A pub I've spent many, many hours in - but only a very few in its current incarnation, at a work party of some description that I now can't remember.
However, as The Dragon I spent probably every second weekend here for the guts of two years. And I can't remember much of those, either; but for very different reasons...
Slotting in to a place in the market for gay bars that possibly doesn't really exist anymore, the crowd here was younger than most places but also not targeting students - except on the specific student nights.
A former bank, this was converted to to a pub in ~2000 - initially SoSuMe, which was fire damaged in 2005; then The Dragon, and briefly a bonkers "Scandinavian Asian" bar called Soder+Ko before its latest conversion to NoLIta.
What was a very interesting premises got replaced by a generic cocktails-and-pizza place; which might do better for its owners - and certainly eliminated the internal competition with The George under the same ownership - but just isn't of interest for me to go back.
