About George Hotel
George Hotel is a pub and British restaurant on St John's St in Keswick, housed in a coaching inn that dates to the 17th century. Breakfast is free, and the restaurant sits below the hotel rooms. The kitchen serves pub grub, including skin-on chips, and the menu carries vegetarian options. The bar is busy and has a darts setup with a board, ring light and oche mat. Dogs are welcome. The old building has few straight walls or floors. There is no car parking apart from a drop-off area at the rear, and car parks are nearby.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the friendly, helpful staff, alongside pub grub described as tasty, reasonably priced and great value. One diner singles out skin-on chips and a good range of vegetarian options after a day of fell walking. The old building's uneven walls and floors add character. One darts player found the setup excellent but felt unwelcome on a recent visit.

“The George Hotel has an excellent setup for playing darts, decent board, ring light, and oche mat. On previous visits to Keswick I've enjoyed playing here with friends without any issues, so it was a real shame that on this occasion we were made to feel unwelcome. Hopefully just an off day, as it's normally a great spot for a game.”
