Chester bar Off the Wall reopens after six-figure refurbishment

Chester city centre pub Off the Wall has reopened after a six-figure investment. The sports bar, opened in 2010, has become a favourite with university students.

Owners Stonegate say six new jobs have been created at the bar. Lying next to the city walls, the building was previously used as a telephone exchange.

The city wall crosses the pub's beer garden. The pub claims to be Chester's largest sports bar.

During the refurbishment, new lighting and flooring has been installed across both floors, adding to the booming sound system and 'state-of-the-art' lighting system. The dog friendly pub has views of Chester's Roman Gardens from the conservatory area.

Five additional TV screens have been added showing Sky Sports and TNT Sports. The venue is the latest to offer a bottomless brunch, which joins a food offering that features small plates, burgers and pizza.

Daniel White, General Manager of Off The Wall, said: “These renovations align with Stonegate Group’s commitment to always improve and innovate, meaning we can give locals’ the best possible experience at our beloved pub. We want the investment to position our pub as the place to be for students as well as being the premiere place to watch sport in Chester with a huge range of big screens, and great drinks at great prices.

“We’re confident in our top-class beer and tasty food range at competitive prices, and we know we’ve got one of the best, if not the best drinks range in the area, all at affordable prices for both students and locals.”
