<![CDATA[Greater London - Bromley - Beckenham - Eating, Drinking and Nightlife - Pubs - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en A pub pub http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/bromley/beckenham/pubs/george-inn-br31ag.html#r19816 Well what can I say, it’s an old mans pub. The drink and food is reasonably priced and the service is good. The atmosphere is relaxed and it is much much older than all other pubs in Becks. There is a garden which is lovely in summer especially for an early evening/lunchtime. I do like this pub as it is exactly what it should be…a pub pub!

It is a typical Irish bar, full of drunken silliness! It is good for watching sport, is busy in the week… so if you are out on a Monday night and looking for somewhere to go then go to Patrick’s! I have been many times on the weekend and had a good time. If you don’t like packed bars then don’t come here as it can get rammed. Good fun though!

I think it's the base for the Beckenham rugby club.

Loud party music on the weekend, it's great for people watching. Full of girls who are perhaps a bit old to go to the Bridge bar over the road, but who still want to have a good time if you get my drift!

They've just had a bit of a re-fit but it's hard to see what's changed.

Just like any other Goose around the country, only really good if you're a few days away from pay day and broke

Gets busy on the weekends as people start here and then move up to Bridge Bar at 10ish

I seem to remember it closes quite early on a weekend though

There's a good garden too right on the High Street.

Not really the sort of place I'd want to eat, but a good antidote to the other swanky-ish bars in Beckenham

If I was to buy a flat directly above a pub which had signs all over it saying LIVE MUSIC ON A THURSDAY, I wouldn't be surprised to hear live music on a Thursday.

Still it's nice enough. They play a lot of the sports although annoyingly won't put the commentary on a lot of the time. And karioke on a Thursday's worth a laugh!
