K. M.

Probably one of the best bars in Hull but nothing special . Can't see me coming back to Hull again . It isn't in the same class has Liverpool,Manchester and Leeds . Nice and friendly people but it's a run down city and don't no why it got voted has a culture city . There's not much to see tbh

C. R.

Nice pub with decent beers, good beer garden for the summer, can be very busy in the evenings at the weekend but great for an afternoon pint or glass of wine. Its been here a long time and Hull wouldn't be the same without The Empress love it.

R. B.

Typical English cuisine. Large selection of beers. It's worth going and seeing a typical English pub.

Decent pub....good to go to before events and after....enjoy it.

J. D.

Love this bar , plenty of space but still cosy but gets lively at times especially weekend . Fab jukebox always on ( some free plays if in at the right time !) Decent pint of cask John Smiths , and usual array of lagers ciders . Friendly crew inc Nicky and Josh .

K.

Very busy pub,usually full of daytime drinkers (eg older folk/men who spend on all day nursing the one pint!) Toilets are like a broom cupboard you couldn't swing a cat! On the positive side theres a brilliant atmosphere on a Saturday night,its always rammed and blasting out all the golden oldie hits of the 60s/70s etc

E. B.

Great atmosphere in this pub but far too many people you could not move which I think is dangerous incase of a fire or if a fight broke out like it often dose in pubs that are too full

M. M.

Excellent pub staff couldn't be more friendly

S. W.

Great old boozer in the city centre. Great beers and really pleasant staff

P. R.

Great atmosphere good selection of drinks.

D. P.

Great traditional pub. Like to pop in whenever I get the chance. Beer well kept, haven't eaten there for a while, but when I did it was always tasty and a reasonable price.

s. p.

Nice pub

N. G.

Great place to go on a wk end, great music throughout the night. Fabulous atmosphere made my bank holiday wk end special. Met work associate's plus time with partner. Great.

D. C.

The Empress is the pub all the lads from work meet when having an afternoon or night out. It's part of the Hull ale trail and a good place to start. Beer is at a competitive price and honest in what and where it is, we like it. Hull ale trail is well worth the experience. Enjoy.

A. C.

Went in on 17th June for birthday drinks around 3pm and the service was amazing! Nicola looked after me very well. Very lovely person! Will visit again 😊

p. s.

Good pint live music on weekends good all round pub

S. C.

Very lively pub, especially on a Saturday. Used to go in when I was in my 20's still do now and then 50 years later. Lol

M. R.

A pub that charges top dollar for booze and the quality of the food has lowered in standard to be honest I don't bother going in any more far better options in Hull

K. H.

Great fun pub, with either a singer,dj or karaoke. Saturday's are packed literally all day until very late.

A. B.

Nice pub, good atmosphere. Some bar staff need extra training though. Ignorant or inept?

P. W.

Great little pub with great music although the price of a beer can a little bit pricey, oh what the hell, it's a good watering hole
