KC Stadium
Hull City AFC
Where To Drink
Tim Jones a visiting Aston Villa
supporter informs me; 'The Brickmakers pub virtually opposite the
stadium car park entrance is now open to away fans. Good
atmosphere, friendly Hull fans, Big screen Sky Sports and a burger
van outside'. Whilst Villa fan Neil Tate adds; 'There is the nearby
Walton Street Social Club that lets in away supporters.
Although it costs £3 to go in, it has good cheap
beer, is of a good size and offers a separate area for
sale of food such as burgers and chips etc.. There were plenty
of fellow Villa fans in there during our recent visit. Turn
right out of the main car park entrance and it is down the road on
the left hand side.'
There
are a number of other pubs
within a few minutes walk of the stadium, but these are all designated as
being for home supporters only. Most Hull fans still seem to be heading for
pubs situated around Boothferry Park. These are best avoided by away
fans particularly the Silver Cod pub. Otherwise you can head for the nearby
City Centre, where there are plenty of pubs to be found. David
Jenkin a visiting Exeter fan recommends; 'the Sandringham pub, near
to Hull main station, in the City
Centre. On my visit the pub was both friendly and welcoming'. Whilst
Sam Carroll suggests the 'Linnet & Lark' on
Princes Avenue. As Sam says; 'It has lots of TVs showing Setanta
and Sky Sports, making it perfect to watch the early or
late kick off games. It is a 15 minute walk away
from the stadium, going across the pedestrian footbridge over the railway line. Also
there are a number of other bars dotted along Princes Avenue, which should be okay
for away fans to drink in. These include
PAVE, which has a great selection of beers from all
around the world and quality food. Look out for their "matchday special"
pint, pie, peas and mash for just £6. T
here is ample parking in the streets off the avenue.
Closer to the stadium around a 15 minute walk up Walton Street, is
the Avenues pub on Chanterlands Avenue, that welcomes
both home and away supporters.'
Robert Walker adds; 'If you are walking to the
stadium from the City Centre there are several pubs on Spring Bank,
including the Editorial and the Tap and Spile. Or there is the Admiral of
the Humber (a Wetherspoons outlet) on Anlaby Road near Hull Paragon
Railway Station'. This Wetherspoons pub is listed in the
CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Andy Beill adds; 'I'd recommend The Punch
Hotel pub. It is situated in the
town centre next to the Princes Quay shopping centre, so not far
from the train station. It
does great homemade food'.
Otherwise alcohol, Carling & Tetleys are served within
the stadium at £3 per pint. However for some high profile matches, the
club do not provide alcohol to away supporters.
