The Cornerhouse

Situated in Chester's thriving Canal Quarter, The Cornerhouse is a characterful, independent bar, housed in a beautiful listed building. It’s spirit comes from those who run it, the team behind the multi-award winning bar, The Cellar, also on City Road.

Carefully selected, interesting wines, gins and cask ales are complimented by generous platters of cheese, charcuterie and mezze alongside pizzas cooked to order, perfect for sharing. Lose hours lounging on old leather wingbacks, read the papers, and challenge friends to a board game in front of the fire.

We are open every day from midday. Please text Ben on 07735270833 to reserve a table.

We host live music every Friday and Saturday from 9pm.

The Weekly Cornerhouse Quiz takes place every Sunday at 7.30pm with Sunday Roast available 12-6pm. Booking advised.
