I was a bit hesitant to leave a five star review of Jo’s, only because I don’t want more folks finding this hidden gem. It’s getting too damn crowded. Last of the true«townie» bars here in Hull, you can come for the nautical basement ambiance, the friendly patrons, the attentive bartenders, the reasonably priced drinks, or the live music heard almost nightly. Love this place. You know, on second thought… stay away.

One of the best bars on the east coast, for that matter the Spanish Main(all be it the northern Spanish Main). Honest service. Drinks, cold beer. A view out the rear window that makes you feel like you are in a pill box(extra points if you know what that is) a deck, private, cigars? Bring your own. Reminds me of Uncle Frank wearing plaid pants. I think this place could with stand a couple of shells from the 16″ guns on the deck of the Missouri. Did I say one of the best bars? In serious contention for the best bar.

This spot is amazing. Strong, inexpensive drinks. Bizarre basement feel with plenty of resin, bottle, cap tables. A large patio overlooking the water. This spot is not very stylish or quaint but it is awesome. Oh — and they have a cork dart board to boot!

What an undiscovered gem. As another review states if this place were in Boston… It’s not, it’s way out at the end of Hull, and at Golden Hour in the Summer the patio is a lot like sitting out at a Caribbean bar on your favorite Island. Low prices only makes it better. Try it out.

Dropped in on a whim and glad we did. A basement bar that has tons of maritime character, cheap drinks, rustic local feel, great music and nice folks. We love to hit this place up on a Sunday to enjoy some«Sunday Funday» along with live music. Have not eaten there yet, but should try it soon. This place is definitely not a chain. Definitely worth the trip if you want a very local, easy going place for a beverage. Arghhh!

Great spot! You can chill on couches and play board games, belly up to the bar and chat with the great bartenders, sit on the deck and watch the coast guard boats do their thing– just a fun, local place to hang for adults of any age. Even saw a fantastic Latin Blues fusion band(CDE) and danced there last week! No food, but they are cool with you ordering from local takeout spots nearby. Cash only, but there’s an ATM. The décor is so eclectic and kitsch, if this place was in Boston it would be THE hipster place to be.

Worth the drive out there. If there were good food options, the place would be 5 stars. Great atmosphere and location. It’s like a combination between a ships hold and your living room. Good beer selection. Cash only is a drawback, but it’s still a great spot.

Great bar! Hang on the couches and watch TV like you are in your basement family room or hang on the deck and watch the boats go through Hull Gut. Worth the trip on a Sunday afternoon for the best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had. They don’t serve food but with all the garnishes on the Bloody, you will feel full after you’ve had two. Check their facebook page for live entertainment.

The bartender Donna is amazing the best bar hand in the state by a MILE. Great spot right on the water. A hidden gem. Drink prices are reasonable.
