The Golden Eagle takes historic pub values and gives them a contemporary bohemian twist. For lovers of music you will find the finest juke box in town, and a knowledgeable staff who share a passion for music, food and ale. The Eagle is constantly improving and evolving its’ products and facilities.
History
Since 1622 there has been an inn on the current site of the Golden Eagle. As such it is steeped in the history of the city and community. Adjacent to the Chester Castle and Crown Court, the pub served as a hostelry to the Cheshire Regiments Garrison and the barristers and judges of the Court. This tradition has been upheld, and veterans of the regiment still frequent the pub to catch up with old comrades. If you are visiting Chester to absorb its history The Eagle is a prime location, situated within the famous walls which act as a perfect artery to the cities historical heart. If it is Roman history that interests you, the Grosvenor Museum is only yards away. For those interested in military history the Cheshire Regiment Museums are equally close. Chester is also rich in medieval and civil war history. Tour guides often have The Eagle as one of its points of reference.
Races
One of Chester’s most popular attractions is its’ vibrant and colourful racing calendar. The city comes to life with revellers and racing enthusiasts. The Eagle is the perfect hostelry for race goers. Situated adjacent to the race course, it serves as the perfect location to enjoy all that Chester Races has to offer.
Culture
Throughout the year Chester plays host to a myriad of cultural activities such as : the literary festival which is gaining international status and a host of musical and theatrical events, too numerous to mention here. Once again The Eagle is perfectly located as a base to attend any of these events. The Eagle is within very easy walking distance of the magnificent Chester Cathedral which is dedicated to St Werburgh and is an ancient abbey.

This is such a beautiful gem right in the heart of the city. Our host was very attentive and cooked us an incredible vegetarian breakfast which we really appreciated. Our room (and indeed the whole establishment) is full of character and has a lovely welcoming feel to it. We can't recommend The Golden Eagle highly enough!
One of the great old pubs of Chester. Good service and chilled atmosphere. No idiots. Sunday lunch is really good.
Great place to stay for a night in Chester. Publican is very friendly as are all the staff. Quirky room, comfortable and clean. Situated in the centre of Chester, so brilliant for shopping and eating. Second time this year we've stayed and will be back again.
Stayed 30Oct with another 2 nights to come 😁. A real gem of a place tucked away, yet a very, very short walk to all the old town attractions. We have room 3, it is spacious, warm and inviting, with a great comfortable bed. Pics of our breakfast posted. We were so impressed with our breakfast meal, we are booked for the ‘steak nigh’ meal (Tuesday) tonight. A big shout out for the Golden Eagle staff, thankyou for being so warm and welcoming to us 😁
OK so Google asks for ratings on rooms (sorry, can't comment as I didn't stay) and location of pub (ever so slightly out of town, but only a couple of minutes walking). I've lived nearby for many years and sadly not discovered this gem of a pub before. A comfortable, homely place with an excellent range of beers/drinks etc. Chefs night off when I arrived - luckily for me he was behind the bar and pulled stops out left right and centre.. I ended up with a burger & chips impromptu ... and ... wow ... cooked to perfection. Details count and the salad was dressed too. I felt guilty in the end (as well as very grateful) as at least another traveller asked for food on his night off). Good range of tap beers, not too noisy, nice cosy environment. Definitely back for more ... 👍
