| BlackHaddock (175), , England | | March 29, 2012 I like to drink in interesting and pleasant surroundings, this inn fits the bill nicely.
A short walk from the famous and expensive Borough Market, it is well worth finding. Sit outside in the sun (if you are lucky) and just stare at the whole magnificent lenght of the frontage. It is owned by the National Trust and they have produced a book laying out its history (I haven’t read it).
I have been three times and my beer has got better each time.
While in the area, if it is daytime, visit ’Neils Yard’, it is the most expensive cheese shop on the planet. It is almost opposite the Market Porter, another famous pub, next to Borough Market.
| | SamGamgee (182), down the whirlpool, California | | February 13, 2012 Hit this place up for a pint with my German brewing professor and a few other students on our historic London pub crawl while in town for our study tour. It was the end of November and quite cold. Drafty place with some hard wooden benches next to a small bar. Had the George Inn ale which is a Green King rebadge and was not in great shape. Not really a beer destination, but a decently interesting and very historic pub. | | Cunningham (118), Halden, Norway | | February 8, 2012 This a truly grat and special place. You will not fine many of thes left in England.
They have an ok selection of ales. Very crowded on fridays, otherwise ok.
Very easy to find also. | | YULbier (209), Brno, Czech Republic | | September 21, 2011 Stunning interior! The dark wood make a very enjoyable decor to enjoy a pint. Problem is the selection is poor: few casks of rather bland beers. Sad because the place itself rocks. | derekvaiti (3), modena, Italy does not count - explanation | | October 9, 2009 A nice place where to eat one of the most delicious fish and chips in London and where to drink some good beers such as Greene King IPA and Deuchars, but also the house beer, called George Inn is quite good as well.
The place isn’t the most comfortable and it’s often crowded and it could be hard to find a place where to sit and anyone seems to be interested in receiving you.
Anyway prices are fair and it’s a must for those ones who are visiting London, because it is one of the oldest pub in the city. | | berkshirejohn (109), Bracknell, England | | June 5, 2009 Poor beer selection (GK plus one guest), but worth visiting for the atmosphere and history. Usually crowded. | | lada66 (47), Savonlinna, Finland | | March 25, 2009 Not a beer place. Five real ales and lagers on tap. They had own real ale (The George Inn Ale) brewed by Greene King. Fish and Chips 8£. The gas heaters on the terrace for the cold evenings (18.10.08). | | JoeMcPhee (398), Toronto, ON, Ontario | | September 21, 2008 Always packed, always slow, with a pretty poor selection by London standards. It’s cool enough if you’re into the history of the place, but if you’re looking for good beer, you should look elsewhere. I can’t recommend it for anyone given the large number of good places just around the corner. | | altonbrownd (146), Brussels, Belgium | | July 14, 2008 Nice to visit this pub, to be sure. But the beer selection was very poor. Nothing they don’t serve in every other pub in town. | | ogivlado (242), Zagreb, Croatia | | April 23, 2008 Nice wooden historic London house with few rooms. Beer selection is so so, ambient cheerful, just it’s a bit to tight and smothery, though there’s no smoking inside. |
