The Gilded Lounge
WHERE
Hull
What it’s like
A comedy night with a proper bar and food menu, doors at 7pm and nobody in after 8.
This one's for the grown-ups, a comedy club evening built around the show, the drinks and a menu you'd actually order from rather than just tolerate. Doors open at 7pm and that's your window, they don't let anyone in after 8, so this isn't a venue for turning up fashionably late.
The food side is more than an afterthought. Loaded nachos and a cheese and charcuterie board sit on the menu at £10 to £28, and there's a full bar doing cocktails and wine alongside the soft drinks, so you can make a proper night of it rather than just squeezing in a show. They flag themselves as allergy aware too, which is a decent sign for anyone who has to ask the annoying questions at the bar.
Booking is required, and it's worth knowing tickets are non-refundable unless the venue itself reschedules or cancels, so don't buy for a night you're only half sure about. Some events also have a dress rule, no shorts or baseball caps, which feels like a faff until you remember it's the kind of detail that keeps a comedy crowd feeling like an occasion rather than a Tuesday down the pub.
Getting there is straightforward enough. Street parking is free after 6pm and there are secure car parks nearby if you'd rather not chance it, which lines up nicely with that 7pm door time.
