| A great pub tucked away in an industrial area. Great crowd, great beers, great time every time. surgecommodore - 9 Oct 2007 11:36 |
| In the same league as the Wellington for beer and atmosphere; really liked the old football programmes etc. Loved it, though the home-brew is not it's strongest point. mtaylor40 - 8 Jul 2006 23:22 |
| This is very much a locals pub, being in the middle of an industrial estate and firmly off the beaten track, but well worth a visit. They brew their own beers on site (which I found pleasant, but not spectacular) and also do at least two more guest ales and real ciders at very reasonable prices. A range of bottled Belgian beers is also available, and they claim to sell food at 'any time'. Decor is very much old photographs of Hull, and they show sport in a non-intrusive manner; screens are there for those who want to watch it but you're not blasted by the commentary. pubcollector - 25 Jun 2006 22:57 |
| I can only concur with Ladnewton's comments - an excellent brewpub, if a little off the beaten track in a rather run-down dockside area north of the city centre. Beers, decor and atmosphere were all outstanding however. A group of Hull rugby fans were chatting to a couple of visiting southerners before we'd even had a chance to order our drinks and immediately offered us a lift to the match, which was a bonus as we'd underestimated the walking distance to the ground. I enjoyed the Whalebone Neckoil bitter; there was also a Mild available along with several ales from other breweries, though sadly none of the seasonal Whalebone beers. I'll defintely be back though!

| Excellent brew pub. I visited last night (12/02/05) having discovered it in Camra's Good Beer Guide. Both staff and locals are as friendly as they come, and all are down-to-earth with a great sense of humour! The beers are superb (last night there were three Whalebone beers plus Tom Woods & T/T Landlord). For those interested in cider, they regularly have two real ones here. The Whalebone beers are superb. The pub is generally homely and welcoming, and the walls opposite the bar are adorned with photographs of old Hull. With the brewery about 2 years old, I am quite surprised that I am the first to suggest this pub, and I recommend it highly. DO visit, you will not be disappointed in any way (unless you turn up when it's shut, that is!!) I give the pub 10/10. PS: Thanks to Keith for that last pint! lad_newton - 13 Feb 2005 23:02 |
