Four stars thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been here on a night and it's great for late night boozing in the city centre. But this review reflects on a day time approach to the bar, we used the app which was very quick and straightforward - good pint - nice pudding.
Here is where I get too the real good bit if you find yourself day drinking and looking for interesting facts.
The building in exceptionally old and the ceilings are seriously high. Which made me feel quite grand while slurping my £3 pint of carling in my joggers and flat cap the paintings on the wall made everything work together . I thoroughly enjoy this building. when you step outside for a baggy rolly cos your a little messy, you look up which not often peoples do these days (allways looking at phones) you'll see interesting emblems on the top of the building which will lead you to Google the building, you won't find much so you ring the old boy of the family who hits you with lots of facts.
This just fell short of the full 5 stars. Definitely go and defiantly spend some time and look at the surroundings in...
Read moreThe staff are amazing at seeing uncomfortable situations and intervening quietly and quickly. Me and my friend was there a couple of weeks ago and a very drunk guy came over trying to chat us up and wouldn't leave, he wasn't been aggressive he was just enjoying his night and didnt get the fact we wasnt interested. The female manager stood by and asked if we was ok, told her no, so she went to get the bouncer, I told her they was not necessary and that we just wanted him to move, so she told him to dance somewhere else, which he did. She handled it well. This isnt the first time either, about a year ago they noticed on CTV that me and my friend kept moving from one side of the bar to the other a few times, and noticed that 2 older men was following us, they removed them and told us that we could leave through the back when we was ready to go. They really do look after people in there and it makes you feel safe on a night out. Ive never seen trouble in there when I've been in and the atmosphere...
Read moreCalled at around 12.30 pm whilst in Hull visiting our daughter. Great looking bar but totally let down by the availability of items on the menu. Ordered Steak only to be told there wasn't any so ordered steak pie ( none of that either ) so settled on Cumberland sausage and mash. Got a round of drinks in and sat a good 10 minutes only for someone to come tell me that they only had enough mash for one person ( seriously) I could of made fresh mash from scratch in 8 minutes with the use of a microwave. So as there was yet again an issue we all settled on a refund on the food and had to leave our drinks to go look for lunch elsewhere. No apologies for the inconvenience this caused ad they didn't seem all that bothered that a city centre pub/bar was being let down by its kitchen. Called at Yates with it being a well known brand and expected and good experience with good pub food only to be left with the opposite. Definitely not on the top of my list to visit again next...
