picture of Prince George
We feel that some of the pubs in the Remarkable Restaurants group go a little overboard on the décor and food front, but the Prince George, thankfully, focuses firmly on the basics. The main bar leads away to darkened alcoves with some original furnishings still intact. The whole prospect is ideal for ale-fuelled conversation and if a modicum of exertion is needed, a neatly tucked away pool table is on hand. Food only appears to be a going concern on a Sunday, but the rest of the week you're left with the usual Remarkable Restaurants mix of Belgian beers, Czech lagers and traditional ales to work your way through - hardly a chore. Add on one of this chain's archetypal excellent jukeboxes and a quiz on a Monday night and it's no wonder such a wide cross section of locals stop by.

second opinion:

Went here on Saturday night after having a meal with some mates. Not sure if it was just because it was a busy Saturday night but the staff really didn’t make us feel welcome. Bar staff were slow and unapologetic when getting our order wrong and the bouncer was a moody misery guts. This place has a reputation for being one of the cool hotspots in Dalston, I can’t really see why. There were some interesting beers available but the squeezed bar and unfriendly atmosphere put me off I’m afraid. If you have had a different experience let me know.
only one comment, so far on this pub - why not add your own?
