Yes, it's true. You will hear British accents here. One of the better neighborhood bars in central Phoenix, George & Dragon is also one of the best British pubs in Arizona. A very friendly and diverse crowd - I made some of my first friends here in AZ at George & Dragon.
Not exactly like a typical British/Irish pub crowd - as this place is frequented by a more punk-rock, rag-tag, counter-culture bohemian crowd. Whatevs. It keeps things interesting. People playing darts or pool are always up for talking and invite you to join in. The bartenderesses here are always very nice and well endowed at the same time.
Beer selection is among the best in Central Phoenix it would make any discerning Brooklyn hipster drool with delight. Chimay, Tetley's, Stella Artois, Kronenburg, Boddington and Anchor Steam are among the brews available. The jukebox is a gem - everything from The Kinks to the Police, David Bowie and Tom Jones.
No Country Karaoke on Mondays is a riot, and has one of the hugest song lists in town from which to choose. They have also recently added a 1960s British mod dance night on Wednesdays.
