Absolutely love Bar George!! Neat, retro decor with an open kitchen concept accompanied by fantastic cocktails. Highly recommend the Spanish Fly or their house dirty martini! Haven't tried all of the food options yet but so far the oysters and salads have been fantastic.

I love how good this bar is without taking itself too seriously. Their menu is affordable and includes hotdogs and donuts but they are still so good and are accompanied by some of the most unique cocktails I’ve had in a long time.

High quality and innovative menu. Unmatched vibe. Swanky bar. Everything was delicious!

James island stalwart. Bar George is in the middle of a bustling restaurant row surrounding the terrace movie theater. Grabbed a couch in the cozy corner of this clubby comfortable space. The tail end of happy hour, and had some great five dollar IPAs. the star of the show was a Peruvian half chicken with smoky spices, some kind of dip and lime. It was a unique offering that I thoroughly enjoyed. Even though busy my server was a ton of an excellent.

I love this place! It’s a regular stop after the Pourhouse. Usually I order a house/well bourbon on the rocks and pay cash. It’s always been $8. Tonight I gave them a $20 bill and got $7 back. I was gentle and kind (I think the bartenders would agree) and said I think y’all forgot a $5 bill.They showed me their little hand held pay system and I was clearly able to see there’s a $3 up charge for getting ice with your house bourbon.I hope I am not being rude, but that seemssilly to me. Maybe I need to be thanking my previous bartenders here for not charging me $3 for ice. I hope I’m not throwing them under the bus. However this ice up charge that’s a bit extreme seems silly to me.The reason I’m writing this review is there obviously seems to be a discrepancy. I still love this place and think it’s fantastic. I just want to communicate so y’all can figure this out.Thanks for the many nights of amazing service and great vibes! I’ll be back.

I love the chill, casual vibe of this spot. My buddy has worked here for a while, but I never had a chance to visit until now. Of course, I had the Peruvian chicken and it was delicious. The accompaniments are great, and it's almost like a tapas style menu since most items are fairly inexpensive, thus the smaller portions. I also had the kraut dog which was better than I expected. The doughnuts are very obviously fresh made and crafted to order, which is a nice touch. Not hit-you-over-the-head sweet, but flavorful. We sat at the bar and the service was attentive, consider how full the restaurant was.

Bar George has consistently been an establishment on James island that delivers cocktail appeal of downtown but on the island. Topper is the kind of bartender I wish I had at every bar I walked into. No shortage of personality and efficiency, that’s for sure. Made me feel right at home at home and mixed up exactly what I was looking for. Best vibe on JI if you’re looking for an elevated experience. Happy staff great owners. Proud of you Joey!

Good service and location on Maybank. Get the Peruvian Chicken! The hot dog was tasty. The red wine was tasty along with the donuts.

Fun fun fun atmosphere. The decor alone is worth the visit. Go there, grab a drink at the bar and walk around. The Classic open kitchen, 50's TV fish tank, video games and art make this a kick back spectacle.Love it.Fine bartenders and drinks and a lot more interior space than appears.
Okay ignore the fuzzy photos, but I do think the spicy margarita as great as it was, had me feeling a bit fuzzy! Lol. Drinks were incredible! The pina dog did surprise me.. but wow it was packed with some flavor and I was surprised at how much I liked it! My friend enjoyed her donut! Looked good. I mean you can't go wrong with Bar George. Music is great, service is good, drinks are great and it's just overall a perfect local hang. Will definitely be back again soon!

We hit up Bar George on a friend who recommended the Peruvian chicken. We ordered a whole bird for the two of us - we were worried that it would be too much food, but turns out...We also ordered a salad and a couple glasses of wine. The ended up being delicious and awesome! A unique crunchy crusty on the chicken gave way to a fully cooked and flavorful bird inside. We are this part followed by that part, then a nibble here and a slice there, next thing you know most of it is gone! We brought home just enough for a couple of chicken sandwiches for lunch, which went down just as easy as last night's dinner.We also shared their Boston cream donut, which also was a nice surprise as I was skeptical. Very delicious and one was enough for the two of us to share.Service was attentive and friendly, and knowledgeable about their food.Definitely had a bar layout than a restaurant, with several high top tables, a few regular tables, and a low table surrounded by stuff chairs and sofa.Great place on James I, we will be back.

My new favorite watering hole! I cannot tell you how much I love this place. I must've walked past it for years! The simple menu is all you need. My go to's are the daily crudo-so fresh, shrimp dip, and the boston cream doughnut! Wow!! Everything is so darn good! Great spot if going to the Terrace Theater. Love that I have finally discovered it!
