The George & Dragon, Stockport

Obviously an old pub with "Brewers Tudor" black and white exterior and low beams throughout the inside rooms. Sadly it's been decorated like the GK chain outlet that it has now become. At least it's not a modern barn, despite the décor. Several areas, all set up for diners, although there was no-one dining at all during my Friday 4 p.m. visit. Lots of TVs around the place, along with a dartboard and a beer garden to the rear. It's obviously not just a dining pub. There were quite a few drinkers in the bar and more in the beer garden. Three handpumps on the bar serving GK IPA, Abbot and Olde Trip which was a well kept pint. Overall it was rather better than I was expecting.
