The George Tavern, Oldham

2 unused handpumps on the bar. A large pub that isn't too bad despite no real ale. Slightly ruined on this afternoon visit by some awful AOR rubbish being played on the jukie. Supertramp? Dear me. Ah well never mind.

This pub was reported as now stocking real ale in the local CAMRA magazine, so I decided to give it a try. The "A" board outside also promised real ales. Both were lying. There are 2 handpumps, one with a reversed pump clip for Doom Bar. I asked the barman when it was due back on, he shrugged and said he didn't know. I had a half of something fizzy. It's a split level pub with a pool table and quiz machine on the lower level. The upper area seems to be set up for dining with the middle bit being used for drinkers. It's a neat looking pub, shame about the lack of real ale. The pub would have been a 6 but the lying on the "A" board loses it points. Walked past a week later on our way to the beer festival. Pump clip still turned round. I don't think they sell ale no matter what the local branch think.

nice pub but has funny smell when you walk in pub smell of either cats or dogs could do with good clean beer ok bit expensive tho

The best juke box in town
