The Brain Jar
At The Brain Jar, we’re not just a bar — we’re a space for ideas, art, music, and connection. Nestled in Hull’s Old Town, we’ve created a “third place” where people can gather, relax, and explore. Whether you’re here for a slice of our pizza, a carefully crafted cocktail, or just to soak up a gig or exhibition, you’ll always find something to spark your imagination.
Across our two floors and three rooms, you’ll catch everything from open mic nights to opera, comedy, and creative workshops. We stock over 60 cocktails, temperance mixes, loose-leaf teas, local craft beer, and more — all served alongside our simple and flavourful food menu.
We want The Brain Jar to feel like home, a place where people come to think, create, and connect — whatever their style.

About
Old Town
Hull
Old Town is Hull at its most charming — full of winding streets, historic buildings, and stories waiting to be discovered. Here, cosy pubs, artisan shops, and cultural gems sit side by side, offering a perfect blend of past and present for curious explorers.
Follow the cobbled streets, soak in the heritage, and uncover hidden treasures around every corner. From hearty meals in centuries-old pubs to unique local crafts, Old Town is the neighbourhood where Hull’s history comes alive, inviting you to explore its streets and stories at your own pace.
Hull has always done things its own way. Once England’s busiest port and a city that stood proudly apart during the Civil War, its spirit of independence runs deep. From the cobbled lanes of the Old Town to the vast Humber estuary, Hull’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and community.
Today, that spirit shines through a city alive with culture and creativity. Its thriving independent food and drink scene, world-class museums, and vibrant festivals sit alongside a proud sporting tradition and a warm, down-to-earth welcome. Hull is a place shaped by its history but looking firmly to the future — a city with soul, grit, and something unique around every corner.
