Very quiet, barman apologetic, only one ale one, nice looking pub but a bit bleak with only two customers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's Seafarers Ale | 3.60 | | Nice enough but unremarkable. |

I have had some business in Hull Docks and find myself with two hours to break down before my train home. My first instinct in Hull is always to come here. Quiet in the late afternoon, although a darts match is in progress in the back room.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| York (now brewed by and at Black Sheep) - Guzzler | 3.60 | | Pale in colour, smooth and mildly hoppy. |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Robinsons - Dizzy Blonde Amarillo Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
