Old English Gentleman in Kingston upon Hull, City of

The wife and i stopped for a quick pint during our afternoon walk. Enjoyed the atmosphere among the locals and of course the fascinating photos of actors from the past and we are of an age were we could recognize many of them from our childhood. We will be visiting again

Traditional old-style pub with a couple of well-kept real ales. Perfectly placed for a theatre drink and one of my city centre favourites for a quiet relaxed drink.

Nice at times just like most pubs if you stopping for one pint then onto the next enjoy...has changed hand recently..

Great bar that is opposite the old Fire Station that now fronts Hull New Theatre. Lots of stars of yesteryear have stepped foot in this bar. Good selection of beers at reasonable prices.

Great pub, good atmosphere and selection of beers.

This place is lovely, one of our favourite locals, friendly, great atmosphere, dog friendly, lovely in summer, cozy in winter 😁

Love this pub. Great staff and locals.

Very nice place with friendly stuff. Good beer. Clean toilet.

Guinness was like water a quarter into the pint.

Its a lovely old pub with a friendly atmosphere. Went in prior to New Theatre

It's just this place , says it all when you walk in . Full of atmosphere of yester years gone by. beer good , food excellent. Service top draw 👌

Nice pub off the beaten track. Directly behind the theater and festooned with memorabilia of current and bygone actors and actresses. A good feeling to the pub.

Stumbled on this place by accident, but really enjoyed the atmosphere and reasonably priced beer

Great pub well worth a visit. Just get in before theatre finishes or it can get busy !!

Lovely pub fantastic choice of drinks. Shame there is no food. Barstaff friendly and welcoming

Nice atmosphere - nice pint of courage directors. Very comfortable surroundings.

Cozy pub with good music. Live music with cheap, delicious beer on Sundays

Recommended. Great old fashioned pub

Went here for a 50th birthday party on a Sunday afternoon, great pub , been done out perfectly, inside & out, nice little hideaway pub love it

Wonderful pint of Guinness,nice warm welcoming pub

Didn't eat, we just had a few drinks after the pantomime. The 1st drink was flat, so this is why we gave 4 stars.

Excellent pub, always pop in when nearby , highly recommended

I used to drink in this pub when I started work in 1978. The layout has changed, but the range of beers has extended from Hull Brewery. The ambience has remained unchanged, and it's well worth a visit just to browse the photos. A great pub.

Many thanks to the staff of the Old English Gentleman for the buffet for our Dad's Memorial Service. The staff were incredibly friendly, kind and helpful, the food was lovely and we didn't feel rushed. Can't praise them highly enough!

Always love this pub. Great old world charm and the photo collection of stars down the ages is good for showing your age.

Brilliant old style pub Friendly staff Good range of ales lacking in choice of cider my preference Was very busy just before show times and again just after as close to the theatre Cozy welcoming

Great atmosphere and ale choices

A pub crammed with theatrical memories - check out the poster for the 1971 Hull Theatre production of Arnold Ridley' Ghost Train, starring Ian Lavender and produced by Dad's Army director.

Nice old style pub. Good range of drinks including gins

A lovely bar to visit with lovely décor. Excellent service and a great selection of wines and beers.

Doesn’t do food at all! The beer is the usual for what you’d expect from an old man’s pub.

Great pub with a history of serving the stars of the theatre, even greats like "Laurel & Hardy" and loads more

A proper pub! Friendly atmosphere and great beer.

The old English gentleman is an unspoilt proper gem of a pub. It's pretty much the same as it was when I first walked through the doors over 45 years ago. It's a lovely friendly pub. Slightly away from the town centre so it avoids all the idiots. A good selection of cask conditioned real ale. The walls are adorned with photographs of the stars who have appeared at the New Theatre next door, and often called in for a drink. If you're nearby call in for a drink, highly recommended.

Classic Hull pub. I didn't eat there so I've not rated the food. This is great for a quote drink and to spend a while looking at the many many photos of stars from the past who have visited while performing at Hull New Theatre just over the road. It gets busy if you go just before a show at the theatre. Anyone visiting Hull needs to pop in here for a pint.

Was enjoyable and lady that looked after us was very friendly and helpful.

A good pub with friendly staff and good selection of ales.

Traditional pub located behind the New Theatre. Parking is available on the street nearby. They sell a range of local and big brand beers on draught. It's comfortable and friendly with lots of photos on the walls of visiting actors from the theatre which all add to its character. Staff are welcoming and service is good. It does get busy before and after shows at the theatre.

Very friendly and cosy pub...lots of great photos on the walls

Great pub with lots of theatrical memories

What a nice pub and vibe. A must go when you are in Hull

Nice pub to drop in after visiting a nearby restaurant

Friendly pub with good beer. Old fashioned with the chance of meeting cast from a theatre show! What's not to like x

Nice pub a little on the small side but if you like that type of place it is perfect. Used by many before and after the theatre shows

Great pub always very welcoming and good selection

Recently tastefully renovated. Well located for theatre land. Very clean toilets

Quaint little pub Great atmosphere

Very nice little pub plus its a B&B I've never stayed there as I live in Hull but it is a very nice friendly pub

Lovely welcoming staff. Traditional atmospheric pub behind Hull New Theatre.

Very nice place great beer lovely warm welcome

This is a great pub! Good beer and a nice selection of whisky (and whiskey from our cousin's over the pond) served by a friendly bar. When I'm in the area again I'll be back.

Never been here before lovely place before a show

Lovely place worth a visit 😀 Cheers

Excellent service nice atmosphere

AMAZING STAFF! Everyone here is warm and friendly but Nathan is an absolute gem! A lovely cosy pub with a good selection of drinks, a piano if anyone wants to play it and board games! There's also the added bonus of possibly bumping into whoever is on stage at Hull New Theatre if you're in there after the show!

Excellent pub - well worth a walk to. Quite heavily adorned with stars of the past.

Brilliant. Had a drink before and after going to hull theatre and so comfortable and welcoming here.

Fab pub well worth a visit good staff & beer x

Pricey for normal beer. A a choice of two real ales which were less dear.

My first visit for quite a few years and really enjoyed it. It's not really changed over the years which is a good thing as people go to sample the history of the place with its connection with Hull New Theatre and look at the pictures of all the stars who have frequented the pub when having an aftershow drink.

Used to love popping in when we lived in Hull centre , Traditional pub great atmosphere and friendly faces , very rare these days. Will pop in again soon .

Nice pint,good old-fashioned boozer.

Best pub in Hull with great staff, great regulars and great beer

Nice pint and the barmaid was great to talk to. Me and my colleagues enjoyed our visit. A permanent addition to our daytime pub crawl.

Great little boozer tucked away. Some nice theatrical photos, and nice ale.

Clean, comfy and friendly. Marston's ales though, so I'd not drink there as a rule, called in before theatre.

A rare nostalgic pub with lots of character and atmosphere. Very cosy too.

Great service, great atmosphere

I remember this pub from 1980 and 1983, when I was doing my 2nd Mate (FG) and 1st Mate (FG) tickets at Hull Nautical College, which used to be on George Street. Great beers and a neat old-fashioned local pub.

The only pub that I knew of that my late father would visit many years ago. Thought it was very nice. Enjoyed my visit.

It will get better when the kitchen opens up again.

Historical pub Excellent staff Lovely pint

A real old fashioned friendly pub Could recommend it to anyone

A lovely spot for a beer, I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the constant shout of 'ALEXA! SKIP SONG! ALEXA ALEEEEXA!'🤣🤣

Wonderful friendly and cosy pub.well kept beers served by friendly staff.

Great old pub within hull's infamous theatre district

Beautiful old pub with a good variety of drinks. Nice atmosphere and very close to the theatre

Popped for a couple of drinks with friends. Lovely pub great service.

A lovely little pub, full or character and with a friendly atmosphere. The closeness to Hull New Theatre makes it the perfect pre and post show venue.

This is a fantastic pub with friendly faces ,great atmosphere, and a good night to be had by all

Best Pint of Guinness in Yorkshire... Very Creamy x

Excellent , traditional pub , lovely environment, lovely pint and very friendly .

Lovely little pub, very quaint and good selection of drinks! Fab staff!

Really love stopping into this pub after a night at the theatre. Great atmosphere and staff. A little gem in the heart of the city.

Just popped in prior to the theatre. Cracking pub, friendly staff and what's more terrific bitter. Will be back.

Pre-theatre drinks, always nice to look at the interesting photos. Staff excellent drinks varied and reasonably priced.

Fridndly staff great ale good atmosphere. Zn all round good pub.

Popped in on Sunday for a few drinks. It was excellent. Lovely little pub. Great atmosphere and staff. Will be going back.

Lovely friendly pub. Well worth a visit after New Theatre.

A great old fashioned pub, full of character, i highly recommend a visit.

Lovely cosy pub, friendly staff will definitely visit again

Nice real ale good choice of lagers old lovely old character pub bar staff efficient and friendly. Theatre lovies meeting place, lots of kisses💋.

Lovely pub, nice staff. Always worth a visit to try and work out the photos on the walls..

It doesn't have TVs so it's not rowdy, staff are friendly and it's just a nice place to be in general :)

A great place to meet new friends

Under new ownership so hopefully the new patrons will put some effort into sprucing the place up because it is in serious need of internal decoration. Tired and dowdy unfortunately but with so much potential. Also, a better variety of ales would go down well but hey it could be early days for the new tenants.

Under new management, very friendly, excellent real ale, bar snacks, menu coming soon when kitchen refurbished.

beautiful traditional pub, lovely start to our theater night, such a shame to see it so quiet but they are not doing food yet. hope they open up fully soon the food used to be outstanding

What a lovely authentic pub, friendly atmosphere and friendly service. The Landlord and Landlady couldn't be nicer, and the regular barman helps everyone. I will definitely visit again.
