The George and Dragon is a historic, family-run period pub at 85 Castle Street, Salisbury (SP1 3SP), sitting beside the River Avon with a riverside garden in the heart of the city. It's a lively spot serving beers, cocktails and hearty pub food, with weekly live music as the centrepiece: a Sunday open-mic night hosted by Lucas Hardy, where you sign up from 7pm and music kicks off at 7:30pm with each performer getting roughly three songs. Reviewers single out the welcoming atmosphere, the live music and even D&D sessions. It's an intimate room (around 70 capacity) running an in-house PA, welcoming both originals and covers across acoustic, folk and open-mic styles.
