if it's any use, that's where they film hollyoaks so i'd say your chances of bumping into hollyoaks chicks are fairly decent.

Chester has plenty of bars in the city centre, which are pretty good but a bit on the pricey side, but there is only one club that i know of RB's which is just off the Cross towards the Cathedral

Thats true but some scenes are filmed in chester, and the actor/actresses are known to go out in chester quite often, although liverpool is up the road

Quite often see a few Liverpool players out and about.

RB's or Loaf is the best bet for a Friday night.

Its where Liverpudlians with class (if there is such a beast in human existence) go out, ergo costs more. Quite a nice place though, I'd put it on a par with Bath.

Got to recommend the Mongolian BBQ if anyone is eating it's an experience to behold and not to pricey either.

Fill your bowl with meat, add veg, spices and chosen sauce then watch the Mongol cook it all on a hot plate before your eyes.  You can go back up as many times as you like.  

My record is a rather dismal three returns.

 I spent a bit of time in Chester....the Handbridge area...admittedly a few years back, but likening it to Bath, is a bit of a flight of the imagination. I'd say more like Winchester.

I was rather drunk to be fair Reg, much like most of the time I spent in Bath. Hence the rather loose association. Some nice tudor architecture in Chester though IIRC, not that the rabble going to football are likely to appreciate that too much.

Mongolian BBQ's are da bomb. Just got back from lunch at one and I'm finding it difficult to move around too much - unless nature calls of course.

 Fair enough.....Chester is an interesting place and I nearly ended up living there.....there's some good Tudor  building but a lot of appears Tudor is in fact Victorian mock Tudor.
