Saltshouse Tavern

Head down to Dunvegan Road and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like it belongs to the community rather than existing for Instagram clout. The Saltshouse does the basics brilliantly—good beer selection, the sort of food that doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't, and staff who treat regulars like mates. It's got that lived-in feel of a proper local where you can sink a pint without any faffing about, and the 4.2-star rating from nearly 500 reviews suggests they've got the formula figured out. Whether you're stopping by for a quick one after work or settling in for an evening, this is the kind of place Hull's got plenty of but fewer do quite as well.
