Would rather drink on Princes Ave than many other areas of Hull. Never been in the Bore's Nest as I haven't heard anything positive about it, including my elderly parents who were not impressed at all. Don't think it will affect the area at all.

Yeah i couldnt help but add my bit

You mean youve never had the pleasure of eating pigeon in a blackcurrant and redwine reduction

You havent lived man

Some inverted snobbery over this.

Boars Nest is a decent restaurant and there are precious few of them in Hull.

Princes Avenue is getting rough on a weekend.

No inverted snobbery from me. If I'd had recommendations from family and friends I would try it, but none forthcoming. I have seen the police on Princes Avenue after major football matches, but (and I'm sure I will be corrected if wrong) there are only two pubs with TVs - Linnet & Lark and Zoological, the two "oldest" pubs. Linnet started off as quite a "nice" pub, but has rapidly gone downhill in my opinion and Zoo is not one of those I would visit.

Well if its that good you wont mind travelling to eat there then



And its no rougher down there now than it was 10 - 15 years ago , before the Bistro kids arrived

Don't think one restaurant closing will affect the street much.

But I think its sad that a street that promised to deliver something different to Hull's nightlife is being dragged back down. Why can't the people looking for a binge drink and a fight stick to the City Centre, Witham or Bev Road?

We keep trying to price the idiots out but they must be saving up! I think we should gate the area off and introduce an entrance fee based on post code

If Princes ave is getting too lively for you then go down Newland as thats nice and boring

Shame that the Boar's Nest is closing, the food really is top notch and far better than any other food available in West Hull.

I can understand the proprietors point of view though, Princes Ave is horrendous on the weekend these days tbf and certainly not a pleasant place with decent folk.

Don't understand the inverted snobbery in this thread either tbf

Actually, having not lived in Hull for quite a few years - myself and my wife decided to try out Prince Avenue the other night (was a Saturday) for the first time.

I have to say that I thought it was pretty nice, some nice bars with people outside who seemed to be having a good time - it certainly didn't strike me as a rough part of town.

Also, having never heard of the Boars Nest, we just wandered in, we were given a table - had excellent service and good food - and it wasn't unreasonably priced either.

Board nest is nice, but Laundry is similar fayre and far better value for money

I prefer the afternoon session down prinny ave.

Aye. Monday to Thursday and early evenings. Then this

for the weekends. HU5 3. Or pay up.

(Boars Nest was excellent, btw. Wonder if they'll let me have that wonderful stuffed boars head?)

Lol mate you are hardcore, I qualify anyway but was only thinking restriction of HU5 for free entry



I'll ask Dina about the boars head for you but I reckon they'll be taking it with them!

Look fab in my sitting room. Go on, then

Boars Nest was garbage, over priced and totally over-rated, it was "good" in comparison to other places in Hull, but that's a bit like saying The Swan is the best pub in Swanland (it's the ONLY pub in Swanland).

Standee slags off Hull, what a shock.

Not slagging Hull off at all, but the choice of quality places to eat is severely limited.

I don't agree that boars nest was always rubbish. IMO it started off well but went downhill, what the reasons are I don't know.

That is true, however I have to disagree with your comments about Boars Nest. You are entitled to your opinion of course but, come on, it's not "garbage". It was in the Good Food Guide.

Sad thing is, it'll be replaced by some faceless cafe bar serving the same sort of stuff as all the others down there.

but where are you comparing it to, that was the point I was making, for the same money you could go to Pipe andd Glass in Dalton and eat 10 times better, or the Wellington Arms in Lund for a lot less.

The HDM Good Food Guide isn't a measure of success imho.
