About George & Dragon

The George & Dragon is a south-east London LGBTQ+ pub and cabaret venue on Blackheath Hill, between Greenwich, Lewisham and Deptford. It fills an important local role for anyone who wants a gay night out without travelling into Soho or Vauxhall. Entertainment has traditionally centred on drag, cabaret, karaoke, DJs and community nights, with a pub atmosphere earlier and a later party feel when shows are scheduled. The crowd tends to mix regulars from across south-east London with visitors making a night of the cabaret. The programme, opening pattern and online information have changed over time, so this is a venue to check before travelling. Confirm the current event, door time and transport home—particularly for late finishes—rather than relying on historic listings.

What to expect

Expect a local, characterful gay pub that becomes livelier around drag and cabaret. The experience depends heavily on the scheduled event.

Lovely venue, great cabaret act and a very welcoming atmosphere. Bar staff polite and helpful and the new manager is very welcoming. Definitely coming here again.

A place with great atmosphere and I’ve been going here many years since the Duchess took on this place. It’s friendly, fun, local and open late plus drag with attitude.too! Paul’s put a huge amount of effort in here over the years while all around we see gay venues vanishing from the scene. Love the place . .

We came here as lgbt, none locals, after attending from an event nearby. Seeing as there was potential drag and lgbt acts prime time on a Saturday we were excited to finish our night here or even to have a little dance. We were highly dissapointed. There was no drag act, the place was dead at midnight, the guiness wasn't good. For a Saturday night it was a poor showing. Which was fine but the music was so poor it just killed the vibe. The dance floor was dead, some 80s oor fillers would make every difference. Some stuff i have never even heard of or really backdated, none popular stuff. We sent the drinks back they were so bad, apparently the 'end of the barrel'.Everyone looked depressed . We had one drink and left. Really wished we had picked the other lgbt option in the area. The place needs a little love and attention.
