Nightlife in Hull
Hull's nights out are spread across a few distinct areas, from the old centre to the avenues in the west. A little knowledge of each helps you plan the way home.
The Old Town
The Old Town is the core of a night out in the centre, with pubs and bars on narrow streets close to the station. It is easy to walk, and it gets busy on Friday and Saturday evenings.

The Fruit Market
Humber Street and the surrounding Fruit Market district have a more creative, relaxed mood, with bars and cafes sitting near the water. It suits an earlier, slower evening more than a late one.

Princes Avenue and Newland Avenue
To the north west, these avenues offer a local, independent evening, with bars and pubs strung along them. They feel less like the centre of a city and more like a neighbourhood, and the quickest route is a taxi from the middle of town.

Weather and walking
Hull is flat, so walking between areas is easy, but the wind near the water can be cold even in mild months. Bring a coat, and do not plan a long walk home at the end of the night.

Pacing the evening
A night out here often begins early, with a meal near the water or in the Old Town, and moves later to the bars. Decide whether you want a full evening or just a drink and a conversation, and say so to whoever you are meeting, so that neither of you feels hurried or stranded. Keep the last train and bus times saved, and let someone know when you expect to be home.
