Old Boots left this review about The Queen Of Hope Street

Located in the ground floor of a very modern building opposite the Philharmonic pub one way and Philharmonic Hall the other way. Furnished with Victorian pub and domestic furniture including banquettes and Britannias. The lighting is by 1930’s deco lights, and the walls are decorated with pictures of women from several eras and also some brewery ads. There’s a splendid carved counter along the back wall with eight pulls and two low T-bars with a Brooklyn solo. The cask range included Nepture, Vocation, Weetwood, Taylors and Theakstons, similar to other1936 pubs in the area and default half glass is the bloody handled jug. It’s long and thinnish with lots of clear windows and an outside seating area.

Looking from the outside as garish as a seaside amusement arcade, this turned out to be a really nice pub with an eclectic music track and a fine collection of women's portraits; as far as I can make out they are not Queens but just fairly ordinary people. Intermingled are painted mirrors, screens of various designs that break up the large open space, and even more weirdly, heads of mostly female deers and a 12-point red deer stag. Oh, and lots of pewter tankards suspended from hooks in the ceiling and way beyond the reach of anyone wishing to drink out of them. Getting back to routine, there are eight hand pumps, with a cider and seven beers, two of them stout. I went for one of them, Black Lodge Swallow the Key 4% (NBSS 3.5, £4.30/pint). The bar counter is of stained wood with caryatids spaced at intervals. Truly weird. Give it a try!

At The Queen Of Hope Street, there's 8 pumps lined up along the bar: the first dispensing Seacider, the rest mostly local ales, with Theakston as an interloper. Dortmunder Union and Erdinger offer something different in the keg range. £4.20 for a pint of ale seemed absurdly cheap to me, even if the beer was a little hazy (though not in the modern style). There's also a limited food offering.

The pub features stone flooring with mostly perimeter seating leaving plenty of room to pack them in, so I can see The QOHS getting fairly loud later in the evening.

In summary, it's alright, but there's obviously better elsewhere in the city centre.
