George, Petersfieldback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Seems a lot cleaner recently, staff are friendlier too. New evening menu of English Tapas is tickling my taste buds, particularly the potted crab! Real ales are now local-ish, Harveys Best, Bowman Swift One and Triple fff Stairway. Could do with a re-paint in places. Still the place in Petersfield.

Bit of an odd place. Come here pre-7pm and it's full of the blue rinse brigade. They then terrify them by playing heavy metal over the stereo and it turns into a trendy bar! Can get really busy but the back area is nice to sit around in good weather. Bar staff are generally friendly apart from one div.

Firstly...a fine selection of ales! This is indeed a step forward and long may it last!! I visited The George on a Friday night and the place was full and buzzing! The music selection was excellent and got better as the night went on.
Due to the fact that there are bouncers at the weekend the "buzz" was created by people of the right age which is a refreshing change to the many other sub-standard pubs in the area who simply serve alcohol to anyone.
I have also eaten at The George a couple of times and always found the food to be tasty and well priced.
I Will be going back soon!!

Used to go to this pub a couple of years ago on a fairly regular Sunday brunch basis. Concur with comments re beers, generally interesting selection but I think the place has gone downhill a little. Despite banners plastered all over the place advertising waitress service till 3pm, that, as I found out wasn't the case and when food came it was mediocre and not really worth the money. Tables were dirty and the back courtyard garden populated with braying hooray henriettas. Won't be going back for a while.

I meant 'beers', obviously...

Really rather snazzy - more a bistro/ bar than a pub, but roomy and comfortable enough to just enjoy a few beees. A handful of excellent ales (Deuchars, Hopback Summer Lightning and Sharp's Doombar when we were in), a terrific range of wines by the glass or bottle and a nice selection of brasserie-style food. The 'Burger Kitchen' looks good too, if you have a substantial gap to fill, as does Sunday brunch. Acoustic music on Friday evenings, something a bit louder on Sundays really looks like a very good place. Sofas and easy chairs around the bar at the front, tables and chairs at the back and an outdoor courtyard too. Best place for a drink and a bite in the centre of Petersfield, certainly, and really making an effort. Excellent.

My girlfriend and I came here Saturday night (11 Nov) for a few drinks given our local H-File. The place had a Slug and Lettuce feel to it in terms of d�cor and we were served at the bar promptly, with a Magners and a blue WKD coming to �5.90. The Magners, however, came in a 330 ml bottle as opposed to a 568 ml one, which was the first time I had seen this.
I liked the mixture of music they were playing here, which did not include funky house or chart cheese, while there was a relaxed atmosphere until a fight broke out. The bouncers eventually took care of the situation, even if their approach was initially a bit lackadaisical.
I liked the idea of coat pegs in the place as well as the seating area towards the back of the place near the toilets. It was mainly full of blokes, with a few women about. Overall, a decent boozer to visit on a Saturday night, before moving onto the Vertigo nightclub. Also, given how fairly cold it was this Saturday night, it is worth noting that this is the closest pub to the nightclub as well!

A bar that sells a selection of real ales. This is what progress is about! (Though admittedly some of the lagers are equally tempting) Bring a newspaper if you want to something to read though, or you'll end up scouring through the Sunday Times or Daily Mail

The pub looks different on the inside than i expected it would. A modern feel to the place, drinks are of decent quality. The T.E.A seems to be good here
