What else can be said what has already been mention.
Great for a pre or post match drink,KC stadium only a 20 min walk.
6 ale's, ciders on draft, conti beers-on draft or bottles.Staff and regulars very friendly.Opens mon-thu 4-11 fri sat 12-12 sun 12-11. From a purely beer point of view, this is easily the best pub in Hull. Slightly out of the way, being the 'wrong' side of Freetown Way but then the trek is well worth it. Even possible to engage in amusing conversation with strangers. Music on Thursdays, but don't let that put you off. Very good pub shame it was empty on my visit last Saturday afternoon. Never mind, all that beer to myself!.

Well I am pleased to say that since my last posting of Oct 2009, no worries here. How many pubs can you go to when the answer to a casual question from the bar tender to "Who brews Walters Pale Ale for you?" is "Me!" And an establishment that is selling 10 cask ales, is busy mid week and selling top condition ale at a reasonable price in a contemporary environment - enough said. Keep the good work up Al and Paul. And can you open a branch in Canary Wharf please where I work and beer costs over a pound a pint more, from a child of Hull!Nearest thing to a real 'bar' in Hull. 13 real ales to choose from, great selection of Euro-Lagers, friendly locals & staff. Wins CAMRA awards, also has 'the cleanest cellar in Hull'. Go. Now.A bar rather than a pub: however don't let that put you off. Very friendly and efficient service, and a good atmosphere from the locals. Definitely no chavs, and good choice of classic rock on the PA system. Seemed quite an intimate venue.
Big range of interesting ales at fair prices. The ales were well kept with one exception: the Bass on special offer was watery. I think that was an unfortunate one-off since the others were much better.
One of the better venues in Hull.

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

Great boozer for meeting people, has some nice ales and real cider... shame you can never get served.An average 'Spoons, service ok but not brilliant when I visited on a quiet Sunday evening. Usual 'Spoons food menu and a decent selection of cask ales; the one I tried was well kept.Difficult to get served sometimes, despite not many punters. Not somewhere you'd go on a first date but cheap & cheerful.

Typical 'Spoons, as they say. Never quite enough staff if more than a handful in, but how else do they keep the prices down?. Had ham 'n' eggs the other week, v. nice as was the Guinness. Slight capacity for knobhead-element attraction, being at the northern end of 'Owld Town'. Spacious, light, bit of a hangar though,Yes I was in here last Friday (5/03) and was impressed.
10 hand pumps:- 1 for Abbott, 1 for Ruddles, 2 for Cider & 6 Guest Ales.
Nice clean and bright..very good for a JDW houseAgree with the previous comment. We were impressed with the pub and also with the beer choice.

Stayed in Hull, visited Hop & Vine twice, wasn't impressed.

For starters, *when* it is open, they tend to open late, or at least did on my first visit. Then once I was let in, there were problems pulling my ale. Eventually, I enjoyed something called Holderness Mild. Although I left soon after as there was/is an awkward atmosphere.

On my second visit, the girl behind the bar told me they had ran out of everything I asked for and couldn't change it. I left, unhappy. Shoddy.

There are much better places to visit when in Hull, and from what I can see, places that are much more worthy winners of awards such as 'pub of the year'. Incidentally, it turns out that the guy that runs it is high up in the local branch of camra - who'd have thunk it?! A fix? i think so.
Seems to win endless awards from CAMRA, but most times I've visited, I've been the only customer. Been in a few times to find no-one serving, other times just me & the landlord looking at each other. Pity, because I love small, downstairs bars. Just seems a trifle lacking in atmosphere. Maybe I go at the wrong times.

Been in a few times and always been a bit disappointed, as it has never quite matched up to the billing. Only ever had a couple of beers on when I've visited (presumably because the rest have been drunk, so fair enough), which have been ok, but the pub itself has been stuffy and humid, a bit grotty, not especially friendly and virtually empty. The tiny outside seating area is a disgrace, the grubbiness giving a bad impression from the off. Could be much more of an asset.

The local camra seem to love it, but after giving it a few chances I'm struggling to see why. I can see what they're trying to do, but it doesn't seem to be working very well when I go there.
