It was of course the Ye Olde White Hart, just off the land of green ginger. Think the White Hart just around the corner made a slight recovery, not sure what state it’s in now.Burnaby49 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 4:50 pmSounds like my kind of place, granted I'm now an old man.

I once dated a girl (in the Old White Harte of all places) who believed in some quackery, believed that big pharma was killing us, which surprised me because she was from an affluent part of town, Kirk Ella. It went down hill rapidly when see called my favourite pub in the world “an old mans place with the atmosphere of funeral”. That maybe true but it really hurt my feelings, say what you like about big pharma but never insult the dank.
There are some great pubs in central Hull. It's a CAMRA favorite for heritage pubs. Try Ye Olde White Hart and the Black Boy next time. While not heritage I also like the Whalebone.I’ve always thought of Hull as Liverpool’s evil twin sat as they are at opposite ends of the M62 and with similar ‘demographics’ in their respective citizenry, shall we say. Then I went there and discovered some gems of pubs including the Empress, the Lion and Key and William Hawkes.
My parents drink in the Whale Bone from time to time, as for me I’ve never been in, it’s definitely unique in its location.
