A Chester city centre pub has reopened its doors following a six-figure revamp, creating six new jobs as a result.
Built in 1904 as a telephone exchange, Off the Wall lies next to a famous Roman wall which was built all the way back in 70AD, with the same wall crossing over into the pub’s beer garden.

Over the years, the building has been home to various businesses, including a showroom and a café. Since 2010, it became Off The Wall.
Part of Stonegate Group’s Social Pub and Kitchen collection, the pub group has reinvigorated this city centre pub with a big transformation.

Internally, both floors have received a huge revamp. The first floor features a large bar and is available for hire for occasions such as birthdays and weddings.
Sat opposite the Chester Roman Gardens, the pub is also a popular spot for dog walkers with four-legged friends welcome throughout the pub for a post-walk pint. What’s more, Off The Wall provides a view of the Roman Gardens from the pub’s conservatory area.

Vibrant contemporary décor is scattered throughout the venue, brought to life by a feature mural from Tiny Rebel, whose beers join a line-up of craft including options from Brixton & Beavertown.
Off the Wall general manager Daniel White and his team are still taking applications for both students and local teams and societies so get in touch if you want to know more.
