Just had dinner and drinks here with a client the other day while discussing the condos we'd just reviewed and the neighborhoods they were in. While chatting we each had an ale - him a Tetley's and me a Black & Tan. My partner, Michael, was there too but I didn't check which ale he was sipping so I can't comment much on it.
For snacks we all shared a plate of the various fried foods: mushrooms, jalapeno poppers, fries, chicken tenders, onion rings and more. Michael got the fish & chips (fries good, fish a little too greasy for me).
While it wasn't packed when we first arrived it did eventually get that way. It's a loud venue if you're trying to talk business in the busier hours but otherwise it's okay. G&D was a good place to get my client oriented to Fremont and some of what it has to offer.

The George and Dragon, what looks like another Fremont hole in the wall kind of a place from the street is actually one of the top ten soccer bars in the country according to GQ magazine; for good reason, the George is an American footy fan's dream. Showing mainly English Premiership/FA Cup and Champions League games the George is mainly an English pub but they also show action from Spain and Italy on a regular basis.
The regulars are exactly what you would expect from a soccer bar; on game day most everyone is wearing a jersey supporting their squad passionately. To an outsider it might seem a bit cliquish and so it should be: the Arsenal fans (John, one of the owners is an Arsenal supporter) who come in week in and week out won't really talk to you if you only come for the Cup Final. However, this is one of the only places where you can meet other fans and talk footy like others talk about the Mariners around the water cooler including all the transfer rumors and controversies. Since they replay most of the big games in the evening you can forget for a few hours that you are in rainy Seattle and be transported to your favorite European hideaway.
They have a full bar and a great beer selection with 15+ taps. Pints are a little pricey at 4.50 but it beats the flight to Europe to watch the match or your own satellite hookup.
The food is perfect pub fare: I would recommend the chicken strips and chips with homemade honey mustard dressing. The chips are the best in Seattle, think Dick's fries but five times thicker and are served with a bottle of HP sauce for the English flavor.
Their schedule of games is on their website at georgeanddragonpub.com and is updated frequently so if you want to see the true Seattle soccer scene check it out.

The George and Dragon in Fremont is reminiscent of the traditional British pub. Soccer (yes real football!) plays on the multitude of TVs which are fed by a satellite feed that allows you to watch European club football, tournaments, and more. The ambiance of the pub is cozy traditional with an outdoor porch for summer time drinks and world cup mania. The website posts a schedule of the games available for viewing on a specific day. There is a Happy Hour menu that is complimented by the depth of the bar selection. Usual British pub fare is served with a smile by the knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Cool crowd, lots of singles, decent pool table. Not much to dislike about the George & Dragon. Bartenders are cute and pour a stiff drink.

great english pub...very chill and relax - great place to watch football (american soccer) and have a pint. they have lots of beers on tap to choose from. watch out on the weekends because this place gets packed. Tuesday night is Trivia night -starts around 8pm and lasts until 10-ish pm. Trivia's cheap and groups have to be under 6 people. And another tip: bring someone from the UK for trivia...lots of questions pertaining to England! Cheers!

which means that it is a 'true' English pub. Although I live in Fremont, I just visited the George and Dragon Pub for the first time. They've got one pool table (and a long wait to play), a rowdy, unpretentious crowd and lots of publike stuff hanging on the ways.
Overall, a really solid bar - I can't wait to make it to see a soccer game.

I'm glad that this little place is still around. One of the few traditional places that hasn't been over-inhabited yet. Proves that if a pub is good, it sticks around for a while! Wish I lived closer - their beer selection is terrific and it's a great place to just sit, have a beer and not have to feel like you're on display.

George and Dragon is a cute little English pub in Fremont with an awesome pub quiz. For those of you who have never taken part in a pub quiz, you are missing out. They are all a little different, but here you form a team and buy into the game. The overall winner at the end of the night takes most of the pot (I think the bar takes some, too). Spend the evening drinking and trying to answer random questions!

The George & Dragon is a very Seattle-casual pub where tapered pants and North Face vests abound, BUT, it is so laid-back that no one really cares. The pithers are well-priced, the food is filling and rich and they have the best Trivia Night around. If I lived in Fremont, I would probably be a regular here.
