George Hotel, Reading

This is a large hotel building in the centre of town at a busy road junction. The public area at the front is known as The Village Bar. It is unusual in so far that although the building itself is fairly old, with beamed ceilings and so on, the bar area has been done out in a bland modern style. The room is fairly small and rectangular, the light wood bar is straight ahead on entering. The floor is sanded boards, walls are brown and beige and there are high tables with stools and unbacked tall pouffe type things. Two recessed fake log fires each end. The TV had the rugby on. Two boards outside indicate the business is up for sale/lease, so hoping it will continue naturally, but the decor and ambience were not to my taste. Two pumps, Pride and Doom Bar; the Pride was ok, if a little cold.
