The Station Inn, Hull

A random stop on the long walk back into the city centre as I just liked the look of it. I was rewarded! Inside there are two rooms behind each other. The main bar is at front with a late 60s refit still very much in evidence; cream and red chequered flooring, coal fire and plenty of wood plank and woodchip trim. Noted an unusable dart board. The rear room looked like a lounge, cosy and tidy. I had barged in on a locals bingo night and the smattering people in attendance seemed to be having a good time even if it was getting quite late on a Sunday evening and the barman was good fun. Four pumps at the bar with three on; an adventurous selection given the clientele, with Twisted Angel Gargoyle Spiced Lime, YBH Reet and YBH Faithful Stout (good nick). Grim toilets let the side down, I hope they're being done up. Overall, slightly mad but fun and it’s worth popping in if you find yourself up this way – a proper unpretentious local.
