Hamilton's Oldest Public House
& Brewery
About us...
The Owners:
Mike Peters and Dean Pearson (me) -- two Hamilton-born entrepreneurs with strong ties to the city and its people. Mike owned The Pour House restaurant & bar. I own New2You Buy&Sell. My dad worked at City Hall for more than 20 years. Mike once ran for mayor. We've both been Ti-Cat season ticket holders. We both went to school on the mountain (Mike went to Barton; I went... well, a lot of different places). We both love this town and we love food. We see The George Hamilton as a chance to combine the two.
The Place:
Our 160 year old building stands at the corner of King & Bay, on land deeded by Sir Allan MacNab. We have a private dining area, a second bar, a lounge, a street-side patio, and a rooftop patio.
Scenes of old Hamilton adorn the tabletops and large murals of Hamilton's skyline and and waterfalls fill the walls.
You can take a date here. Or the gang from the office. Or the family. My kids eat here all the time; so do Mike's.
You can do lunch with us. Or dinner. Or drinks.
You won't feel out of place in jeans. Or in a suit.
We have smiling faces out front and trained chefs in back. (Don't worry, the chefs are smiling too.)
The Food:
No franchise, corporate, heat-and-serve, boil-in-bag, pre-packaged, pre-made nonsense.
We make real food for real Hamiltonians -- at a price real Hamiltonians can afford.
