The George is an important part of the Oldham town centre pub and bar economy. It is well known as an entertainment centre and plays a key part in the LGBT community, plus it plays host to a number of sports teams. The pub is in good condition, it is mainly wet-driven but has a catering kitchen which could be utilised to build a consistent food trade. The current drinks offer includes standard and premium lagers along with an excellent strong spirit and wine offer. There are three televisions located around the pub which can show live sporting events. The George is popular with teams and entertainment and as such has pool on a Tuesday, poker on a Thursday, karaoke on Friday night, and live acts on a Saturday evening.
The George is an important part of Oldham’s nighttime economy as it is part of the main drinking circuit. It is close to the main shopping area and is well known as a ‘great night out’ venue with entertainment being key to this popular pub. Oldham and Stockport will form part of the focus on Greater Manchester’s night-time economy initiative. The George is well-known in the LGBT community and the current operator is the chair of Oldham Pride. The landlords need operators who will take what is a great town centre pub and by promotion and planning build it into a fantastic venue. Ideally, the proposed operators will know the pub and the area and will have a proper interest and feel for running this style of business. They must also have great standards and be prepared to work hard and join in.
