Lonely Planet review

Once a scuzzy local pub, the George (as ye shall dub it if you value your Shoreditch High St cred) was taken over and decorated with the owner's grandma's antiques and has since been the epicentre of the Hoxton scene for a decade. Some of the best DJ nights in London are on offer here, with cabaret performances taking place on window sills (Sunday cabaret is trés popular). It's total fun and mindless hedonism. Not a place for a quiet pint.

It's one of the most exciting places to go out, though prepare to be sandwiched between jolly, dancing boys and girls when it gets busy.
