Ye Olde Black Boy

Walk through those heavy wooden doors and you're stepping into proper Hull pub tradition. Ye Olde Black Boy isn't trying to be anything it's not—this is a place where the regulars know the bar staff's names and the beer selection actually means something. You'll find yourself in rooms with exposed beams and worn floorboards, the sort of bones that come from centuries of serving drinks to the city. The real ale list is taken seriously here, and the crowd's mix of locals, after-work crowd and weekend visitors all seem to get on just fine, which says something about the place.
