The newest addition to the Chester food and drink scene is set to open its doors on the 12th July in the former library building on Northgate street creating 70 jobs. The new restaurant is the first part of the Northgate development to open. Owners Loungers say that they can’t wait to “bring a touch of glamour and our fresh, modern menu to the food scene”
Cosy Club is located within the exquisite terracotta façade of the former Westminster Coach and Carriage Works, first built in 1914, although there has been a coachworks on the Northgate site since 1870.

The overall style of the restaurant takes inspiration from the Aesthetic movement and the ebonised late Victorian furniture. The décor includes nods to the buildings heritage as a motor works with motoring memorabilia within the cabinets and the artwork. The panelling throughout has been influenced by the William Morris room in the V&A, with intricate fabric by Morris featured within the panels themselves. The magnificent wooden aesthetic movement lights were made bespoke for the building.
