Entertainment, Restaurants and Bars

Being fully a port by having an ever changing population of seamen and travellers, Hull has plenty of bars, restaurants and entertainment venues to satisfy each of the visitors and residents in the town; it also offers several'Hull'festivals through the year. Possibly of interest to individuals who like visiting pubs is so it has one of the highest concentrations of pubs and bars in a UK city. Nightlife is also buoyed up most weeks due to the presence of a university campus at the north of the city boundary. Alternatively, if you fancy something only a little quieter it's easy to have out to the county of Yorkshire and sample a having a drink or meal in a village pub.

Bars and Pubs:-
Difficult because it is to pick out any pubs Prescott Restaurants for Hull the following are a number of the more established and popular ones. The Olde White Harte on Silver Street is without a doubt one of many oldest pubs and buildings in Hull. Situated in the splendidly named'Land of Green Ginger'part of old Hull, it is just a 16th century courtyard pub and is believed to own once been the residence to the Governor of Hull during the time of the English Civil war.

Old and dark wood, stained glass windows and'sit-in'fireplaces denote age this pub which serves a great collection of guest beers and a significant selection of food in its Pelham's restaurant. Not far way, still the Land of Green Ginger, is an 18th century Grade II listed building that hosts the Olde Black Boy pub on the High Street. This pub is a combination of modern pool tables and live music as well as offering traditional ales and dominoes. Better still it serves Timothy Taylor's Landlord beer! On the northern edge of the Land of Green Ginger, located in a former Postoffice building is just a Wetherspoons drinking hall called'Three John Scott's '. This building on Lowgate serves the usual large selection of beers and good quality'pub grub'that you'd expect out of this national chain of pubs.

To the north of the city the Gardeners Arms on the Cottingham Road is worth note. It is also housed in an old building and serves guests ales in addition to meals all through the week, the pub is regularly featured in CAMRA revues.

Restaurants:-
Among the newer restaurants in Hull could be the Boars Nest, on Princes Avenue to the north of the town centre. Jointly owned by top chef Simon Rogers and Dave Stead, from Hull's Beautiful South band, it's housed in an Edwardian butchers building and shares its name with the restaurant from the TV show - The Dukes of Hazard. A three course dinner, without wine, will surely cost about £30 per person. Mr Chu's Restaurant is John Prescott's, the Hull MP and former Deputy Prime Minister, favourite one in the city. Great Chinese food, excellent service and superb views on the Humber Bridge make the trip out to St Andrew's quay well worth it.

Sticking with the river theme the Two Rivers Restaurant is at The Deep - an aquarium and tourist attraction - that will be at the confluence of the rivers Hull and Humber, off Citadel way. It serves a wide selection of European food including meat, fish and vegetarian meals.

Being a port close to the North Sea, it wouldn't be right if there weren't some restaurants devoted to seafood dishes. The household owned Old Custom House restaurant at the Market Place offers just such fare. Its house specialty is lobster and it has a wine listing of over 50 wines. With a buffet meal designed for under £10 per person The Taman Ria Tropicana offers authentic'Masakan Melayu ', which means a strictly Malayn cuisine, rather than the more generic Malaysian one. The Tropicana is on Princes Avenue to the west of the city centre.

The restaurant supplies a reasonable collection of wines at excellent prices, but don't be prepared to sample any vintages here. Needless to say, just outside Hull at Welton, could be the Green Dragon pub and restaurant. This is a extremely popular venue for those who enjoy and appreciate an evening out in a restaurant. The menu is principally traditional British cooking, but it's exquisitely prepared and presented in a hot and cosy restaurant.
