This is a club, which means that the bar may be only open to members.

Members only.

St Werburgh's Parish Centre has been sited on the corner of Brook Street since 1975, close to the train station and bus routes.

Based in the historic former Bowling Green Hotel, the Centre offers many facilities - snooker tables, pool, darts, crown green bowls and the traditional game of bagatelle. There is a big screen TV showing Sky Sports.

There is a comfortable function room for hire which accommodates 100 people approx (car parking is available). Non-members welcome for one-off, casual visit but show up regularly and you'll be asked to cough up the £5 annual membership!

Built 1913-14 as Ye Old Bowling Green Hotel and is is the most substantial and well-composed example of John Davies's Vernacular Revival public houses in Chester and built for Greenall Whitley and Co. Note the rare 'Wilderspool Ales' tiles on the exterior and on good etched windows. The interior retains much of its original plan and lots of fittings. There is much good screenwork and leaded glass. The main bar area retains an original brick and wood surround fireplace, an original Tudor arch shaped stone fireplace, dado panelling and fixed seating but the bar fittings are modern. The front right room has its original Tudor arch shaped stone fireplace and fixed seating. A large function room on the left has modern bar fittings. Open staircase leads to a large upstairs room with two snooker tables. It retains a bagatelle table and an active bowling green at the rear.
