Property details
The Oddfellows Arms is ready for a talented publican to take the lead. This is a pub with real character, sitting proudly on Frodsham Street in Chester. It’s housed in a beautiful 19th-century brick building, full of charm with timber beams, stained-glass windows, and a stone-flagged floor. A recent refurbishment has made it even more inviting.
This is a pub that buzzes with life. It’s surrounded by Chester’s historic sights and sits on the edge of the old town, just a short walk from the city centre. It’s a place to relax, to celebrate, to enjoy a cold pint or a well-priced glass of wine. The atmosphere is friendly, the service is warm, and the crowd is always up for a fantastic time.
Oddfellows is more than a pub. It’s a community hub. It’s a place people look forward to visiting. If you’re someone who knows how to create great experiences, build local connections, and run a pub with pride, this is your chance. Oddfellows Arms is waiting for you.
Step inside and you’ll find a warm, welcoming space. The bar greets you on the right, with a snug tucked away at the back and a larger room opposite that’s perfect for live music, quizzes, and karaoke. Locals love it. Students flock to it. Visitors find it by chance and come back repeatedly.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a lounge, and a private kitchen.
