Hull pub crawl 18th March 2016

[Dave M]

Furley & Co, 18-20 Princes Dock St, HU1 2LP hasn't been added yet but also gets a good write up (Dave - finger)

You obviously haven't looked properly.

Will deal with the rest of the backlog tomorrow.

As a rule I can usually do either day. Why not set Oxford in summer as a Saturday and see how it goes?

Would be good for me. I can manage to get Fridays off most the time but work issues have cost me a couple of trips in the past.

First pass list of pubs to visit in Hull, in no particular order

The Admiral of the Humber (JD Wetherspoon)
The Minerva
Walters
Ye Olde Black Boy
The Lion and Key
Ye Olde White Harte
The Hop & Vine
The Whalebone

Wm. Hawkes ?
The Old House ?

Oscars gets a decent write up in Pub Mirror (4 pulls local breweries)
Furley & Co, 18-20 Princes Dock St, HU1 2LP hasn't been added yet but also gets a good write up (Dave - finger)

Definitely Wm Hawkes, Oscars was poor last time we were in, so I hope it's improved.

I would also add

The Three John Scotts (JD Wetherspoon) Best of the 3 JDWs
Sailmakers Arms

A couple of wildcards for those who need to get their quota in

The Old English Gentleman
The Manchester Arms

I'll no doubt arrive on the Thursday, so assumimg that we'll be staying in the centre I may well go and fill in a few gaps up on Newland Avenue.

We'd better warn Stewart we're coming if we're doing the Hop & Vine, we may have to do shifts it's that small.

Hi all,

i stayed at the Gilson Hotel when i went to Hull and back. Basic and cheap. Near the train station and just round the corner from the Spoons you will all be meeting at.

Not really wanting to enter in to the Friday/Saturday debate but here is my personal opinion.

I struggle to do Fridays due to work. Trains are also more expensive.

I would have voted for Huddersfield as i haven't been there ! I didn't vote because I am not attending.

Have a good day...

Del.

"After being named the least romantic city in the UK in 2015, and once crowned one of the “crap towns” of the UK, things are finally looking up for Hull. It’s the UK City of Culture in 2017, so this year is Hull‘s practice run. It’ll be brimming with new hotels and restaurants, and even more of that distinctive home-grown creativity the city has always had. There are atmospheric old-timey pubs, eight excellent museums and a picturesque Old Town with cobbled streets."

[trainman]

Cobbles AND Museums..? I doubt I'll meet any of you lot, with your old-timey pubs malarkey!

[oldboots]

Oscars was poor last time we were in, so I hope it's improved.

Current issue of Pub Mirror says "Cask ale has also made a welcome return to Oscars bar in the form of four hand pumps. Early signs are very positive with local breweries particularly well supported."

We'd better warn Stuart we're coming if we're doing the Hop & Vine, we may have to do shifts it's that small.

Absolutely, I'd call it a micro-pub

[ROBCamra]

OK I'm in.

Booked into the Premier Inn where we've stayed several times before.

Opposite end of the city to the station, but close to the best pubs and currently £35 per night.

Also close to the best JDW in town for breakfast.

Once you walk away from the city centre almost all of Hull is pretty grim,go over the river hull into East Hull and try and find a decent pub that PUG members would like to do,i quite enjoyed doing the area,but it is not for PUG members,the same goes for West Hull and North Hull apart from the trendy bars that keep opening on newland.
