| Not a bad little boozer for a Saturday pub crawl drink or two, but not one I'd rush back to! Lager selection good, but not so great for ale lovers... meland - 3 Oct 2011 12:29 |
| During an imprompt pub crawl last Saturday afternoon in and around Soho, we stumbled across this small, one roomed corner pub and I regret to say that we were none too impressed! It's old woodwork and mirrors were neglected and dirty. The toilets were disgusting and in need of refurbishment. Whatever real ale that normally is available was off so we had to resort to lager, which was poor. It's a crying shame to be honest, this little boozer has so much potential and so much could be made of it in time but for now it's one to write off I'm sad to say! Legolegs - 20 Jan 2010 10:35 |
| Single room late Victorian ( 1897) street corner pub situated slap bang in the centre of Soho. Internally, some original features remain - most notably a fine moulded ceiling and an ornate bar back - but the evident opening out of what was obviously a partitioned pub ( note the separate entrances ) into a single room with the usual mixture of high tables, chairs and sofas has created a pub that is not immediately likeable. Of particular note however, is a fine large Meux & Co Celebrated Ales Brewery Mirror. Windows indicate that the pub was formerly a Taylor Walker pub. I stand to be corrected, but I seem to recall that the pub had a spell as a Nicholsons pub. Like most Soho pubs seemingly, the welcome for passing customers such as yours truly is somewhat less than effusive, neither is there seemingly any real emphasis or obvious commitment to real ale. My recent early Friday afternoon visit proved that The George is no exception to this rule. There's 2 handpumps - rather oddly each is situated at opposite extremities of the bar. Beers on were Batemans Rosey Nosey and Spearfish ( Wadworths, I think ) . The Batemans - £ 3.30p - was reasonable, but, tellingly, despite the pub being quite busy, I don't recollect seeing any other pints of real ale being ordered during my half hour visit. The customer base appears to be younger media types and, taking everything into account, I'll probably give this one a miss in future. JohnBonser - 22 Dec 2009 12:20 |
