Perfect spot for drinks after work. Excellent terrace with views over the race course. Very popular and place was buzzing when we were there. Bit of a queue at the bar.

This is a lovely location, probably one of the best in their chain. Food is excellent and the smaller dining area makes it seem more than a pub.

such a lovely lunch- the food was delicious and the service was excellent
The Architect is a classic pub restaurant within Chester's city walls overlooking the racecourse at Roodee. We are named in honour of Thomas Harrison, a prolific architect who designed the building as his own residence, along with designing Grosvenor Bridge and much of Chester Castle. The pub is a story of two halves: turn right through the glass connecting passage and the original Georgian building has cosy, domestic rooms that naturally lend themselves to a series of intimate dining rooms in classic style. Turn left into the new garden room and you'll find a spacious open plan room with a large bar at its heart and a buzzy, pubby feel to things, with glazed doors leading out to the dining terrace.
