A large hotel in the centre of town. The 1597 Bar is at the front of the George Hotel on Devonshire Street and has the appearance of a separate and very modern microbar. It has up to four beers on handpump. 1597 refers to the year when the hotel was established. Can be accessed through entrance next to the main Hotel Entrance or from the car park behind the hotel (entry off Burrowgate, just past The Pinny). The car park also has a small area of tables and seats for al fresco drinking.
