drinking in Hull's roughest estate! 

looking for a pub on Leeds roughest street - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0xuEPz9HK_4.htmlsi=3N6voBPtJGSU_7xz

I worked all over Yorkshire with YW, Hull had a bad reputation but I discovered it was very friendly, I never got any grief from anyone not even on the estates. I thought it was very underrated.

I love a proper boozer. Loads of great pubs here in Ireland. Although, that first pub I would have avoided like the plague judging by the outside of it. Funny though how it was instantly warm and welcoming the second you braved the threshold and walked in. Friendly greeting at the door, bit of a buzz going on inside, friendly bar lady. Little safe haven from the hell that. Cheers for this content. Subscribed. ✌

I grew up on one of those estates. It always felt rough and there were some sketchy people but mostly people had warm hearts and wished others well. Lack of good education and public services have made it an underserved city. I still feel at home there though

I am in my 20s, but I love these "local" bars/working mens clubs etc. And deprived places. They have character and real people. Come to Sheffield.

The phone boxes are/were that off-white colour because Hull had a different phone company. In the rest of the UK the Post Office ran the phone system originally so the phone boxes were red, like the post boxes. In Hull the town Corporation ran the phone system, and I think they also ran the electricity system. Just found your channel and enjoying it a lot, thank you!

I am from this estate and that sad row of shops used to be a thriving shopping centre , we had a butchers, bakers, hairdressers, greengrocer, post office, clothes shop, toy shop, chemist, supermarket and lots of other independent shops, all gone now.

This is such interesting content. I really enjoy how you make the mundane interesting and bring these ordinary places to life like you do. Keep up the good work.

Hi my friend cheers! Jason from the US of A here keep in mind my friend those of us viewing from other countries, may still find the areas with housing that you consider to be very boring, actually quite interesting. So, basically what I'm saying is keep up the good work mate, your videos are quite fascinating.

Cool vibes from those pubs, very friendly, not like those pubs you walk in and everyone turns around and stares at you!

Love your channel. These pubs are usually the best places to have a drink and chat with regulars. Forget Wetherspoons etc.

It’s official, I really will watch anything. Great channel. I’ll be watching more.

The Drake ,paying for the ambience😆, still some nice folk around, best pubs allow dogs 🐕 🙏🇬🇧

Getting right into this channel. Nice one. 👍🏻

It's never dull in Hull! 😃

I grew up in Blackpool, and in 2005 was living in the worst estate there (Grange Park) till I met my future wife on the internet. She lived about 200yds from the Drake on Bude Rd. Punchline is, when I moved to Hull my car insurance went UP £30 and believe me, where I lived in Blackpool was dire! But it's not bad at all here now.

Good content pal. We've had family get togethers in both of those pubs, numerous times, always seem to have good atmosphere and welcoming.

My son lives up there, it’s bloody lovely,, didn’t hear many sirens ,and heard no trouble either,, it’s run down in places like every town ,village and city in the uk! You couldn’t compare it to Manchester, I’d move up there tomorrow

A close pub and betting shop combo is always a winner😉👍

I think Hull estates bad reputation is from yesteryear. There were a dozen or more high rise blocks just in the orchard park area you walked in all demolished now , the garths part on BHE is mostly gone along with the notorious Alcatraz many years before.. A big transformation across them areas now.. Good video btw 👍

Been in Aus for about 10 years now One thing I miss about home is the pub style going in few pints watch the footy ect

This is Bransholme... it's one of the biggest estates in Europe. But in hull, it certainly isn't the roughest estate. Beverely Road/ orchard park (north hull), New Michael Street, (off town centre), and then boothferry, gypsyville, and hawthorn Ave (stabbing zone) would top brandsholme in my opinon.

Proper classic British pub! Not many those around these days!

Great channel. I'm from hull and yes some of it is way behind. southerners will be shocked!

Please try and pay with cash fella, the monthly bank charges for contactless payments are killing small independent businesses.

Cool video, I'm from Hull and never ventured round there. Pubs looked decent though, with friendly people. Hope you try Warrington one day 👍🍻

I played a gig in drake in 2006 with me mates as it was my mums local and she threw me a leaving party before I went in the Navy 😂 Classy pub 🍻

I perform as a singer all over Hull and Yorkshire and have sang at The Drake a couple of time in the past 6 months. I've had a brilliant night on both occasions. Very friendly, always up for a laugh and they were singing and dancing from the first song :) Lovely stuff!! x

Another great video. It’s a change for someone to actually appreciate our culture rather than decrying it.

That first pub looked quite decent on the inside

Looks like a quiet, tidy estate with friendly locals to me. Was expecting to be shocked but wasn’t shocked at all.

I’m from hull , love your videos, please do a video on hull city centre, you’ve got the marina , old town , queens gardens it’s beautiful x

Love this, grim but interesting. Subbed!

Loving this. Makes me want to tour towns doing the same!

I used to be a financial adviser for CIS... used to collect insurance payments and walk around the estate with about 2-3,000 in my inside suit jacket pocket

Just found your channel this morning, it’s fun to watch. The funny thing is these ‘worst pubs’ appear ok to me 😂 try the Black Swan in Birchwood Lincoln. It had a bad rep, don’t know about these days.

Try Grimsby. As far as estate pubs go I recommend the Nunthorpe Tavern and The Valiant. Town centre has Walters which was the Pestle and Mortar or P&M locally. Freeman Street is worth a visit and just over the bridge to Tescos Mockingbird serves the best burger and best all round street food anywhere in UK.

Hull had its own telephone system that was independent from British Telecom. That's why the telephone boxes were white not red.

The nightjar. My parents used to run it when I was younger. Proper pub. Practically grew up there

Subscribed. Nobody does this, but visit these sorts of areas at night! I am certain your viewer/subscriber numbers would go through the roof! Dodgy places in the day are good n all, but night time is when things get REALLY dodgy. Fab vid!

I used to go boozing in hull now and again back in the 90s ask any locals where was best place to go they would say " Tower for an hour" cos you were garunteed to pull within an hour 😆

My band played a gig at The Drake a couple years back. Was a good one, and food was put on 🎸

People in The Drake seemed so friendly bless em ❤

You can't get any more British than that. Having a hangover and off to a supermarket to buy a can of beer to sober up. 😂 I really enjoy your channel. Cheers from Oakville, Canada 🇨🇦

so crazy seeing this area again, this is where i grew up. you don’t realise how awful it looks until you move away for a decade

I didn’t buy into the rumours about Samaras staying in Hull but there he is at the bar

I live not 2 far from here and it's totally different Hull is unique

The phone boxes are white as hull has its own telecom provider

Seems like a friendly place to be fair

Just subbed mate quality channel I love stuff like this 💯

Enjoying a few cans of draught Guinness here right now myself. Some people think the cans of Guinness aren't nice , I think they are lovely

Just watched a documentary on the notorious estate Crescents in Hulme south Manchester.. That place really did look like a ghetto reminded me of the Cabrini-Green Homes projects in Chicago.. Didnt think uk had estates like that..

Avoid pubs with flat roofs.

My mum is from Bransholme and yes it’s rough but crime there isn’t crazy. A lot of young kids on bikes but not gangs like London for example

I love how at 9.10 .. you capture the range rover of hulls most bait drug dealer out side the abandoned William hill 😊

The church isn’t abandoned there is worship in there every Sunday

It's pretty funny you wondering where everyone is. Apart from the roads, a lot of the council estates are quite sleepy places during the day. Livens up towards the evening depending on the day but everyone's inside playing games, getting high or at work. My mate lives near the Drake, I used to goto that school you went by it's called Beude park primary. You are in just one of the rougher areas one street away from where I grew up. It's not that bad really now but back then it was as dodgy as they come. Edit: Oh so you went to the Nightjar then lmao! My house was nextdoor to it. Back in 1995 there was this fella who every other evening stood in the beergarden in the carpark behind it and shouted "SCRAMBLE!!!" and threw his spare change everywhere. Sometimes pound coins but mostly copper, tens and twenty's. We all used to gather there waiting when we got used to it and try and collect it all lmao I can't believe I'm seeing all this it's real weird, nostalgic. It was weird down there though, used to be an underpass just behind the houses on the main road, I got hit by a bus on the corner there when I was a kid. Lot of druggies down there under the arch. Pedo's around that area a lot aswell (not an ignorant insult I'm just throwing out there either I know for a fact). Lot of fights breaking out all the time and houses being set on fire. I remember going to watch them burn down and walking by on the way to school. Edit2: Oh shit I didn't expect you to go around the back of the betting shop. I just got sudden flashbacks my heart is racing. That path down there a lot of bad shit went down for me. I'm glad I got out

Nice to see Hull mentioned but it’s a lot more rough in East Hull. Preston Road. Orchard Park are the places to see for a man of your appetites.

You started off on Orchard Park but ended up at Drake on Bransholme you should have tried pint and pot on Orchard park xx good video though x

Lived in Hull for a few years. Place has just got an atmosphere that crushes your optimism

Bet you did a bit of walking mate you was on Orchard Park & Bransholme

to be fair they seem quite friendly in the pub.

New sub, like your content, being a londoner its interesting to see the northern side

These are great uploads subcribed

I'm a soft southerner but my mum is from this grim area. Still, Hull is massively underrated and has some of the most loyal, kindest people in Britain, and definitely has the best pubs in the country. Edit: £2.20 for a pint on the Hessle Road! Bloomin' eck

Was in a locals pub in Dublin before Xmas and it's the best night out nowadays. Meat raffle the lot. There is a warmth and a chat you used to get before mobile phones. Bit like going to gigs...

Looks lovely, the Humber Bridge is cool

i live on estate like this its a good and most ppl friendly full of decent ppl

Started on orchard park, ended up on bransholme for a pint 😂

Rugby League country. My kind of place. 🏉🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Near where i live there used to be an estate type pub called the newbridge which has sadly shut down. Theres an estate type pub up the road called the willows.

Just subscribed. Love a pub crawl 🤣🤣 from Scotland

New to the channel honest content and like how you find the good pubs with the locals 😊 got a new sub

Ive worked in hull many time collecting debt. Everyone says its really rough , it isnt compared to manchester ,salford bolton & liverpool. I find the people very friendly and never find aggression there. Trust me greater manchester is a different world

trust a man in a baseball cap holding a Carlsburg to know where the best pub is

Great video 👏 i dont understand why people dump things tho

Just found your channel 🙂 enjoying watching back over your videos. Gorgeous tatts too!

As someone who's actually from and still lives in Hull, yeah.... it's pretty much like this. It's just an odd place, neither great nor terrible place, just..... a place..... Edit: To be honest, I feel like Hull's lost its identity since all the main business that Hull brought sort of died out and so its just..... here. Also the blue tower, is actually a block of flats, I live nearby another one, a peachy coloured one, pretty much up the road from the blue one.

Decent little video 👍

Why is England always so fucking grey? Where is the sky? It's like living in a Tupperware box! So depressing.

I have 2 pubs in deeside (flintshire north wales) Thet all have hisoty of fight, police, and drugs too. They are Wheatherspoons and The Clwyd. Fight happened, they always seem to be pretty rough

I live in hull in Definitely all happens at night, everyone friendly till someone says the wrong word that's when the shit hits the fan.

One motto in life...never drink in a pub with a flat roof

Every area has the local dive and loads of youths pissing about nowadays. Glad I’m out the way where I live and it’s only a mile up the road is like a different world. Comes alive at night.

Wow ! That Guinness looked delicious 👍

£2.20 for a pint of the black stuff? 😲

In ull we only play out in summer

Is this orchard park? I lived in hull for a short while. It was an experience, but people were nice

I grew up on Bransholme 28 years, it was a shithole growing up and now when i visit family either i see it for what it is in even finer detail or its worse. Plenty of stabbings and gang related shit now, thankfully wveryones so poor we dont really have organised drug gang violence like Leeds/Manchester/Liverpool/London. I still love my hometown but it got thoroughly bombed to shit during ww2 and when the fishing industry died out in the 60s/70s a lot of people where left without jobs and any prospects. There's regeneration in the more upmarket parts like fruit market (which is great tbh) and other parts are thriving but we've got a long way to go and a ton of social problems that the shitty local councils never seem bothered about or are too underfunded to make any real positive change.

Orchard Park and Bransholme are 2 different housing estates

That Guinness looked good 👍

On Sunday I paid £6.55 for a Guinness - Coach & Horses off Bond St in London.

Its not a bad area . My health center is ace at the orchard center is brilliant. Extremely nice down to earth people . Even the younger lads .

He's not in the worst part. Actually like he found, if your polite most people are very friendly and unless your actively looking for trouble you will be fine.

Bransholme at one point was the biggest council estate in Europe. After they knocked down St Andrews, Manchester st, gillet and so on, down Hessle road many was relocated to the new “north Hull” Back in the late 80s, 90s the police wouldn’t go into the area after 9pm. Therefore became rife with wronguns, still a great community tho if that makes sense. This is where it got its bad rep. I love the place. Probably more authentic Hullensians there than anywhere else tbh.

Love the Hungarian cashier still serving in Hungarian in the middle of Hull haha

“Grab a pint to sober me up.”, Yes my g! 😭🤘

Hull from 2005 to 2015 was a great place to live... It had a reputation of being a bad place to live, but we liked it. You knew everyone, there was crime but generally the streets were cleaner, the city centre was good and overall, it felt like home. Since 2015, Hull has become another tragedy story just like most other small cities around England. Mass immigration, badly run councils and a new generation of kids not loving the ground they walk on has absolutely devastated the city. Immigration has been so prevalent and quick and in such great numbers, the city hasn't had the time or space to cope... Whole areas changing demographic within two years. Shops, bars and investment ceases overnight and it hits the community. The Council has obliterated the city centre through years of favouring high rates, no free parking, abandoning parts of the city centre all together. Rather than making the city centre attractive to big names and fixing the problem of a city that more than 50% of the population drive. Now the city centre is dead, there's no brands or reason to even come eat or drink there. they boast that there's a cultural quarter with a full street of bars and eateries. ONE street... Leeds has a dozen if not more. It's not even laughable at this point, it's tragic. The streets are in such bad condition, it's unbearable and obvious that 1. Certain demographics have no love for preserving any quality of beauty in the city and are happy to destroy everything and 2. the council pick and choose areas to keep clean and tidy and liveable, to steer votes - they are heavily influenced to please businesses and not the general public, hence why all the investment in the last decade is to create offices and homes for higher earners. whilst people on the estates have had to fend for themselves. I haven't seen anyone clean the streets in years - Elections are coming up, yesterday, 6 men litter picking and planting flowers... it's so obvious.

Looks like you picked a nice day with no shootings or stabbings. On a night down Orchard Park is sort of reminds you of bonfire night except with smack instead of sparklers. High rise were pulled down because they were a Grendel waiting to happen. Hull is Hell and Hell is Hull

Decent looking pint in fairness, that's half the battle.. Guess the other half is getting outa there alive😅
