Manchester Arms

You'll find yourself on Scale Lane in the heart of Hull's Old Town, pushing through the doors of a pub that doesn't do Instagram aesthetics—it does honest drinking. The Manchester Arms is the sort of place where the bar staff know what you're having before you order, where the regulars have claimed their spots, and where you're genuinely welcome whether you're after a quick pint or settling in for the afternoon. The drinks are straightforward, the prices won't bankrupt you (expect to pay around £5-6 a pint), and the vibe is resolutely unpretentious. It's got that worn-in comfort of a pub that's been doing its job for years without needing to reinvent itself.
