From Roman canal-side vaults to Hollywood-backed football hubs — these are the best bars and pubs in Chester and Wrexham.
Deva & The Dragon
Nestled right on the canal side in Chester, Harkers is the "locals' local." Housed in a former luxury goods warehouse, it offers a sprawling library of whiskey, local cask ales, and one of the best Sunday roasts in the county. It's where the city's history meets its modern social pulse.
