| - I've been popping into the George and Dragon nearly every Thursday since last April for trivia nights. I like the place. The trivia host is entertaining and the place feels worn in, but not worn down. I feel comfortable and welcome every time I visit. Most weeks I end up ordering a couple beers from the rather large selection. The drink prices, while high for some people's tastes, are comparable to what I've seen in other places. Imports are going to cost more, it's the price you pay to have a selection of Boddington's, Murphy's and Guinness all in one place, among other things.
Normally on trivia nights I don't end up getting food, as although I find their portions proportional to the prices, I don't feel I need to eat half my weight in fish and chips in one sitting. I have no qualms with the quality on the few occasions I've grabbed some eats, for example the curry chicken is very flavorful and highly recommended. The dragon wings are another of my favorite, spicy but not overwhelming. The fish and chips, as previously mentioned, are served on a giant platter and have generally been excellent.
I recommend at least one visit to this bar. Don't be scared off by the divey look of the pub-front. The F.C. scarves adorning the ceiling, British booze advertisements on the walls, and the cozy but not claustrophobic seating arrangements make it a unique place in the middle of the desert. If you do visit, pop in on a trivia night so you can listen to the host demean the guests with some clever snide remarks and give yourself an entertaining diversion for a night. Who knows, you may become a regular before you know it.
