Pub review: Vintage, Hull
The latest to open is Vintage, in a former jeweller’s shop on Silver Street.
The first step into bar ownership by Mancunian-turned-Hullensian (he’s been in the city seven years so he’s practically native) Mike Beswick, Vintage is a simple one-room affair decorated to feel like cosy, established bar. The car seat-looking bar stools are a nice touch, as is the grill designed to resemble a Marshall amp that fronts the bar.

Hide AdThe striking red colour scheme out front may look like a hairdressers at first but, rest assured, no-one’s going to give you a trim once you’re inside.
Food is currently limited to bar snacks but there are plans to offer small plates and also to expand the real ales on offer, of which there are currently three, including one local ale.
Cocktails are also a big thing in Vintage and there are several bespoke offerings designed by the bar staff. There is also an extensive range of continental beers available and a choice of proper coffees.
With regular music nights providing popular, Vintage seem to be in exactly the right position to attract the cultural types currently littering the whole of Hull city centre.
