We went for bottomless brunch and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever been to! Bottomless drinks and pizza / garlic bread were delicious, there was a DJ as well which created a great atmosphere! Amy was looking after our table and she was amazing. There was a point where we had to wait a little while for drinks, but Amy made sure we were well looked after! Would definitely recommend booking a bottomless brunch! Thank you Amy!

Cam has absolutely nailed it with this music venue. Without a doubt best venue in Chester with some of the best line ups going. The downstairs main area has been refurbished recently and everything from lighting to sound is of the quality you’d expect from a club of this standard. The management staff have it on absolute lock, with Will heading up a solid team. If you’re in Chester and debating this place, don’t even contemplate it, get yourself there.

A big shout out to Will who from the beginning managed our booking for a hen party. Everything went smoothly without a hitch and he even shared our playlist adding in requests when I’m sure he was off duty. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. The bar staff were friendly and professional and the pizzas were fantastic. Thank you so much

Stopped in for a lunchtime cocktail and the gorgeous Rio served me, an absolute rockstar! I don’t like alcohol tastes being too strong and I left the drink for her to make and she absolutely smashed it. Tasted stunning, presentation of the drinks was amazing and the service alone was shining and with certain drinks you get free pizza! Didn’t try the food but the place looks beautiful, lgbtq friendly and would go there again lunch or evening. Love this place and if you happen to get service from Rio I guarantee you’ll have a blast. Not from Chester either so i recommend highly.

We had our sons 18th and my husbands 40th here last weekend. From the start it was extremely well thought out and organised. The night was amazing, catered for all ages and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Will was amazing at planning it all, from the screens with photo slide show, balloons, lighting etc. This is the perfect place in Chester to hold a private party for any occasion. An incredible place!!!

My partner and I immediately spotted this lovely place as we were driving past. Incredible food, lovely friendly staff and a great atmosphere! We also absolutely loved the cocktail menu !

Amazing bottomless brunch. Mountains of drinks and pizza what more does a girl need! Impeccable service from the whole team, but the young brunette gentleman was on point with his service. Can’t fault it a thing. We will sure be back #bottomlessbrunch

We recently hosted a 'Blessing of the Marriage' after-party at Bonobo Bar & Canteen in Chester, and it was absolutely fantastic! We had over 60 guests, including children and the entire team made the evening unforgettable. ...
