| It used to be the case that if you went in there on most days, you could see Flash Flanagan, ex Hull and Rovers star of the sixties, in there supping, and have a beer with him. The last time I went in here, they had Ayingebrau Pils on tap, which was 6.5%. Absolutely vicious brew for lunchtime drinking when I worked on George Street. Marvellous. Nice atmosphere. Plenty of black and white photos (and some of the other team as well - ha) for a nice history of rugby in Hull. And anyone that knows anything about drinking and visits Hull usually pays a visit to the Rugby Tavern. I found a Rugby Tavern in London recently, in Holborn, but it wasnt really the same. They play Union down there you know. Mathew26 - 15 Jun 2007 13:49 |
| I used to frequent the Rugby in the early 90s, because i worked at the casino down the street. It was always a decent place and we had staff parties there too! Stretch1965 - 17 Jul 2006 08:35 |
| A legendary old pub, once on the Queens Dock where whalers would tie up outside - I think the poub had an associated name. Anyway, many decades ago it became The Rugby when it was taken ovcer by a well known Rugby player (Hull has had hundreds of them - and it was once Bass and Hull Brewery's policy to give them pubs to manage when their playing career is over!) . I used this pub a lot in the early 70s, in the days when it was run by Val and Trevor Eland, who alkso had a folk club upstairs - I remember Billy Connolly showing up one night. I digress. The Rugby has been much expanded since and is now a well run food oriented pub, lots of office types using it, especially the BBC staff from the new BBC TV and radio studio opposite. Its priuces reflect that. Food is good and wholesome, health conscious too. Not a lot of atmnosphere in the evenings, but a ssafe well run pub. DoctorRadio - 14 Feb 2006 17:27 |
