“Mr. Pickwick and Sam took up their present abode in very good, old-fashioned, and comfortable quarters, to wit, the George and Vulture Tavern and Hotel, George Yard, Lombard Street. Mr. Pickwick had dined, finished his second pint of particular port, pulled his silk handkerchief over his head, put his feet on the fender, and thrown himself back in an easy-chair, when the entrance of Mr. Weller with his carpet-bag, aroused him from his tranquil meditation.” Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836
The George & Vulture is a City institution. This is a Chop House restaurant famous for the best chops and steaks. It is also open for drinks and cold platters in the evening.
We now have a bar that serves drink (draught beer, spirits etc, cocktails coming) can be drunk inside after 5pm and outside in the adjacent court yard anytime.
