If you want to enjoy a taste of Belgium beer in Chester, this is the place for you. Fantastic range of keg/draft/bottled beer, well kept and served. The "cavern" is located in an airy loft, above Paysan. And the pictures don't lie, the decor is an absolute treat.

It took two attempts but I finally found this brilliant and quirky bar. You enter via the wine bar downstairs and it’s almost like you’ve entered a secret bar. The beer list is long and the decor, furniture and gnome based theme makes for a brilliant experience. The two beers I tried were faultless and I don’t think I stopped smiling from the second I entered until the second I left.

I wasn't disappointed, the beers were goodwith a good selection and the food was good with good value for money I did struggle to find it as its upstairs in a wine bar It's definitely worth trying out if you like your beer

First Class Quirky Beer House. My German beer came in a frozen glass stein. BBQ Chicken chips and Mayo off scale. Only fault was no cooking bitter but all the plus points made up for that

Visited two times this last week. Great selection of beers, informed staff and a great sound track. Did anyone mention the quirky decor? Bonkers.

Don’t come to Chester without checking out this place. Quirky doesn’t do it justice. Mushrooms for bar stools and an enormous gnome next to the bar all adds to making it extra special while you sup some very fine ales and continental beers. If ale isn’t you’re thing then this probably ain’t your place but it does sit above Paysan a very fine wine bar and there’s always a game of “spot the most expensive wine” on the three enormous chalk boards as you visit the toilets shared by both bars. We didn’t eat here so can’t review the food it smells and looks delicious. A great place to spend an hour (or several)
