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

Dangerous Anglophile Bar

by MrBongo at Citysearch

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.

• Pros: none
• Cons: fighting, threats

Dont waste your money

by beerfiend at Citysearch

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.

• Pros: none
• Cons: service and atmosphere

Enjoy your other options

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

THE place to be to watch (real) football

by malsquad at Citysearch

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
