George is exactly what you want and expect out of a local, low-key, gay, country-esque, hole in the wall dive bar. Staff is great - friendly and attentive, but mess with them and they ll have you out on the curb in a second. Seasoned professionals. Beers, shots, the usual. But go ahead and inject some fun into your night with a syringe full of Jell-O shots. There s pool, darts, and the best and worst of Houston s gay scene it has everything but a dj named stefon who looks suspiciously like that club queer from weekend update

Unsafe environment! I had a stalker harassing me and I could not get staff to help! I called the police, who showed Up, wrote report of the stalking incident and when I walked back in, to close my tab I was asked to never go back !

Terrible experience as 3 straight women and 1 gay woman. We were told to quiet down PLAYING POOL, and then told again to shut YouTube down playing pool. We were quieter than the Astros game playing on the TV against the Athletics. The actual owner told us we no needed to keep it down. Never coming back.

my third time at George s bar here on Montrose and it unfortunately has been the wrong place I have ever spent my money on. Taylor has been an amazing bartender. He always took care of me & a great guy, but on the other hand, Danny, the other bartender gets way too intoxicated on the job so from there he starts asking for money, that s not there . for example.. I always paid cash no matter on my tabs so i don t have to worry about any other drinks i didn t order & i can come & go as i please. when i would inquire about all the cool shots danny will make as i relaxed by the corner, he ll tell me! nice to know what everybody at the bar likes! I ve been pretty generous with double tipping the tab ($9 tito s + watermelon redbull vodka + $5) which is well over 40% tip.! but then the leftover shots (lemon drops) he ll slide me on the side & say it s on him & to enjoy myself. took them. then as i was saying my goodbyes & respects to the team Danny the bartender starts demanding i owe him for drinks that he claimed was on him & other stuff i never ordered. money turned that man evil on 3/20/24. whatever the guy is going through, I generally hope he is going to be better because this is not the atmosphere I totally expected from a bar that I thought was always welcoming.

A friend and I asked for water, were declined the water as a joke, then once we were given the water told to leave immediately. I understand profit is important, but I didn t realize external life was so miserable that we have to project on two 22-year olds. Maybe it s because we were very femme presenting or brown, but werk! if you didn t want to serve water, could ve directed us to a water station.

The setting was very disappointing the last time I was here. Patrons not supporting the community in which it served, and bartenders not educated on serving the other visitors who are not in the Gay Community. Shameful when a community doesnt welcome the opposite of what they are, especially when it comes from the opposite sex.

Is it a problem to give your business? Because it felt it was last night. Was looking for my friend, walk in couldn t find him, walk out and he was coming here. We went to the bar, and this older skinny short white men came to me and told me to leave, I wasn t even drunk. I felt very uncomfortable and thought it was rude. Didn t gave me a reason why just say, I need ya to leave I mean ya can have a dog inside and I m sure it s okay but to have someone wanting to pay give my earn cash to this place i completely don t understand. Total killer vibe!

I was celebrating my friend s 24th birthday at this bar last night, and one of our group members bought all of us one of the syringe Jell-O shots. When I saw another friend I knew, I sat down with him and talked to him at the bar whilst still holding the syringe Jell-O shot I hadn t taken yet. As I was sitting at the bar talking to him, the tall bartender snatched the jello syringe shot out of my hand assuming I had stolen it from the bucket that was close by. When I asked him why he had snatched it out of my hand after I had paid for it he told me I had stolen it and that he could get me kicked out of the bar for giving him an attitude and for being too inebriated . Mind you this was the start of the night. After I told him to check the cameras and showed him the receipt the other bar tender interfered and gave me back my syringe Jell-O shot without an apology. This is the worst experience I ve ever had at any bar by far.

Horrible service. They were rude. We reserved in Open Table, they would not give us the Houston Restaurant Week menu. Apparently we had to call and book the HRW menu in advance. No where did they write that. Our non white skin color probably did not help. Worst service I ever had anywhere. Only go there if you can put up with french snobbery.
