Ye Olde White Harte, Hull

great historic pub with tons of original fittings and features with a lovely courtyard . great selection of beers and lagers . no music or tv and this definitely makes it quiet when only a few in but there's always something to see and talk about . Can appear dark and dingy after coming in from the sun as there's very few windows . Windows they have are all frosted or stained and leaded !...Cosy near fire when its cold outside . Kitchen closed currently . Not the most disabled accessible place but staff friendly and I assume would assist as required ( toilets up a few steps etc ). Definitely a tourist visit for the real ale lover !

George Hotel, Hull

A new landlord with great enthusiasm for the place and its history . Definitely pulled its socks up up over the last year or so . Clean , refreshed and getting popular with all ages . Good circuit pub at weekend as are all in that area but with a sensible weekday crowd . A small but tasty menu and looking at expanding to the current underused function room upstairs . Great selection of real ales and the usual lagers for the boys! Pipers crisps , pickled eggs , DVD playing of old pubs of Hull ( available to buy), covered smoking area in the old courtyard , also getting a makeover , what more do you need . Oh yes nice new toilets !!..... Original bench seating along the back wall with stools facing . And my partner particularly noticed that ALL the bulbs in the chandeliers work every time we go in !!. And check out the smallest window , always popular and what makes the bar famous!!

The Kingston Hotel, Hull

Another pub with a make over but actually in keeping . Wooden floor could do with a varnish though ! Decent selection of real ales but I stick with Mansfield Smooth . Plenty of lager and alcopops for the circuit crowd on a weekend as a few decent drinking bars in area now . Always seems to play 80s music when I'm in at varying levels depending on crowd in ( not a problem for me !). Clientele ranges from older regulars to a stag and hen party in last weekend. Not the biggest pub and can get crowded but plenty of floor space ( no clutter just a few tables and chairs round the outside ). Little room available with a couple of tables and stools and a TV ( Tuggers Snug ?) . Some great hull history pictures and memories of the river pilots .
