The George & Dragon

Good atmosphere on the south east London, first time but I felt like been always there

She could sing and again we were enjoying the atmosphere of the place and the people in it- but then the comedy section of her act came and she was just really racist. First she made jokes about the black bouncers and black children, then one about an Indian lesbian who was suicidal because her family was conservative - none of which was sympathetic or particularly challenging, just about donating “two pounds a month to little black kids” and not “being racist”. As an interracial couple we were very uncomfortable and left immediately, as did two other people of colour. Genuinely sad to see this at what we hoped would be our local gay pub. We go to gay pubs to feel welcome and this was exactly what we were hoping to avoid.

Always used to go central London until I found this hidden gem. Staff are amazing and always ensure you have a good night...no long wants for drinks no matter how busy it is. Excellent venue and always a good night would highly recommend The George & Dragon.
