The Crows Nest is a traditional wet-led community pub located on the Longhill Estate in the eastern area of the city of Hull. Surrounded by residential properties and backing on to a small parade of retail businesses, the pub is in a great location with a large amount of passing trade. Approximately 21,000 residents live within a one mile radius of the pub, which demonstrates the huge potential this site has to offer.

The main bar area has a mix of fixed and loose seating, TV screens & jukebox, with a dedicated games area to the rear featuring pool table & darts oche. The lounge bar is a large open-plan room, again with a mix of seating, TV screens and a raised seating area that could easily be utilised as a stage for live entertainment.

Everything about the Pub
The Crows Nest is a 100% wet-led business that is currently home to both pool and darts teams and is well supported by the local community. The pub has a strong regular entertainment programme including bingo nights, karaoke and the occasional live artist. Although there is no catering kitchen there is sufficient space to introduce a simple back bar food offer especially in the lounge, which would bring an additional income stream. The popular beer garden is a great space to host fun days and community events during the summer months.
