Now The Lion & Key, with a microbrewery at the back (not yet running?). Much improved for it. Had about 6 ales on, inlcuding a couple from Newsome Brewery. Well worth stopping off between White Harte, Walters and Black Boy.

Lovely bar. Recent refurb - looks fab! Proper Hull 'Old Town' bar with a modern twist. Tucked away in one of our lovely old cobbled streets. Seems to attract friendly groups of people and always get served quickly by friendly staff. Pity no more live bands on a Sat night - and still miss the oversized Connect 4!!

Great dedicated real cider pub (and ale too if you're that way inclined) and now serving food too!

Quite a narrow selection of unappetising reale ales on this visit. Still a bit of rock/goth/indie/music pub, popular with the non-chav young 'uns. Big sofas and leather seats, large and roomy bar. Not an essential stop for the discerning real ale drinker, but it's always full of life and worth a look.

Terrific. Very friendly, best in the area.

Now just called 'Nellys' and run by the same people who own Walters, up the street, with similar large selection of drinks.

Great pub. As referred to below, look out for David Elf, who can literally play any song you like on the guitar. The pub also has one of the best barman I've ever been served by, ginger haired fella with a ponytail. Never too much trouble for him to pour your Guiness and bring it over to your table for you to save you waiting at the bar.

I think this pub has been refurbished since the previous reviews, and is very nice now. It's run by the same people as Walter's and has a very good selection of beers and a good atmosphere at the weekends. It's pretty quiet during the week, but at least you're guaranteed a seat.

Great pub with awesome monthly comedy lineup

Busy most Fridays and Saturdays when there is live music (usually Irish but look out for David Elf). Music generally starts about 9.30 till 12.30ish.
Guinness is OK but I was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of Black Sheep last weekend.
Best part of the experience is the service - no matter how busy you are never lept waiting long and the staff are always pleasant.

As an irishman(woman)this bar was not overly cheesy and always packed on st Paddys day! But the stout needs a bit of improvment! All in all good atmosphere.

Pseudo Irish songs on a loop, giant Jenga and table football, nice comfy sofas at the front. Would you believe they serve Guinness? The Durty Nelly's on tap is no more unfortunately (although they might empty a drip tray into a glass for you if you're lucky)
