Today I finally made it to George & Dragon. I was in a pinch and looking for a place that had Telefutera so I could watch my favorite soccer team (Chicago Fire) play. I called George & Dragon and was told they could accommodate. One packed light rail ride later I was there and ready to get my game and drink on.
George & Dragon is my type of place. The decor has been described by other Yelpers as very British. Since I have not been the the UK, I cannot attest to that but it does look like what I think a British pub should look like. It actually reminded me of the Winchester in Shaun of the Dead. The football scarves are always a nice touch. Perhaps one day I'll donate a USA or Fire scarf and see if they put it up among the UK clubs scarves.
The beer selection was not as good as I had hoped it would be but it's still better than most. Today I was in the mood to drink German despite being in a British pub so I opted to drink Spaten.
For lunch I ordered the Shepherds Pie and it was amazing. It's the third different shepherds pie I've had in metro Phoenix and it might be the best one.
My team lost an ugly one and it spoiled my day a bit but I was happy to have made my first visit to George & Dragon. It will not be my last. With easy access to light rail I plan on being back soon. Cheers!
