George & Dragon: An English Pub

Phoenix’s first English pub lives up to its pedigree: Portraits of Queen Elizabeth, photos of Buckingham Palace, and other UK-related ephemera adorn every nook and cranny. Footy matches air on TVs above the bar surrounded by jerseys and flags of beloved teams. And traditional selections like bangers and mash, pasties, and fish and chips are cranked out by the kitchen. (Come on Sundays for roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.) Moving beyond the British Isles, G&D’s bar has an impresive selection of imported beer on tap, going beyond Guiness to include the likes of Smithwick's and Boddingtons. There’s also trivia on Thursdays hosted by owner (and native Englishman) David Wimberley, who got yelled at by Bar Rescue host Jon Taffer on a 2016 episode of the show. Catch Wimberley haunting the front patio and he’ll tell you the tale himself, likely peppered with enough vulgarities to make the royals blush.
