George & Dragon, Belper

Real Ale Ray left this review about George & Dragon

This pub was very busy with locals on our early Saturday afternoon visit This is a traditional style pub with some low ceiling beams, an open fireplace, a flagstone floor near the entrance. The main features in here was the snug area on the left of the entrance and a large wall mounted Guinness sign was positioned at the far end of the bar. Further along the wall, hangs a large mirror, which covers a wall hatch, which is used for beer on stillage at beer festivals. Six ales on handpump on our visit, Rufford Abbey General Jack, Bass, GK Abbott, Hairy Brewers Blonde Bombshell, Shiny Disco Balls and Falstaff North Mill. I went for the Blonde Bombshell which was in good shape. Getting out of the pub was a bit of a puzzle if your not a regular as there is a locking key plate on the hinge side, so you try to push the door open on the wrong side. The bar staff watch you trying to work it out.
