George and Dragon English Pub

The reviews are accurate 👌 This is a great spot to drop in. The service is excellent. It is very welcoming atmosphere. Brittney was my server and did great job. The Lemon Posset 🍋 is great 😍. Even the N/A drink is tasty 😋 (Santa Clausthaler)

A must-visit for football fans and food enthusiasts, blending a vibrant atmosphere, excellent food, and great service and hospitality. This pub is a home for Manchester United supporters, with a bunch of screens ensuring you catch every thrilling moment. They open early for all United games, making it the go-to spot for Red Devils fans to cheer. The energy during matches is electric, perfect for enjoying “real football” with fellow fans. The breakfast menu shines, with the English breakfast as the star. It’s a hearty plate of crispy bacon, perfectly cooked eggs, sausages, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, and beans, delivered with quality and generous portions. Other breakfast options are solid, but this classic is a standout. Pair your meal with cold beer, served refreshingly chilled, from lagers or a hot coffee. The great service ensures drinks and meals arrive promptly, with staff whose warmth and efficiency enhance the experience. The interiors are a treat, merging Irish pub charm with football passion. Adorned with club flags, scarves, and souvenirs, the decor creates a cozy, spirited vibe, with Manchester United flag in front on gameweeks. There’s plenty of seating, accommodating solo visitors or groups, and ample parking adds convenience for stress-free visits. The hospitality here is exceptional, with staff making you feel like part of the community, whether you’re a regular or a first-timer. I love this place for its infectious energy, superb breakfast, and unwavering dedication to football. George & Dragon is more than a pub—it’s a welcoming hub where great food, drinks, and match-day excitement come together. Whether you’re a United fan or just seeking a lively spot with outstanding service, this pub delivers an unforgettable experience.

I've been wanting to visit George and Dragon for so long and we finally stopped in for lunch. As soon as we walked in staff and customers invited us to sit. It was a great welcoming for our first time in! We shared the dinner size fish and chips, came with a side of coleslaw. The fish was delicious flakey and crispy and plenty big enough for us to feel full. The beer was cold with a lot of options. Would be great to hang out & shoot pool, watch a game or have a nice dinner with friends & family. Looking forward to going back if not for the food, for the friendly people!

4.5/5 stars because we had weird vibes from our server. But the food was great - the fish and chips were phenomenal, some of the best I've ever had. The fish was perfectly breaded (not too thick), and the fish was so moist/tender without being oily. We also got a Cornish Pastie with a side of curry - which was a great choice. The pastie was well seasoned and cooked, and having the curry as an added flavor was a great addition.

Huge shout out to Brittany for making my experience as perfect as it was. I walked in off the streets and as a dark beer drinker, I wanted something other than Guinness. She recommended Founders Porter and it was perfect. Thick, creamy and smooth. There's a good amount of lunch specials, but I asked what she recommended and she went with the Shepherd's Pie. It's a generous size for lunch and very filling. It comes with a flavorful gravy that goes nicely with the entire meal. I ordered a hot custard at the end of my meal and it was one of the best custards I've ever had. It was made fresh, not served too hot, thick, smooth, not too sweet. Restaurant is pretty big; they did a great job utilizing the space and not overcrowding the tables. There's a gaming area with pool and darts as well.

MY FAVORITE PLACE!!!!! The best wings, fish tacos, bangers and mash, and drinks!!!! I was coming here before my daughter was born, but even after she was born she has became a regular with everyone! The atmosphere is amazing especially if you’re a football fan. We’ve been here for Europa league, Premier League, and Champions League games. Highly recommended especially if you have a family! ALSO SHOUTOUT TO JAMES FOR ALWAYS BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE GAMES!!!!

A friend recommended George and Dragon to me so we went by. The atmosphere was cool and themed well. They have a great selection of drinks and the server was good for recommendations. I ordered the fish and chips which had huge portions! The only semi frustrating thing was that the service was slow. I’ll for sure be coming back soon though

First time trying George and dragon.....and it was on a Manchester United match day 😮. It was a really cool experience to see so many fans show up early to support their club. We showed up a few minutes before opening. There was a group of about 5 people before us with white jerseys on. Then as the doors opened like 10 more people showed up with red jerseys on. Still oblivious to our surroundings,we see the TV's are all showing a soccer pregame and there's a local banner for their chapter of Manchester United fans. That's when we connected the dots. If you're on the fence about visiting,please go on a match day. That alone is worth the visit(Beware it gets loud). Within 15 minutes the restaurant was jammed packed with more people entering and standing, waiting for a chair or table to open up. On to the restaurant visit itself,dark dining room with a large bar. The server was as attentive as she could be but with what seemed to be 100+ people we saw her 3 times. When she first took our order,then we had to flag her down for a refill and flag her down for the check. Great service for the amount of people and tables she was serving. We tried the fish and chips and the shepherds pie that day. The fish was great,big chunky slices with a thin flaky battered shell. The fries unfortunately were not good,some were soggy,some were hard (semi cooked) and have a frozen food taste. The shepherds pie was good. Overall cool experience for the futbol club angle,the food didn't match the experience.

Delicious fish and chips... lots of cold beer on draft, which is most appreciated. Great service!

Took them 15 min to get waters at our table then we weren't seen again for AN HOUR. The tables next to us were all getting served, water, food, even got to their 3rd round of drinks and we still haven't even been asked for our order or our water refilled. We tried getting the servers attention 3 separate times and he just ignored us. So finally after an hour I asked what was going on and their response was "we're busy". Like no shit. But how are you being so attentive to the other tables but not ours? Service was trash. Server was a jerk. Food was trash. Wouldn't recommend to anyone unless you wanted to be treated like this.

Moved out of the area, so I was happy to visit while in town once again. We came from a restaurant in the area after being underwhelmed and knew George and Dragon would save the day. Ordered the ruben which is the Friday special, and had left overs to take home and enjoy the next day. Service in the early evening is quick and our server was very attentive to us.

We love this local bar and it is a must visit whenever we are in the area. They have some of the best fish and chips and a great draft beer selection. They have some fun bar games and there is a lot of space to hang out and talk with friends. Their patio area in the front is a little small and loud, but the inside more than makes up for it.

Food was good. Fish bites batter was a little heavy and beer cheddar would have been better than w/jalapeños like every other AZ place

I was in love with the Cornish Pasty Company because I craved these lovely confections. But George and Dragon's short crust pastry stuffed with chicken curry and potatoes are my new go to satisfy that craving. He bartenders last night, Cat and Jana were welcoming with playful banter. They know all the regulars and even asked me for my name and chatted with me. I cannot wait to come back!

First things first, GO ENGLAND!!! I love that they are doing watch parties for the Euros and throughly enjoyed the watch party July 6th, and looking forward to enjoying the finals this Sunday! Jolene provided amazing service and even checked in on the status of my food when it took awhile (ticket was lost). Though the menu is limited for watch parties, the English Breakfast was spot on. I love that they didn't even bat an eye to make it vegetarian, and even inquired if I was vegan. Outside of watch parties, this location is on my radar to try again as I haven't visited since COVID. My Nanny (grandma from England) always loved this pub when we were on that side of town, so this place has lots of nostalgia for me. One of the best pubs outside of England!

As a person who bartended in NYC and loves Cornish Pasty and Casey Moore's I wanted to love this place. The food was ok (fish and chips) and the beer was good. But if you are looking for a British style place, this is not it. All beers are served in pint shaker glasses (ghetto). Menu has a few English things but mostly bar food. I mean a British style bar should never have fish tacos on the menu. Place was a bit of dive so we ate, bounced and went to Cornish Pasty for a proper pint. Avoid this place

When I used to spend a lot of time in the valley back in the mid 1990s, I came to George and Dragon because it was featured in the best of Phoenix one year. While living out of state, I saw it featured on one of the Rescue shows, so after moving back here full-time in 2019, I decided to put it on my list of places to check out again. The restaurant is still located in the same building that it was back in the mid 90s, and surprisingly, I didn't notice much change since my last visit. During my last visit in the mid 90s, my colleague got the shepherds pie and I got the fish and chips. I decided to get the fish and chips again this visit. I must confess that my memory is not good enough to remember exactly what the fish and chips were like in the mid 90s, but I can tell you that this time they did not live up to my expectations. The cod fillet was definitely premium quality and a sizable portion for a lunch portion. It was batter dipped, possibly with a beer batter, but I'm not certain. In any case it was an excellent compliment to the cod. The unfortunate fact is that both mine and my wife's fillets were overcooked. The battered exterior was a dark golden brown, and my wife's fillet was dry and tough around the edges. While the batter on my fillet tasted somewhat burnt, the fillet inside was still moist and tender. The chips were basically steak fries, and were properly cooked although they seemed tough to my wife. One of the big mistakes they make is placing the fillet directly on top of the chips. I understand, elevating it so that the bottom of the fillet batter stays crispy however, all of the fries under it were soaked in the oil from the fillet making them soggy and unappetizing. The lunch fish and chips only comes with one side, and we both chose coleslaw. The other choices were limited such as peas or another vegetable. You could choose a salad for an additional charge, but at $10.99 for the basic fish and chip lunch, that seemed a little too expensive. The coleslaw was nothing to brag about. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great either. Lastly, I'll talk about the atmosphere. First of all parking was in the rear, with plenty of room. but it was about a 10 to 15 yard walk to the closest entrance. We entered through a side door, although we were not sure when we opened the door whether it led to the kitchen or the restaurant. It was not marked as an entrance but rather than walk another 20 yards around the building to the main entrance we decided to give it a try. The door led to a section of the pub where there were a couple of pool tables. After walking through that section, we were greeted by a server who offered to seat us. There were only about a half dozen other customers at the time, which is not surprising being that it was a weekday around 2 PM. Whenever my wife and I go to a restaurant we always prefer a booth with padded backs and seating surfaces. However, in the case of G & D, they only have bistro height tables with wooden back padded chairs. This is unlike what I recall from my visit in the 1990s where I think they had banquettes across the front - of course I could be wrong about that. We settled on a four top table along the front near where I sat on my last visit. We were greeted with menus and waters very quickly, and our order was taken within minutes. It was clear from the amount of time it took to get our food that everything is done fresh to order. In fact, they may not keep the fryer fully heated based on the amount of time it took. Due to my wife's fish being overcooked we sent it back, which resulted in another 20-ish minute wait. Fortunately, they left her the fries and coleslaw so she had something to keep her busy. Summing it all up we will probably will not bother returning here. My wife and I have both have spent weeks in London and honestly nothing really brought that London vibe to mind here at George and Dragon, other than maybe the fact that the food in both places is just so-so.

Seemed friendly at least the locals Lots of local afternoon drinkers start up a conversation and they seemed to open up to my non regular arse

Maybe it was an off night? We didn't have high expectations, but did anticipate better than we received. Service was extremely disappointing. Our waitress was not kind. She had attitude, acted bothered, and did the bare minimum. They were out of the veggie pastie and a few other items and she just stated they were out instead of offering/suggesting alternatives. The decor and vibe was mediocre Arizona and nowhere near authentic English pubs. Had one drink (which also disappointed) and one app and left. All in all I will keep calm and carry on.

My dad swears this is one of the best place for fish in chips in the Phoenix area. Big huge pieces, with big heavy breading and a side of steak fries. We used to go to the one on 48th back in the day but had to switch when it closed. The only time he will venture into the city LOL! Check out George and Dragon and their awesome fish and chips!

George and the Dragon is a pretty solid British pub for being in the middle of Arizona. Tables are a little sticky sometimes and the bathrooms don't have infant changing tables (okay, I know, weird thing to desire, and maybe the babies aren't the clientele this pub is trying to attract), but service is friendly and there's plenty of beer to choose from. I keep hoping they'll decide to bring in some Doom Bar, but I haven't gotten lucky yet. Food is, well, British food. They make a solid Indian Chicken Curry with the perfect bite of spice. The Shepard's Pie was a little heavy on the potatoes for my taste, so I think I'll stick with the curry next time. I've got to come back soon since there's a Sausage Roll on the menu that I'm dying to try.

I went here with friends on a Sunday afternoon. When I first entered I smelled an off-putting smell that was sort of life fish. I wasn't sure how could tolerate it but I'm guessing my nose got use to it. We sat down and were waited on by a lovely upbeat waitress. She got our drinks promptly. I had a mimosa and my friends had beer. I'm ordered the chicken curry pasty and my friends ordered the wings with garlic and Parmesan. The pasty was flaky, and the chicken was tender with very good curry flavor. The wings, which we asked for cooked so as to be crispy were absolutely delicious. The garlic and parsley ratio was spot on with flavor. We'll be back.

I forgot to take pictures but I had the fish and chips. The fish in size if really big. It was nice and flaky and tasted really good. I had 2 woodchuck ciders We were headed to the Journey/Def leopard concert. The waitress was super nice and attentive. Atmosphere was cool just low key. I will for sure be going back.

We came here for st. Paddy's day, and it was a good time. It was super busy but they were still efficient with our food and drinks. There's lots of seating inside and outside so finding somewhere to sit wasn't an issue, but it was definitely a more fun environment inside where we were sitting. The food was good for a bar, but nothing crazy. Overall I'd definitely come back.

Yes. Very valid. Please come and get Sunday roast or extra crispy garlic Parmesan wings!!

Georgian dragons is the same concept to this day really shocked that it was featured in bar rescue. I had the opportunity to go into the facility and it's a wonderful place.

This is my first time trying this place. If I wanted good desserts that are very tasty, I would pick this place. English Hot Custard(Like Byrd's Custard) is yummy. BlackBerry and Apple crumble very good! Sheppard's Pie is a overly seasoned/salty. They need to adjust the salt/seasoning. Gravy is good. My suggestion is to create an Indian curry style Sheppard's Pie. I'm looking forward to trying out other items on the menu. I would love to see an English Breakfast without pork with a substitution of beef. Love the hot custard & crumble!

I am a big fan of fish and chips, it's my go-to whenever it's available. GAD does it right, perfectly cooked and all the sides delicious. Cole slaw doesn't usually impress me, it's normally very boring, but for some reason I couldn't get enough of theirs, had a little zip to it. My gf got the bangers and mash, and really liked that. I am not really into bars, but this place is so chill and had a very welcoming warm vibe. Staff is all very friendly and helpful. Bonus story: I left my debit card by accident after I paid for dinner. I had to go back the next day, so I ordered lunch before I headed over. I got the English Dip, but when I got home with it, I was sad to find they forgot to pack my Au Jus :( :( so ima have to dock that fifth star.

I loved this place. You have to be open minded. It is not your typical pub. The service was a little slow but the drinks and food came out quick. They have a very good selection of brews on tap and in the bottle. We started off with the pretzel. It was perfectly cooked. The mustard and cheese sauce are amazing. Then we had the fish and chips. It was a huge plate. The fish was perfectly cooked. You should definitely get it. They have two pool tables. And a great atmosphere.

Had the Stuffed meat loaf. It was not a cooked meat loaf but rather 3 Hamberger patties simple stacked on top of one another, with very dry instant potatoes. The patties where very dry and over cooked as well. For some reason they put white cheese on top of the patties. Service was nice.

Definitely one of my favorite places ever. Very cozy and dark. The people here are always super nice and the bartenders are all very sweet. The food has always been really good here. For awhile their kitchen was down but now it's back up and better than ever. I've been a super big fan of the drink El Silencio. Which originally I think was called smoked cactus. They ended up overcooking the onion rings for a friend of ours but immediately replaced them with no charge after checking to see if maybe he liked his onion rings crispier. Over all one of my favorite bars to come to.

I have eaten and drunk here many times but this was my first time late on a Monday evening which turned out to be karaoke night. This was weird and almost all the participants chose songs with satanic themes. Anyway the food was good as usual and my pint of Fullers went down well.

4.8, I have visited this establishment once before and my food was delicious as it was this time. Only small issue, food was not as hot as it usually has been in the past, not crowded by any means. But great fish and chips, I haven't found better in the Phoenix area. Awesome service, always friendly. This is a laid back joint.

There were some beautiful burgers going past us when we visited George and Dragon. But alas, we were there for food with more of a British flair, which is what they're built upon. Sadly, the Sunday Yorkshire pudding special fell flat for us, as did the fish & chips which was overcooked, dry, and difficult to eat. As an option for a cold brewskie and a burger I think this place is spot on. Friendly service and a chill vibe. Go for that and I think you'll be golden!

Quaint British pub in Central Phoenix. My coworkers and I came on a Wednesday evening around 6/7pm. We were able to get a table for our party of 6-8 easily, despite a good section of the pub being reserved for poker night. The fish and chips came highly recommended and did not disappoint! The portion sizes are generous; I only ate half of the meal and was quite full. The fish was nice and crisp and I always enjoy a good thick fry. My coworkers had the Shephard's pie and it came out piping hot. They also took half of their meal as leftovers. Our party also had the halo burger, which captivated our interested with the cheese "halo." You must love cheese if you order it, because the cheese is the size of the plate!! I ordered a sticky toffee pudding to go and it was a miss for me. It was quite stodgy and a smidge burned. We could have used more toffee and it was closer to caramel. Maybe it's a one off/better fresh? Either way, definitely a fun, casual spot to enjoy drinks/British fare!

Service was super quick. The decor looks like places we visited in Germany. Shepards pie is so good. It never disappoints. Bangers and mash is a great meal. We had two different pasties as appetizers and both were on point. Love this place.

We visited today for the first time, as we had a British visitor and wanted to provide some authentic food and the recent reviews sounded promising. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food was not hot, the roast beef was tough, the roast chicken was overcooked and dry, and the Yorkshire pudding lacked any flavor. We also had to wait several minutes for cutlery after our food arrived. We ordered chips as an appetizer. The chips were hot and delicious, but they didn't arrive until we were almost finished with our meal. The beer selection was good, and we enjoyed a Smithwick's and a Kilkenny. Our server was friendly but apparently was diverted to other tasks and did not check on us for some time. The ambience was pretty authentic, according to our visitor, but that did not make up for the disappointing food and the spotty service. I doubt that we will return.

Where's Megan? Service was terrible the last few weeks however Billy was ok, but Megan was the only one who took the time to actually serve us as guests and not just customers. Trivia night is just not the same without her. Will be finding a new Thursday night hang out spot.

Stopped by to watch the England game. The place was packed. What a great atmosphere. still My server, Carly was a rock star. Always there for me. After the game I ordered the fish and chips that were awesome. Will be back soon. Highly recommend.

I can't believe I've never written a review for this place. I met my husband here and have had so many adventures. This is the type of dive bar that will take over your time and also change your life. I've seen people come and go at this place and have really been changed. You would think expect that from a bar, but this place is different. Much love.

We've been here 3 times now, and all 3 times have been delicious!! The service is quick. They have a huge selection of beer and cocktails, and their menu is amazing. You can't come here and not try the fish and chips. We always share because there's so much we want to try. If you order a "pastie," opt for the appetizer one. We've had the chicken curry pastie and chicken pot pastie. They don't skimp on the filling or flavor. My husband's new favorite is the bangers and mash. I was very surprised with this dish. My daughter only orders the shepherds pie it's delicious. The beer is ice cold and refreshing as well!

Awful food, too noisy. People smoke around place. It is never clean, Grafitti all over. Went with a bunch of people, the noise was too loud, smokers everywhere, there is a law no smoking. This place does nothing, our group walked out

Ordered large chips and fish. Nasty, nasty... Expensive, poor quality food or the dumped a order someone did not come and pay for into my bag. Waited 35 mins for poor food. I'm from Ireland, I know good food. Simple ...burn me once shame on Georgian.

I went for a late lunch and the service was poor even though they weren't busy. The bangers and mash were less than stellar - small burnt bangers, mash tasted blah, and the peas and gravy must have been from a can. The best thing was the beer! Waited and waited for the bill and was unable to get anyone's attention. Left full payment plus begrudgingly a decent tip (I didn't have change) on the table and left the restaurant. At that point the waitress finally shows up running after me asking me to pay my bill. I think the place would be ok if you went to watch a sports event, had burgers and beers and didn't mind the sticky tables.

It's so great..love this place .5 star review.. I will bring my friend and family always to eat here.

They gave me raw chicken one time when I ordered the chicken tenders and the manager Ulises offered me a free desert? I feel like a free dinner was more appropriate but I guess that's what they do at the George and Dragon.

What a gem. Had the chicken curry pastie & bangers and mash. Delicious!! Staff was lovely and accommodating. Drinks were really good. Had a proper lemon shandy. Would 100 go back

The food is always great however, the service is slow. You definitely get great service at the Bar. We enjoy eating here and playing pool.

Great food , great service and nice pub. Family friendly, toddler friendly. Food is very authentic and delicious.

I love this pub. The owner is always polite, her staff are always polite and attentive. Rustic wood interior and it always feels warm and welcoming. Their food is wonderful. Bangers and mash, chicken wings and I don't know what their secret is but they have the best fried zucchini of any restaurant or pub I have ever eaten. I am slowly working through their whole menu but the previously mentioned are my go to favorites. Don't forget to check out the very, very cool wall mural on the North side of their building.

great bar for sports and shooting the.....shit. hehe love u guys xxxoxoxoxo thanks for the daks doggy treats david!!!! im sorry and we love the pub az!!!! karakarakarawootwoot

Wioah ... listen folks I have been here one time before and had a drink with friends before moving on to our next adventure. Tonight I wanted to wrap up watching the Suns game and grub on some fish and chips, which I hear .. are delicious! however ... I could not get more than 10 feet in the door before I had to walk back out. There was pungent smell of raw sewage that was so overbearing that i was nearly gagging . I am shocked by the amount of people inside who did not seem to be impacted by it , it was literally overwhelming . Maybe some kind of back up , I don't know but dang it ruined my night . Maybe next time George's ..

Fish and chips Friday for me. The cod was so flaky and the flavor was delicious. Tartar sauce added was the perfect combo. Best fish and chips I've had so far. The bartender was great she made us tasty prickly pear margaritas that were to die for. She was great also. The whole ambiance was welcoming and fun. When you can sit and chat with strangers it makes for a great place. Forgot my pics

The fish and chips had decent fries but the fish was not edible. Clearly freezer burnt and dry. Sent it back and ordered a burger. Burger was clearly a pre made patty and dry. If you're an English pub and your fried fish is not edible there's a problem somewhere. Service was good but food was the worst I've ever had at a pub.

The cleanliness is lacking, had to look for a table without any smeared food on it. Rugs and curtains filthy. Kitchen staff with long beards and long hair with no hair nets. Long hair was flipping his hair above the ice bin for drinks.

The venue is cute, but when I sit at a bar, I need a little more attention than just asking me if I want another drink when my current drink is only half done. I don't like that! Especially when the bartenders are super busy cleaning random areas of the bar in between. Like, focus folks. Unfortunately, the positive thing wasn't my personal experience, but people playing pool and eating seemed really content, so that was nice to see and might work for others as well. Anywho, there's not much more to say here. I drank my 2nd beers and floated to the next spot. I'm not sure if I would go here again.
