Built in the 17th century to replace a building destroyed during the civil war. It was once owned by the Earls of Shrewsbury, who controlled the nearby Bridgegate. It is not clear how the pub got its name, because the bear and billet was a symbol of the Earls of Warwick. The building is dated on the front gable to 1664 and was rebuilt after the siege of Chester during the English Civil War in 1645. The building replaced an earlier building damaged by cannon and mortar fire from the besieging forces. The Pub is on three floors and now has newly installed wide screen TVs. The Bear and Billet is located on Lower Bridge Street on the west side just inside the Bridgegate. With such a large building it is hard to miss. Inside this three storey building you can find a bar on the ground floor and a restaurant and lounge on the upper floors. The building contains allot of exposed original timber beam.
