Done the Black Boy, George with the little window and the Old White Hart. Nice to see Hull getting some good PR. It is a an ancient and proud place and does not deserve the derision that it usually gets.

[@stevehessle1959]

Came to Hull on a night out 43 years ago, met and married a local lass and never thought of leaving the area. Some phenomenal pubs existed over the years.

[@davelambert3340]

Thanks for coming to hull and giving us a proper review not like the crap you see in the papers or Channel 4, people please come to hull for a night out it’s brilliant you will not be disappointed 🍻

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

We're very much looking forward to coming back mate!

[@kevinfletcher5987]

Full off crap here mate hull is ruined. Its a shame because could be nice, but unfortunately not. Take a look around the streets we are going backwards full off pools down every street. It's really is fucked hull

[@alspurs1990]

@@NoComment-lb8qe I love hull. Great pubs and old town is so underrated

[@france2j]

Had to move away nearly ten years ago, absolutely nothing going in it's depressing. Think I'd just have been on the dole all my life if i'd stayed there.​@@kevinfletcher5987

[@neilatkinson7433]

Next time try scale & feather. Hand pulls galore (not a innuendo)

[@MarkKendall-zc5ln]

Thanks for giving hull a great review. Brilliant positive vibes for the city, thanks mate best wishes to you!

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Thanks mate. Can't wait to come back and do the rest of Hull!

[@revzombie]

Thank you for the positive review, Hull isnt the shit hole some people make it out to be.

[@AndrewJordan-iu1gz]

We are back in Hull on Saturday. Visit several times a year. Have to agree the old town pubs are amazing!

[@seanmeehan-js5kh]

I spent a decade in Hull. Great people and great pub crawl in Old Town. So cheers for that mates. You got stamina! 🍺🍻🥂🍾🍷🥃🍸😂😂😊

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Hahahaha... stamina goes with the territory now! Thanks mate. We are looking forward to getting back and doing the rest

[@seanmeehan-js5kh]

@@thegreatbritishpubcrawl practice is the key mate

[@michaelmatthews5540]

Hull gets a bad rap but it's a great place, you've missed out the Marina Area Humber Street and the great food in Minerva also Scale Lane which has five pubs in 200 yards. We are blessed in Hull with all our historic pubs and considering what we lost in WW2 so many remain.Get your self back quickly and we accept your apologies as Kingston Upon Hull is certainly no dump.

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Haha... just not enough hours in the day to have got anywhere else last night! Definitely looking forward to another visit very soon! I'll make a note of the street names to look out for

[@DeanSmith-i5d]

Love the old town, you was in an area called The Land of Green Ginger, when you visited the George Hotel

[@phillipmason3801]

My Dad used to say there is/was a tunnel from the Black Boy to the river Hull from the old days of smuggling. Glad you found the Old White Hart too 👍

[@gillwoodall8036]

Hull born and bred off good ole Hessle rd

[@revzombie]

Me too mate, not many of the o.g's left

[@samanthawilkinson9965]

I love that you thought Empress was busy, that was empty, and Bonny boat gets a lot busier, get yourself here in the summer 😊

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Haha, that's busy in a pub for just gone 430pm... (most places at that time haven't already got door staff on or a Karaoke/Disco getting going) - apparently its packed out all night usually? Great little place

[@andyff711]

Through the summer empress sat afternoon they're queuing to get in

[@rocky5755]

Hull old town is tremendous. People there still know how to enjoy themselves and enjoy a chat.

[@willredburn8077]

Absolutely loved this video , I’m from Hull but moved away to Australia 17years ago , we always knew Hull was a banging City for drinking , got a bit of a lump in my throat reminiscing bout all the old quality boozers , next time I’m back gunna cover that area again , makes me homesick though ❤ sat in a hospital with my youngest daughter so that has cheered me up

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Awww, I hope your daughter is OK mate. Thanks for reaching out. We can't wait to go back to Hull and get the rest done 🍺

[@teallythered6652]

Nice one will.hows phil. Its mark andy teall brother.up the reds.

[@juboy77]

Brilliant review and a great route too well done sir!

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Many thanks!

[@jamesheath7601]

I’m from Hull thanks for coming 🍻

[@johnregan2443]

Fantastic little journey, thanks for showing us!

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alexquinn9213]

Although Hull nightlife has better days its good to see its still a good night. Hopefully the pub culture will change and adapt into something new as its really the heart of British life

[@worldofrealale4677]

Great video 👍🏻 I would highly recommend Beverley. Lots of old school pubs and over 20 bars in total!

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Beverley definitely on the radar for doing soon

[@andyff711]

Agree about Beverley. Sun inn probs best place for live music

[@Kris_1708]

Never seen Hull look that quiet until you said it was the first week of January then it made sense! 😂

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Hahaha... yeah, I mean... for the first week of January... it was still pretty busy so I can only imagine how busy it must be the rest of the time 🍺

[@Radish_reloaded]

Love all your videos, I come from Hull and you did your research well..love the old town. Princes avenue to Newland ave is a great pub crawl if you come back to Hull

[@Autismfamilymacrid]

Thank you for not making our town look crappy like alot of other reviewers so, summer would be better to come back tho be alot better atmosphere 😊

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

We always go with an open mind and try to look for the positives rather than the negatives of places mate! We loved Hull (and indeed Beverley that we did last weekend) and will definitely be back to see the rest very soon

[@paulspencer4713]

Spent a lot of really great nights around the old town especially in summer on a Saturday afternoon onwards,, glad you enjoyed it , come back in summer then really experience hulls old town.

[@annbrown4056]

Glad you loved our city. Ye Olde White Hart used to have a skull behind the bar. They removed it and weird things happened . 👀😬

[@ldm7532]

Really good vlog mate

[@justinnewbert]

Thanks for the love!

[@nicknewton7384]

The Mission is a pub which sticks in my mind. I always use to enjoy having a pint 'in church'!

[@DeanSmith-i5d]

Love the old town, don't know if you realise you was in an area called Land Of Green Ginger, when you was in George hotel...

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

I think there seem to be a lot of great old stories about Hull that we need to learn more about haha

[@LacitsyM]

I used to have a flat in land of green ginger. Really nice place it was. 👍🏻

[@alspurs1990]

Hull is gr8

[@philgreen815]

Memories, Ye Old White Hart, my first visit Ladies where not allowed in the bar. On entering the pub they had to turn left and sit in the room.

[@andyff711]

Bring it back 😂😂😂

[@karlos55555]

Thinking about going here, thanks for your video ive just decided to visit for a weekend of boozing and sightseeing....mainly in that order! 😂

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

It's such a great area mate! You'll love it!

[@ricorico6826]

I take my hat off to you how you manage to do a review of a place and after 18 establishments later you still look quite fresh. If it were me after about 5 pints the camera would be going in all directions and I'd be coming out with all kinds of nonsensical jabberings

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Hahaha... it's taken a lot of practice mate 🍺

[@Kirkscrustykippers]

Used to be awsome not so much now but getting better the new pub in princess quay being made is looking impressive

[@otters61]

Quayside has been opened for years

[@davidberesford7009]

Nice getting to see old Hull. Never been there, and I am not likely to now as I am not really up to it any more. This vid was a bit frantic to watch, did you get any food?

[@peachy3143]

Born and bred 49 years … hull is a foreign city now .. well done the government.. place makes me sick

[@kevinfletcher5987]

For you all hull is a shit hole and getting worst ever day , definitely to far gone to fix now, look at the pools there putting everywhere we are going backwards in this town. Anybody that says its nice is just covering it up and talking crap, surprisingly you didn't get mugged

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

The Old Town is beautiful and has some amazing pubs. Everyone was really friendly and we can't wait to come back... maybe you should go again with an open mind...

[@Kris_1708]
