The George

They didn't let me in just because I look Hispanic. Or I don't know why. The didn't say to me why. And very drunk people came in. That seems racism. A follow-up reflection: "It’s incredible that a place known as a pillar of the LGBTQ+ nightlife scene treats you like a soulless object. Nightlife used to be a sanctuary for the community; now, it just seems like a front for making money. I was dressed up in my best clothes—I’d just been to the barber and had a couple of pints—but when I arrived, they told me "NO". I asked "Why?" and was met with silence. All this while watching a guy walk by—a guy who was high and had tried to kiss me without my consent at the previous pub. This is not an LGBTQ+-friendly place. This label should not be used for venues that deny entry without explanation. If you feel like going out for the first time because you are sad or lack acceptance within your immediate circle, it is better to visit the area's most popular LGBTQ+ association; they will welcome you with respect and without judgment. I will report the incident to the most important LGBTQ+ association in the area. " Third reflection: "I’m not saying it’s racism, but you can be made to feel that way if you aren't told the reason while you watch locals walk right in—people who are heavily intoxicated and have previously harassed you. Therefore, from my perspective, it is not a safe place for the community. I wrote the first part a minute later, so it reflects what I was feeling. And I’m not going to remove it; I think we now know that emotional wounds are just as important as physical ones, and they aren't respected in this place." A fourth—and perhaps very important—clarification: "It was the man who treated me badly, and the woman followed suit. He refused to let me in for no reason, and she was complicit in that unjust act later on." ***I’m attaching a photo from a few hours earlier, right after I left the barbershop. I was wearing new jeans and a new pair of trendy sneakers.***

Oh it was FABULOUS being here!!! It’s a great safe space for LGBTQIA+ people. Everyone was so nice and respectful. Also the drag shows hellooo?! I mean what they did on the stage was unbelievable!!! Loved being here and i‘ll definitely come back!

Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Gernard was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We really enjoyed the Niçoise salad and the blackened Tuna with Haricots verts. Great date night with the wife.

I honestly can’t thank The George Dublin enough! ❤️ My boyfriend and I visited twice during our week break in Dublin, and it quickly became one of our favourite places. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was amazing, everyone was in great spirits, and the drinks were such good value considering you’re right in the heart of Dublin. Every visit was full of good vibes, and it genuinely made our trip even more memorable. When I got back to the UK, I realised I’d lost my Pandora charm bracelet that I’d been collecting charms for over 13 years. I was absolutely devastated. About a week later, I decided to message The George, not expecting anything to come of it. To my surprise, they replied almost immediately to say that a bracelet had been handed in! After sending them a few photos to confirm it was mine, they kindly posted it all the way back to my home in the UK. Just two days later, it was back with me just after a week. It’s so rare to come across such genuine honesty and kindness. Not only did we have fantastic service, an incredible atmosphere and great-value drinks, but the team also went above and beyond to reunite me with something that means the world to me. A huge thank you to everyone at The George. You’ve given us memories we’ll never forget, and your kindness has meant more than you’ll ever know. We will 100% be back on our next trip to Dublin, and I’ll be recommending The George to everyone I know who’s planning a visit. Thank you again—you really are one of the best places in Dublin! 🍀❤️I honestly can’t thank The George Dublin enough! ❤️

First time we went here it was great! They played absolute bangers, even music you don't regularly hear in the club. The drinks were great! We ordered two cocktails and you could really see the bartender liked working there. I looked for a tip jar but couldn't find one, recommend putting one next to the bar! The toilets were clean and the overall vibe was awesome. Second night we went it was a little busier than the night before. This time we ordered two jagermeister shots, quite disappointed with it being served warm. Then we go to the dance floor and find its mostly kpop music. Honestly the whole time we were there we heard one lady Gaga song and then it went back to kpop. Kind of ruined the vibe for us so we went home. Overall tho I would recommend going here.
