About The Crooked Billet Inn

The Crooked Billet Inn is a grassroots music venue in Ryehill, Hull with a standing capacity of approximately 70. Bring your own PA, mics and instruments.

This listing is part of the Hull venue directory.

The ‌‌‍Crooked Billet is a 1960s estate pub on the Holderness Road / Ings Road junction in east Hull, a former local-brewery house now run by Marston's. It splits into a separate bar and a large comfortable lounge — the lounge hosting live music at weekends — with a pool room, big-screen Sky Sports across four TVs and two patio areas outside. A community-rooted local that also home to an over-55s club, fishing, pigeon, football and rugby groups, it pairs weekend live music with its sports-and-quiz calendar.
