Lovely relaxed venue conveniently tucked away a short walk from Angel or Kings X. It's somehow both spacious and cosy, with a great array of beers and ales. Communication was good and service on the day was warm, welcoming and professional. The catering was also great for the most part with the pizzas excellent! Thanks very much to Nick and the team.

The hot tap in the men's bathroom! The mozzarella/arancini platters aren't as interesting as the fresh pizza but good for nibbles.

Nick was incredibly accommodating. He helped me get my head around the venue size, understanding when strikes reduced our numbers, and was really friendly when we arrived. There was a great beer selection and lovely pizza.

The disabled bathroom happens to mean going into the ladies currently (which isn't ideal). However, Nick was aware of this and intending to act on it, so not a major issue.

Really responsive communication and lovely to deal with, great venue and excellent staff, would definitely recommend!


Good evening, I'm George, so pleased to meet you.

That’s right, THE George. I know, I know, I am more handsome in person. But enough about me, let’s focus on you. It’s perfectly delightful of you to stop by. As I assume you are here for information let me tell you a few things about my fine hostelry. Located in the neo Georgian splendour of 68 Amwell Street, The George and Monkey offers the discerning a refined watering hole with all the comforts of home. That is, of course, if your home is furnished with an exemplary gin menu, the finest of craft beer, oodles of wine, sun bathed outdoor space, attentive staff, convivial company and a roaring hot pizza oven. Mine is!

Do stop by for a drink or a bite. I’m always at home.

Warmest Regards

George
