George Eliot Hotel, Nuneatonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I have to say that I am extremely surprised by some of the negative reviews of this place, I was in Nuneaton for the first time yesterday and happily whiled away a few hours in this terrific pub. It is a lovely spacious pub with lots of standing room and ample seating including some very nice semi-circular leather bench style seats ideal for small groups. The prices were very reasonable and there was a decent range of drinks (that said as mentioned previously just the two real ales, but a slightly less predictable selection this time including Pere Ubu) and the service was very friendly with no real waiting time to speak of.
This is an excellent venue for watching sports with numerous screens positioned so that you can watch a game from pretty much any nook or cranny in the building, they also were showing more than one game at a time so all supporters were kept happy.
All in all a very decent effort, shame the weather wasn't quite good enough to brave the small first floor level beer garden (more of a patio). If the good burghers of Nuneaton don't appreciate this pub, I can only assume there must be some absolutely fantastic boozers nearby which makes a return an appealing prospect. To these jaded old eyes that have been in many pubs in many town and cities around this country and overseas though, this one will do nicely.

There's probably quite nice old building hiding behind all the tat, but going in on a Friday evening (when it's part-disco with bouncers on the door) meant I probably didn't see it in its best light. Given its clientele, I was surprised to find two handpumps - Tetleys cask (OK-ish) and Spitfire. Moved on quickly.

Two real ales on tap - if you count Bass and Tetley. Bar staff friendly but customers rather odd. Wetherspoons sadly is the best pub in town in my humble opinion.

I hate the George because the music is shite and there is a crap atmosphere.

Has always been a nice pub, centally located in the main shopping area. It used to be a hotel, hence the name, I'm not sure if there are still rooms there, because the place was converted and refurbished, the main bar is large and spacious with seating at the front, the is L-shaped with a sprial stair going upstair at the turning point of the "L" upstairs has a balcony looking over the main bar below, there are two smaller bars and toilets upstairs. This pub has got quiz machines and fruit machines, there is also a small outside drinking area.
