The St George's Tavern has recently undergone a Management change and since then has gone from strength to strength. It's a great place to gor for a bite to eat, meet up with friends. It's got a great outside area where most people drink on nice days and a cool Cellar Bar, that not many people know about. Anytime I'm in the area I always pop in, it's got a great feel at night with dimmed lights and candles, I highly recommend it to everyone!

Better than one might think given the location at the back of Victoria Station but the combination of office workers and residents seems to be ok.
I've been in here now and then over the years and its always been fine and post the last refurb that hasn't changed

Friday after work (August 3rd) was my first visit here to the St Georges Tavern since its refurbishment a month or so back. The changes are impressive. Gone is the run-down spit and sawdust approach and in is the grand old city pub feel – with more beers to choose from to boot! Heineken and Amstel have been added to the regular lager choices and London Pride and Spitfire are now available amongst a few others for the ale fans. The pub is certainly now catering a lot more for the diners than before. The back of the pub is now solely for those who want a bite and this area has the feel of an old fashioned restaurant and all in all, looked fairly appealing. The smokers need not feel to upset either, as there is adequate outside seating though be prepared to stand when busy. I did fear this pub would go the wine bar route with leather sofas and chill-out music, but am glad that whilst this pub is perhaps aiming to entice a more varied clientele, its still not detached from the qualities it possessed before. It should be a pub for everyone and I think that’s what we’ve got here.

The St Georges Tavern is currently closed for refurbishment. Here’s hoping they do it up really nice for us smokers who’ll be feeling a little more miserable than usual come July 1st!

Should be rubbish as it possesses all of the unholy trinity of very cheap booze, 'pub grub' and 'traditional' furnishings, but is actually a good laugh, especially downstairs.
Can be a bit of a rush at lunch as it doesnt seem to occur to them that most people in the area only have an hour for lunch and as such they should get a move on in the kitchen, but when you can get some drinks in there for over a pound cheaper than normal priced pubs I couldnt care less.

Large pub which being near Victoria Station attracts tourists and large groups as well as the 'solitary drinkers' mentioned. Staff seem friendly and attentive. My drink was topped up to the line without my asking. Good for a pub that is technically round the back of a railway station!

I used to regularly get drunk in this pub when I worked in the area. It's not a bad place by any means, just a bit dull. It's reasonably priced for central London and has a friendly atmosphere most of the time.

IN ADDITION TO MY COMMENT A MTH BK... WENT IN ON FRIDAY AND IT WAS RAMMED, THE STAFF WERE RUSHED OFF THEIR FEET BUT THEY COPED WELL.
ALSO I BROUGHT A ROUND OF 6 DRINKS, IT COST £15.00!! NOT BAD EH!
|
cool pub young crowd.... drinks not badly priced!! would drink here again
|
Had an enjoyable evening in here last night, it's a great place to chill out for a bit if the trains are knackered!
|
Bit of a Tardis pub. Looks much smaller from outside but .. you get my drift. Unfortunately the Tardis seems to have landed on the Moon due to the complete lack of atmosphere. And the only ale (GK IPA) tasted a tad vinegary. As commented elsewhere, OK for watching football but very little else.

Weird pub, this, which isn't surprising given its location right close to Victoria train and coach stations. Lots of solitary drinkers. Decent pub for watching sport at. No big screens but you can't help to get a good view of one of the little tellies. Decent cheap ale, too. The Ultimate Burger (half-pounder, cheese, mushrooms, bacon, fried-egg, onion rings) for £6 isn't quite as Ultimate as I'd have liked, but is still pretty Ultimate.

£1.80 a pint.......in central london..........with my reputation. Seriously who cares what the pub is like, it shows football and has cheap beer. Fantastic

I think this pub was recently refurbished - it has a new wooden floor and apears to have had a lick of paint as well. It was nice a clean and the Fish n Chips were great. The staff are generall a cut above the average
