Offering consistently good pub fare at very reasonable prices, The George Hotel in South Melbourne is an iconic drinking hole for many of the locals.
On Mondays you can get yourself a burger and pot for only $12, Tuesdays offer up a parma and pot for only $15 (plus FREE TRIVIA - how can you go wrong), Wednesdays are $12 steak nights, and on Thursdays $15 will get you a burrito and a pot of cider or beer. It just so happened to be a Tuesday night on our latest visit to The George and, even though our trivia skills were dismal and I'm pretty sure we came last, the staff were terrific and the food was delicious.
Whilst it wasn't on the $15 parma menu, I couldn't go past the Mexican parma topped with bean salsa, cheese and jalapenos (on my request), served with sour cream, guacamole, chips and salad ($22). Being one of my favourite parmas in Melbourne (indeed, it's one of the meals I have cravings for), the chicken is always thick and juicy, the accompaniments are generous (there is nothing worse than a stingy smear of avocado) and the chips are always well seasoned. Unfortunately on this occasion it was a bit cold - but was delicious nonetheless.
If wanting to visit The George Hotel I would highly recommend going on a Tuesday night to take advantage of the free trivia - but book ahead, as the locals definitely head there early.
Food: 3.5/5
Décor: 3.5/5
Staff: 4.5/5
Total: 11.5/15
Verdict: love - get around to trying it soon.
