The George Tavern is a historic Grade II listed pub and independent music venue in Stepney.

The night features approximately 17 acts performing 12-minute slots in front of an attentive local crowd. A professional sound engineer is on hand, and a full backline including a drum kit and amplifiers is provided for solo artists and full bands.
