Will Larter left this review about The George Inn
A fairly scruffy hotel next to the abbey, and pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon. A couple of beers on hand pumps, Landlord and Ghost Ship. My half of the latter cost £3, which may hint at why it's so quiet here, but at least it was in very good condition. Highlights include some framed British Rail posters advertising Selby Abbey and the Flying Scotsman, erm that's it really.

Posh looking place next to the minster, the inside is a typical modern tosh hotel with a lighter grey paint job and down market punters and staff. Four pulls of indifferent beers including some house labelled stuff from God knows where. There's a formal restaurant at the back as you probably guessed. The inside has a rather down-market ambience, with music and screens and machines. Booth seating opposite the counter, some with their own screen showing sports, there's also bloody constant music. God preserve us!

The George is an imposing former coaching inn in the middle of Selby and next to the Abbey. You can only wonder what this building must have been like in it's heyday.
Certainly there are few original features left inside, the odd fireplace and piece of coping but this has been thoroughly modernised and turned into something of a characterless open plan drinking barn. As mentioned below one of the most dominant features is the number of screens dotted everywhere and all showing different channels.
A squint at the menu revealed standard pub grub no doubt purveyed by van, warmed and sold very cheap.
Beers on were Great Newsome Frothingham Best, The George, Black Sheep and TT Landlord. The George is a house beer but the surly barmaid didn't know who brewed it. The Landlord though was very good and went down well.
I'd certainly return for the Landlord and a subsequent visit to the 'spoons made this place seem classy and cosy by comparison.
