    Excellent service. Everyone is super friendly. We saw a sign advertising a β€œdog pawty” and it was so nice to come to such a friendly environment for the dogs. We were given a gift bag as well for the dogs which was so lovely. Food and drinks as well were smashing. A must come to in Chester!

    Despite being busy, which actually contributed towards a great atmosphere, both the food and service were wonderful. My third visit to Assembly Bar and I’ve always found it a very welcoming and vibrant establishment

    Very cool bar with a great cocktail menu. If you like watching the world go by with a drink grab the seats by the window. Could easily spend all day in here listening to the tunes and working the way through the menu.

    The food here is brilliant. We had pigs cheek, stuffed chicken thighs and calamari. A new favourite place to eat in Chester. It looks more like a bar, although if you don't try the tapas, you are missing out!

    Just called in on as we were passing. Was a bit worried as it was empty but then realised it was only 12.30. Omg the best food we have ever had. So much flavour in everything. Service is second to none. Can't wait to come back.

    We had an excellent experience. The service was very good and James our waiter was very attentive. The cocktails were on point and the food was delicious. The fish with ginger and stems was particularly good. I would recommend

    Visited this place on Saturday, went in for a drink at lunch time, had a couple of fabulous cocktails. Liked it that much we booked a table for food for the evening. The food was beautiful and well presented. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The gentleman running the place was very hands on and very good at he job. I would 100% recommend this place, when visiting Chester.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Visited here for a quick bite to eat at 1900. The place was empty the chef shrugged and huffed when asked if they still did food and immediately brought the sign in which said food served until 9pm. Wrong food was brought to me which was frozen and reheated. Then to top it off, staff were miserable and unapologetic. If you have aby sense, please avoid here like the plague!!!!
