This Great Portland Street boozer has given a swanky revamp by the same guys behind the reinvention of The Cadogan Arms in Chelsea, so if you love the epic Sunday Roasts and wicked mini Gibsons being served up over there, you're definitely gonna vibe with what's going down at its Central London-based sister. Over here at The George they've also got some killer Gibsons on the menu (order one and you'll get a side-bowl of pickled onion Monster Munch. Hell yes!) or you could give their menu of Highballs a spin. Us? We say get in the pub spirit and go for one of their ultimate "Tiny Chaser" boilermakers. Nothing compliments a beer like a miniature Navy Strength Gimlet, FYI.

But this is a pub of two halves, yo, and if you don't venture Upstairs at The George you literally won't know the half of it. Up here the first floor plays host to three rooms; a dining room, a PDR, and a small but perfectly formed English Sparkling Wine Bar rocking 150 references to the category from around the UK. Slink up here, grab a table by one of the large regency windows and pick something you've never heard of before - chances are it'll be a plonk exclusive to this place.
