Real ale at the Prince George

Critic Rating
Reader Rating 0

We often feel that some of the pubs in the Remarkable Restaurants group go a little overboard on the decor and food front, but the Prince George, thankfully, focuses very firmly on the basics.

The main bar leads away to darkened alcoves with some of the 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. It's definitely worth a visit.

NEAREST STATION: Hackney Downs station
FEATURES: DJ, outdoor seating, pool table, quiz night Monday
