| The name "The George" conjures up images of a traditional hostelry with a roaring fire and a busty barmaid pulling pints of ale for the customers. Nothing could be further from the truth in this case. The George is a modern bar on the ground floor of an office block. It seemed to be full of junior suits trying to impress Tracy from Accounts when I went in. A minor plus is an outside drinking area but I really would steer clear of this one. murgatroyd - 29 Oct 2009 07:09 |
| Small and full of drunk bods mainly in suits, Lacks any character really as its a modern building actually stuck under a concreate office block. It can't really maintain its Pub status as it looks more like a style bar without the style. A quick look at the A4 peice of crumlped paper for a menu put me off a bit to eat and it was a shame to see no formal bar menu on cocktails or offers. It does have a large outside seating area which is a bonus for cenral however the choice of covering for this proved funny when a group of advertisement chaps got repeatedly soaked when the wind lifted the water collecting in the gardens orning which hardly covers the outside space? rotton_milk - 19 Sep 2009 22:00 |
| Used to go here a lot, thought I'd drop in the other week and it's closed down. Looks like the whole building is coming down LufthansaTerminal - 31 Dec 2008 18:26 |
| Wierd little place - have to go back and try it again, but seem to remember (7 years ago) a pool table and local brickies. dsw - 13 Mar 2007 16:43 |
| Very nice. Old, creaky, unpretentious, and fitted with Bulgarian and Polish barpersons as standard. Does what it says on the tin, providing the tin says, "This is a pub." Lovely. Ruby - 19 Apr 2005 15:38 |
