The George & Dragon Pub, Seattle
By Dan Larsen, for SeattleInsider.com
Originally published by Cox Interactive Media

Suitably dingy and unsophisticated, the George & Dragon is one of the best representations of a bonafide English pub Seattle has to offer. Less interested with the tourist kitsch that gives downtown's Elephant & Castle its somewhat strained discomort, the George & Dragon instead occupies itself with pulling a good pint, watching the soccer (remember, though, it's football in there) and trading banter with the locals.

The decor is authentic (complete with that classically British musty pub odor), the food faithful (homestyle favorites like shepard's pie and pot roast are served Monday through Saturday) and the pints -- including Guinness, naturally -- no-nonsense. A rubgy or soccer match will usually be on in the background (or in the foreground depending on the time of year), as well as classic pub fare like dart boards.

A genuine experience -- and you can take that as gospel from this British ex-pat.
