George & Dragon Pub

Bartenders are rudest I've seen in Seattle, wouldn't waste a night or money there again. more

My wife and I were stared at from the time we walked in the door until I was threatened with attack by the white trash regulars that didn't like the looks of us. I would second the other review that says ""Anglophile"" hangout. Don't go there if your skin isn't white. Staff was no help as the violent regulars followed me out of the bar as we were trying to escape the trash. Bad place to watch the Sounders game. Cons: fighting, threats more

I went to this pub last week and had the worst service ever. The bartenders kept ignoring me and they kept giving me broken glasses, not just cracked but literally broken edges. I ordered a drink and i never got it, i ended up leaving before i could even get the drink i ordered. They got me for about 8 bucks not including the generous tips i left (i've been a waiter, so i know how to tip). I really tried to get into the tone of the place but i kept getting stares and smug looks from the so-called regulars and the staff. Wasted my hard-earned money, don't do the same. Cons: service and atmosphere more

I tried to like this place just to watch football. The crowd and atmosphere were always good but the bartenders just didn't understand that they were at work. I don't need good service. I just want a few beers and a match. Several bars have opened in the last couple of years with both Fox and Setanta so fans and expats have plenty of new options. Pros: None now Cons: Bar staff more

I love the George and Dragon. I've found plenty of pubs around Seattle that show football games, ranging from the Premier League to international fixtures, but they are all just sort of okay - decent food, decent drink, boring atmosphere. But, go on any Saturday or Sunday morning/afternoon to the George and Dragon and you'll get decent food, decent drink, and an atmosphere that is as close to an English pub as I've found this side of the pond. For food, I've had the bangers and mash (pretty good), English breakfast (good as well) and fish and chips, which I had had high hopes for but which turned out to be pretty bad. A shame, as I had convinced myself it would be the only place in Seattle I'd be able to find authentic English fish and chips, which are amazing. The George and Dragon's... not so much. They have a lot of good beer on tap, including some I've only had in my time England (such as Kronenberg, my personal favorite). Everything is pretty inexpensive, but whenever I go to watch football I couldn't care less. Its the best place for English ex-pats and American ex-pats in training to get together over a pint and enjoy the beautiful game. Pros: As close to an English pub as I can find Cons: Disappointing fish and chips more

Foreign ID cards cannot be accepted according to Washington State Liquor Board. The W.S.L.B. is very clear on this. The only acceptable ID's are US state Drivers licenses/ID cards & Canadian Provence Driver's licenses, US military ID's and the PASSPORTS of all countries. Some bars do not enforce this but that is a chance that they take. To the previous review from ""seattleone"" :::The door guy at The George and Dragon was just doing his job and protecting the bar and its staff from potential legal liability. If you are visiting on vacation you should pick up a guide book- most of them mention nightlife laws/regulations and ID requirements. Pros: Nice deck, strong drinks good staff Cons: Really crowded Fri and Sat nights more

Do not patronise this establishment. Went down there on Saturday to meet friends for the summer solstise festival. This ENGLISH establishment does not accept English (or Australian) ID's as proof of age. Go figure. We thought the guy at the door was joking. When we questioned him as to why he could not use a perfectly legal form of ID to prove age he could give absolutely no legal or logical reason except for that is what his manager told him (who just happened to be standing next to him so he said) and said that we should all have AMERICAN driver's licenses. What an idiot. The guy tried to provoke us wanted to 'take us on' right there. I have lived in London for the past 3 years and have never been bullied, threatened, pushed or otherwise harrased like we were before we even got in the door at G&D. We will never return there and would warn anyone who is thinking about going there to avoid it - ESPECIALLY anyone looking for a good 'English' pub - they do not want to do business with English or Australian citizens. Not surprisingly we patronised 3 other local Freemont establishments that day who had absolutely no problem doing business with English patrons. Pros: Not a one Cons: Everything about it especially the staff more

This is a great neighborhood bar I frequent often. A good place to sit alone at the bar and watch some footbal (the real kind) or sit in a booth with a group of pals and talk over a pint. Good English pub fare. Watch out for Tuesday Trivia nights. It can get really crowded. I watched the World Cup here. What a blast! Pros: European footbal, Pints of Ale, Cons: Limited Parking more

If the staff isn't complaining about watching a particular soccer match that was shown earlier in the day they are busy pouring your drink as slowly as possible while giving you a bad attitude. Don't waste your time. more

just moved to Fremont and I love this pub! Friendly faces, good atmosphere, a crowd that mingles rather than sticking to their own tables. The staff treats you like and old friend by your second visit. Weeknights here are the best. more

I went into the George and Dragon recently. I also found that it took forever to get a drink and the bartenders were exceptionally rude. Not just to me but also to a few other customers. I won't be going in there again. ALSO: In regards to one review, I think it's ridiculous to have to buy a bartender a shot just to get them out of a bad mood. Pros: good beer Cons: nasty bartenders more

As an English Bird, I have to say you're all missing the point. This is a BRITISH Pub, it's gonna be smoky and full of yobs, this is what an English pub is like, just think of it as a theme bar. Although the food is below average I have always found that the staff are really friendly and if they're in a bad mood, get them a shot, they'll soon get over it. Far from reminding me why I left England this place believe it or not makes me feel a little homesick, the decor may not be that nice but it feels like an English Pub which I guess is the point, I Love this place. Pros: Real English Pints, Good Bar Chat, Brits Cons: Bad Food more

Owners are cool but their rude staff is totally undesirable. I do not recommend going to the George and Dragon unless you are eager to be ignored when you need a drink. Most of the bartenders (especially those who have been working there awhile) are bitter and rude. Also (as a side note) make sure you know what you are paying for, because sometimes the bartenders make ""mistakes"" on your tab. Total jerks. Pros: rude staff! more

The George & the Dragon is a nice English pub. They have a really good selection of beers on tap and the bartender was very nice and helpful. The one real negative is that the bar can get really busy when there's a football (soccer to some people) game on. Parking can be a challenge sometimes as well. Pros: Good selection, Friendly staff Cons: , Crowded more

I am stunned by some of the ""bad service"" comments I have seen here. Not only are all the staff right proper blokes, but I have personally observed that they are nice to everyone, patient with the drunks at 9am (including me on a game morning), and love to talk about football. Aside from some of my soccer teammates, i know of no other place to go have a good chat about whay Man U's defesne is collapsing, over a cold pint of Boddie's. The food is excellent -- not Gordon Ramsay, by any means -- and the simple stuff is best: beans on toast, bacon baps, sausage butties, etc. And they never forget to bring the HP sauce! :-) Come to the George and enjoy yourself with great beer and food, fun staff and a Manchester United victory on telly. Pros: Staff love footy, Great crowds, Lively atmosphere more

""George & Dragon"" pub is just another listless English drinking hangout. Lonley crowds hang onto the bar during the week with an occassional lively weekend atmosphere. So if you into the old English style approach of smokey pubs, cocky management, and undercooked food this may be your dream haven. As previous posters mention Fremont has alot of great pubs that make ""G&D"" last stop! Pros: import beer Cons: smoke, bossy management, food more

George & Dragon is predominantly a sports bar hangout and which caters to soccer matches and ignores other major sports The decor is average with a smelly/filthy looking carpet. Beer is quite good but the food is bad(fishn'chips) poorly undercooked(Englsih style)! So if looking for a night out where mostly Englsih chaps drink this might be your hangout but the smoke and crowd make this an unpleasant hangout! Pros: englishbeer Cons: smoke, facilities, parking more

a decent place to watch a soccer game, but i found the staff to be extreemly inconsiderate and rude. i won't be going back here any time soon. take my word for it, watch the game on satelite or have a crink at any of the other much cooler bars in fremont. more
