everyone knows you have to leave but it's nice to be sent off on a good note. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Whilst just stood talking to my friend... a (drunk)bouncer came over and stood intimidatingly in front of us and told me to sit down because I was too drunk(?!) I wasn't drunk at all! He then went back to the bar and continued drinking his beer. But then came back again and insisted that I sit down. He didn't talk to me the second time but just talked to my friends who all thought it was hilarious because I was the most sober there! This laughable experience is dwarfed however by the fact that a friend of mine was assaulted by the bar staff for simply questioning the amount of change he received. The Bar tender came around the other side of the bar to explain and when my friend realised that he had had the correct change apologised and put out his hand out to shake his hand. The hand was received, crushed, he pulled him into a headlock and then and deliberately poked him in the eye with his thumb while holding onto his head. We left shortly after. We know his name and I am encouraging my friend to report the assault to the police. Finally, The sitting on the bar thing to mark the end of the night I can see how this is potentially a nicer send off than most. Its a rather odd! and they were banging things and making a racket to me its seemed rather passive aggressive and would rather they just turned the lights on and the music off! I wont be going back again.

Hidden away…read morealongside Wakiki on watergate street my first visit here was short lived as fashionable lateness had cost me last orders. Howevver we promptly returned the week after and immediately fell in love with the place. What an incredible experiance. First thing you notice is the size of the place. (Tiny) It genuinely feels like a hidden bar from the prohibition era with incredible decor and music that suits the Blues/Jazzy environment to perfection. Being here is like traveling back in time to the 20's when alcohol was illegal and small secret bars like these were littered across America. The theme is consistent with the menu hidden inside a book that's handed to you upon arrival. So mesmerized were we with the vibe and conversation the cocktail taste bud memories are hazy at best. (I'll leave you with a visual of the cocktails we had. One was lemon based the other strawberry based?) This is THE perfect place for those who like sophisticated conversation with your aptly aesthetic cocktails. It's not noisey, it's not busy, it's just right. Definitely worth a visit. I'll certainly be returning.
