Closed. The building it is in will be demolished soon for a new development of unaffordable flats.

The George And Dragon, Fitzrovia

It has just reopened as a craft beer bar.
I didn't like the choice of beers available at my local on Monday night so decided to try it out. I arrived just after 22.40 and was told by the owner? that it was closed "it has been quiet and we have to keep the staff costs down". If that is a concern, maybe he should just have one staff member working or even run it himself for the last hour or so.
He was apologetic and even offered a free pint on my next visit. But there won't be a next visit. I go out for a drink at 22.30 and don't want to walk all the way there to find he has closed early.
Final comment, if you say you will be open until 23.00, make sure that you are. There isn't a lot of trade around early in the week so you have to make the effort to attract it.
