What a cracking town pub this is. Since Steve and his team took over just under a year ago joined with an extensive refurb the place has just gone from strength to strength. Whether it’s live sport, karaoke, live music, disco night or just a quiet family drink there’s rarely a week that passes where the George fails to deliver. To top it off it’s probably the cheapest bar in town too. Keep up the good work a credit to the Kendal pub scene.

Nice pub. Friendly staff and decent prices. Seem to show a lot of sports albeit it was Cheltenham week so on major channel.

What a disaster… Although the drinks here are cheap, the customer service is the worst I have ever seen in a restaurant or pub. It feels like a personal attack to ask for something, one of the staff who all wear non uniform so hard to tell if they actually work there or not, came over 3 times to moan about something different if it’s a coaster, question what was in a drink (which she sold us) or just give us grief. The boy on the pool table with glasses claimed the pub was his and was very touchy and over sexual with a few female members of our group. Shortly after this we left as he made us very uncomfortable and you CANNOT get a pool game in peace here without one of the owners wanting a go. You are all so rude and it’s the word around the area so some friendly advice would be change it up and whack on a big smile.

Fantastic welcome and great service from Melissa, genuine old fashioned Kendal atmosphere. Pool and darts to play with sports on the TV. Very accommodating!

Unbelievably cheap and cheerful with friendly staff. Food (apart from snacks) isn't served but if you just want a drink in a friendly atmosphere in the centre of Kendal you simply can't beat the George & Dragon.

Went in on a Sunday night with two friends and as soon as we walked in we knew we’d made a mistake! The woman behind the bar was so unfriendly and made us feel like we were an inconvenience just for wanting to order a drink! After we got our drinks we went off to sit down whilst the unfriendly woman started shouting at a man by the bar! We quickly finished our drinks and left! Back in the day this used to be such a great pub and was always busy. We won’t be visiting again though. Don’t like to feel intimidated on a night out!

Visited here when me and my husband came to Kendall for a valentines break . The derby fell on the day of arrival so we went looking for a pub to watch it as the hotel didn’t have it on. As soon as we walked in the barmaid was so welcoming and lovely. We ordered r drinks and watched the match , half way through ordered next round of drinks and the barmaid remembered r drinks and no ice In mine . So friendly and welcoming ! Cheap for drinks and enjoyed r little visit here ! If your coming to Kendal and want a friendly atmosphere pub defo try here .

Went here for my daughters hen party about 7.30pm on Saturday evening , got drinks & were just sitting chatting when one of our party asked the barman to turn the music up which he did, then the manager came down & turned it down, when we asked why he said his partner was asleep upstairs? He was extremely rude to us shouting & swearing . We said we were leaving but a couple of the women hadn't finished their drinks so took them outside, he then came out & accused them of stealing his glasses! Customer service? I dont think so, used to go in this pub a lot in years gone by, will never go in again

Hi, I hate doing this kind of thing I came in Saturday evening ordered fish and chips waited 20 minutes which I don’t mind. Got back home. Chips were disgusting and the fish. I don’t even wanna talk about it. I don’t know if it was frozen. The batter was awful. I will not be going again and the only reason I went is because it just reopened so I wanted to try it but if anyone wants fish and chips, please avoid this place. Go somewhere else Because I threw mine in the bin. What a waste of money never again.

Casual eatery with indoor and outdoor seating. One of us had a streak and ale pie with mushy peas and chips which was excellent. Two of us shared the incredible pork knuckle which came with perfect sides that all worked nicely together.

When I booked I wrote in advance to ask for a vegan breakfast, and I specified if we could have milk, yogurt and cereals. We also phone and asked again for this at the phone. When we arrived, the kitchen didn't even know about our request. At the desk, they told us they provide vegan sausages as a vegan options. No one ever told us that before, otherwise we wouldn't have paid for the breakfast. Apart from the fact that eating sausages every day for breakfast is very unhealthy, they could have told us they couldn't provide what I ask, and we would have had breakfast outside.
