George & The Dragon

Steak salad. Do it.

Seriously though, I'd love to pick this place up and take it back home with me.

For why?

George & The Dragon boasts many positives: an attentive, professional staff, a friendly owner, killer fare (more on this later!), a laid-back cool vibe (think rustic, minimal, independent art on the walls, lots of light + large windows), and an overall neighborhood feel that seems hard to beat.

Let's talk about food, shall we?

Annie D and I split the banh mi sandwich and the steak salad. Both were very much to our liking, but the steak salad really stole the show. I'm going to have dreams of "The Katherine" - sliced sirloin, Amablu cheese, dried cranberries, field greens, an onion ring, and parmesan dressing. So incredible.

The beer/wine/drink list looked solid, but since it 'twas mid-day and we had lots to do, we abstained from a more spirited adventure.

I'd love to spend more time and money here, but alas, doesn't seem to convenient, now does it?

George and/or the dragons: open a MKE location? Por favor?

This is the best pub in the Twin Cities, based on my own random sampling. Not only that, but the outstanding combination of on tap beers and excellent food on the menu make for either a great meal or a good night on the bar stool.  

Moreover, service is consistently friendly, kids are welcome, and the place itself is beautiful.  Well worth the trip.

English pub type of fare.  Good selection of beer on tap and in bottles.  We started with the sausage rolls, not what I was expecting.  They were good, but would maybe try something different next time.  Then we had the beef rib & the fish and chips, both were delicious.  Cream Brule for dessert---AWESOME!
