The New Clarence closed its doors on 30 June 2023 after being put up for sale. 

The pub used to be a great real ale destination and hosted live music and comedy nights, community groups from those interested in history and poetry to Tolkien Society, Adult Fans of Lego and CAMRA meetings and many many many more events.

The Clarence is the only pub in Hull to be designated as an asset of community value.   The features that make the New Clarence such an asset to the community are :

• Its ethos, the Clarence was a really lovely and welcoming place for people to come alone or meet together
• It is in a great location in the city centre
• There are transport links to every part of the city from Bond Street and the Interchange.  Most people in Hull can get here and home safely and affordably
• The bar area was wheelchair accessible.  The whole building will be made accessible when it is fully renovated
• It has a function room and kitchen and can host community and private events whilst the main bar is open to the public

If you don't already know it - the New Clarence is on the corner of John Street and Charles Street in the New Town area, close to the Hull New Theatre
