Hitchin's Best kept Secret

Step Into Your New Favourite Hideaway

Tired of screaming over the music just to be heard? We get it!

At Bogart's Chill Out Lounge, we believe in the art of conversation. It’s good to chill, and we’ve created the perfect intimate space to ensure you will.

Tucked away in a beautifully restored 17th-century hayloft at The George, our private members club is Hitchin's ultimate destination for relaxed, funky vibes. Whether you're catching up with old friends or making new ones, our curated international background music sets the perfect, laid-back tone for laughs, great conversation, and unforgettable good times.

The Vibe

Trendsetting Sips & Unique Spirits

We don't just follow the trends - we set them. Bogart's is proud to pour unique, premium spirits that you simply will not find anywhere else in town.

When you drink with us, you're experiencing Hitchin bar history.

We are proud to be:

The Pioneers of Japanese Whiskey:

The very first bar to introduce the smooth, complex notes of Japanese whiskey to the Hitchin scene.

The only place in town where you can enjoy crisp, refreshing Finnish Lonkero straight from the tap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you open on bank holidays?

We extend our hours over bank holidays unless specified otherwise.

Have you got a function room I can book for my private party/event?

Yes! Our 16th Century hayloft serves as a function room and is available for private hire Tuesday - Sunday 12pm - 12am. It's free with a minimum bar spend! Go to https://thegeorgepub.com/function-room-hitchin for more information and to book.

Do you have step-free access?

Unfortunately, as we are a grade 2* listed building, we are prohibited from altering the structure to create a disabled access.

Are kids allowed in?

Kids are welcome during the day, but as per our license under 18's must vacate the premises by 8pm.

Are dogs allowed in?

We are a dog-friendly pub. We love our four-legged friends! But don't take our word for it... If you have a look at our Google Reviews, you'll see that dogs are very welcome downstairs at The George. However, please note that for the comfort of patrons & pooches alike, dogs are not allowed on Friday and Saturday nights after 9 PM or on bank holidays. This is because it gets too crowded for the dogs to enjoy their visit.
