We went in the other week (Salford game), looks a little better, couldn't get served within 20 minutes though so went elsewhere.

It was a great place to see bands also.

the same issues as those that have gone before, you have to run the gauntlet of the chav triangle (if the bars are still there), that end of Town was always dire when I went out in Hull.

I think that will be the biggest problem it will have, there's a Tokyo in Huddersfield which is popular but it's got bars all around it. With the one in Hull it's a fair walk from the Old Town and there aren't really that many other bars in town.

Been in the Tokyo bar in Lincoln and York to see bands. I hope the Hull version is as good, they certainly seem to attract some top acts.

Been to the Tokyo in Bradford which is OK (for Bradford!). Need some pre-bars though otherwise it'll die on its arris. New town and Anlaby Road aren't exactly booming with them, so they really need to sort that out before opening.

True.....tower had newyork and jacks upstairs...christ what a place that was.

if you think about what Hull has lost in terms of its nightlife it's significant, the majority of Bond Street, most of Anlaby Road, LA's and the Marina area etc.

Me and the wife went into the city centre on a Friday night for the Heritage Weekend. We walked back towards the station at 12.o.clock and it was shut! Not even a taxi. The city centre was absolutely dead, on a Friday night that takes some believing.

Always did town on a sat and used to wait for the Ladas underneath the office block at station...used to be rammed.Used to go in red lion in anlaby on a fri night when younger...that place was allways full and some very posh totty as well.

Circus circus...Gingerman,whitestar?Provident and all the other old uns been done up and lost its apeall

That's the thing though, Princess Ave would probably have been busy, there's a finite number of people with the cash and desire to go out on a weekend, when I first started going out it was all around the Old Town and Marina, Romeo's was still around, Trogg Bar had closed along with Bali Hai in the preceeding years, then we progressed towards Bond Street/LA's, then it was back to Old Town when Waterfront got it's act together, along came Circus Circus/Heaven & Hell etc. What is there now, Pozition, which is like being in a crap disco on a cross channel ferry (complete with the smell of vomit), Welly, Sugar Mill, not much else?



The only place that has never changed is The Adelphi.
