This pub is now closed and boarded up (April 2011) and a for sale notice outside

A long narrow room, the sort of thing that Van Gogh would have painted, complete with angst-ridden locals.
|
Made famous in Robert Edrich's noirish Hull trilogy of crime novels. Always looks rough and seedy but is actually quite friendly. They used to have a coiled rope in a glass case, said to have been used in the last hanging in Hull Prison: it clearly wasn't thick enough for that grim purpose, but it added quirky local touch!) Oddly it was rigged as if for a disco last night, although it's so narrow there isn't any romm for a dance floor!

"Local cask ales" it says outside. No chance, nearest i got was a �2.60 pint of guinness, 4/10
|
A lager and electric tap affair. Friendly staff and customers, but the bitter is far too cold.
