Editorial Review for George & Dragon Pub – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
It's not unusual to see a full house of groggy fans, decked out in league jerseys cheering on their favorite teams at 6am on a Saturday. Later on, coffee is replaced by pints of imported British ales, including Newcastle, Boddingtons and McEwans. In all, 18 taps are clustered at the center of a beautiful, U-shaped wraparound bar. The menu sticks with traditional pub fare from the motherland--shepherd's pie, chicken curry and pot roast.

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

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
