Built in 1871 and originally called The Victoria Hotel. Leased to new Hewitt’s Brewery of Grimsby for many years, it became the most popular pub in the resort. Internal layout has been fully opened out, but some niche areas are incorporated. A large patio is situated at the rear. Reopened in March, the Old Vic went on to win camra pub of the season for Summer 2024 and has proved to be favoured by patrons of all ages. The usual pub games are played and occasional live music is performed. Children and dogs are allowed until 7pm.
