The George, Sittingbourne

A sign in the door of the George and Dragon warns of strobe lighting, but thankfully the bulbs weren’t flashing during my recent Monday evening visit. There was some nineties dance music playing which the handful of boisterous locals at the bar seemed to enjoy. I spotted a dartboard in the right hand side of the pub and over to the left are a DJ booth with massive speakers and a real fire. Access is gained up some steps to another room behind the bar where there is a second dartboard and the toilets. I spotted a plasma screen that was switched off and I didn’t notice any advertisements for sports coverage. There is no real ale here so I had to make do with a generic lager that was poured by the polite enough barmaid. This is a rough and ready boozer that won’t suit everybody’s tastes, mine included. I do not envisage a return visit anytime soon.
