About The Kingston
The Kingston is a pub in Hull, standing right next door to Hull Minster at 9 N Church Side, so the Minster is in view from the pub. Behind the bar sits a selection of drinks, with pints among them. Dogs are welcome, which suits anyone stopping in with their pet. The pub's setting beside one of the city's best-known buildings gives visitors an easy landmark to find it by.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the outdoor seating beside Hull Minster, describing it as a sun trap and a lovely spot to sit with a drink and watch the world go by in good weather. Close behind is the staff, called friendly, welcoming and helpful, with one reviewer noting fast service and good pints. Others mention a good selection behind the bar, reasonable drink prices, a lively town feel and a character-filled atmosphere with amusing regulars. A single reviewer who booked ahead for a birthday celebration was far less happy, reporting that the meal took a long time to arrive and that staff told them to warm up by the candles when they were cold, though they called the food lovely. That one complaint stands apart from otherwise warm feedback. Several reviewers describe sitting outside on a sunny afternoon with the minster right next door.
