Phoenix Pub: The Ultimate World Cup Soccer Haven!
11 Jun
Summary
- George & Dragon is the longest-running English pub in Phoenix.
- The pub opens early for early morning World Cup matches.
- Fans can enjoy traditional English food and a wide drink selection.
The World Cup is set to kick off on June 11, and George & Dragon in Phoenix is poised to be the premier destination for fans seeking an authentic viewing experience. As the longest-running English pub in the metro Phoenix area, established in 1995 by David Wimberly and his mother Anne, it provides a unique atmosphere for soccer enthusiasts.
Wimberly describes watching the World Cup at George & Dragon as akin to experiencing the World Series compared to a regular season game, highlighting the unparalleled excitement. He anticipates that highly anticipated matches, particularly those featuring USA, Mexico, England, and Scotland, will draw significant crowds, potentially leading to standing-room-only conditions.
The pub offers a comprehensive menu featuring classic English dishes such as fish and chips, pasties, and bangers and mash, alongside an extensive selection of draft beers, ciders, cocktails, wines, and spirits. George & Dragon typically opens at 11 a.m. daily but will open earlier for World Cup games starting before then. Visitors are advised to arrive one to two hours before game time.
