🚇 Bethnal Green
🍺 £5.60 Amstel
❤️ A versatile Bethnal Green boozer.
.
The Old George is located amongst the hustle and bustle on Bethnal Green Road. The nearest tube is Bethnal Green which is only a five minute walk away.
.
This pub is believed to have been present by 1703 and by the mid-nineteenth century was trading as the George IV. It was rebuilt in its present form in 1880.
.
The decor here is rustic with exposed brickwork walls and a dark wood floor running throughout. There is plenty of low level seating and banquette sofas around the perimeter walls. Down the right hand side is a good size servery with barrels above advertising upcoming events. If you like your live sport you’re in luck, there are large screens showing Premier League, Six nations and the like. Even though this isn’t a riverside pub there is a slight nautical feel to the place. A big bonus here is the large beer garden at the rear which gets very busy in the warmer months.
.
The beer line up was decent and included craft and cask options. Being the boring fart that I am I chose a pint of Amstel, my pint was very agreeable and under six quid. There is a good selection of comfort food on the food menu, burgers and pizzas are the order of the day, the food did smell good.
.
The atmosphere was relaxed on this Saturday afternoon with a dozen or so punters in for the footy. There were a few tables with reserved signs on which I’m not a fan of, some pubs seem to operate this way to guarantee business, so I can see why. The crowd was mix of all ages until about twenty young lads walked in which lowered the aggregate some what. This pub livens up in the evenings and has DJ and Karaoke nights throughout the month.
.
I last visited @theoldgeorgebg back in 2017 and not a lot has changed. My review was positive then and I can report that my review is positive now. There is plenty to enjoy at this boozer, get this one on the list.

The Karaage Kid chicken burger was amazing. It's crispy chicken with coleslaw and a little bit of spice. Five stars for that. The fries are like twigs though, those need an upgrade. I came here to watch a football game and I'm glad I did - there are loads of screens and lots of seating. Good beer selection too. Will definitely be back.
This is a very decent pub with a good sized beer garden, with a great choice of food and drink.
Let me not forget the great service received whilst we dined!!!
Great little spot with cool decor and has a spacious beer garden, staff were friendly and the food was good 👍🏻 always pop in when I’m in the area 🍻
Charming traditional London Pub. We didn't eat there, however they had a good collection of craft beers I couldn't resist London Pride which was in perfect condition. The barman knew all about how to cellar.real ales and it showed in the product
Nice place and lovely staff!

Great place to go specially with this hot weather! Big and beautiful garden, good selection of cold craft beers! Lovely and helpful staff. Will be back for sure.
Good pub with pints from £4.80 which is an acceptable price for London.
Also has an extensive food menu with decent looking food.
Atmosphere was great when we watched the Liverpool v Man City game in here.
Very cool interior and a good selection of beers. Had halloumi fries for a snack - very fast service and delicious. Will definitely come back because they had a cat at the bar. The cat is chill and let's you pet it.
Decent local boozer, showing live sport. Prices are average for the area but the actual place itself is nicer than many around.
Absolutely love this place, gorgeous garden amazing service and delicious food! 10/10 recommend
Great pub, great selection of beers and great staff, particularly Hayley who gave us some great recommendations!
