Union Mash Up occupies a former Edwardian butcher's shop at 22-24 Princes Avenue in Hull, run as a creative venue and eatery with a deliberately eclectic programme. Its 85-capacity function room comes with a house PA, lighting and air conditioning, and hosts a rolling mix of weekly and monthly events — acoustic music, spoken word and poetry, comedy, DJ nights, cinema screenings and pop-up shops. It's a relaxed, community-minded space for emerging and eclectic performers rather than a traditional band-booking pub.
