The George
About
The George has been pouring on East Meadow Drive since 1996, at 292 East Meadow Drive in the Vail's Mountain Haus building. It is restaurant, lounge and bar in one room, with pool tables and foosball, and it bills itself as the locals' local bar.
It does not take reservations, and it opens at 5 p.m., so it is an evening place rather than an after-lift après stop. It suits groups who would rather show up than plan, anyone after a good-value meal in Vail Village, and families early in the evening, with a kids' menu.
What to order
The menu is pub food with a few long-running signatures. The duck and mushroom quesadilla is the one the pub says locals come back for; the Shroomin' Sirloin and filet mignon arrive with mashed potatoes, vegetables and gravy, and the Plum Duck pairs crispy confit duck legs with spring rolls and plum sauce. Fish and chips, Phillys, tacos and a half-pound King George burger fill out the pub side.
Happy hour
Happy hour runs for three hours from opening every night, with set prices on well drinks, martinis, starters, pub grub and entrées. The FAQ has the prices.
Getting a table
Seating is first come, first served. The kitchen closes at 9:30 p.m., and the bar stays open until close. Arrive early on busy winter nights.
Inside Vail's Mountain Haus
The George sits in the Vail's Mountain Haus building, and the hotel lists the pub among its amenities, so guests can eat without leaving the building.
