Traditional pub just off Newland Avenue keeping separate bar & lounge. Pool table in bar. Open mic nights on Tuesdays. Intends to add Old Rosie cider and food in the near future.The musical group,The Housemartins (Paul Heaton) were regulars before the road to stardom took off.
Purpose-built in 1954 by the Hull brewers Moors & Robson to an extremely basic, utilitarian design, the Grafton speaks of post war austerity and is a particularly unaltered example of its type. It retains its original floor-plan of two rooms - smoke room and former men-only bar; both with their own separate entrances and toilets. (The former off-sales, later converted to ladies' toilets, was itself a 1960's addition)
