The Lexington Rooftop Bar & Terrace

You climb up to The Lexington and suddenly the city spreads out beneath you—the sort of perspective that makes you remember Hull's got actual architecture worth looking at. It's become the place where you take someone if you want to impress them without trying too hard, all exposed brick and the kind of lighting that makes everyone look better than they do in the office. The cocktails are solid rather than showy, the staff know what they're doing, and on a decent evening the terrace fills up with people who've realized the rooftop scene here is legitimately good. It sits right there on Ferensway, so you're never far from the city proper, but far enough up to feel properly removed from the chaos.
