The gentrification of Dalston means that the Prince George is now less of an old man's backstreet local and more of a skinny-jeans-and-ironic-haircut establishment filled with arty hipster types who can't afford a wash but can afford to spend a fiver on a pint of lager. It's unfair to simply flag up the change in dynamic at the Prince George, for it remains one of the best boozers in the area - even if it gets so busy on the weekends that a bouncer needs to control the comings and goings on the door. The décor is fun - yellow walls, creaky wooden floor, old stools and benches, world maps and framed vintage posters, stuffed animals in glass cases and a functioning jukebox - and the choice of ales and beers on tap is commendable (Seafarer, Pride, George Gale HSB, Leffe, Hoegaarden...). There's a small drinking area out the front with eight tables and some benches, with overhead heaters. The place has recently started serving food too, with the Sunday roasts receiving glowing references. And now the third in line to the throne is a certain Prince George you can expect this Dalston pub to get popular with the tourists.
