I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I truly couldn't tell you how many times I've been there. It's a small spot, but the atmosphere feels so James Island in the best way. They have the best hotdogs in Charleston and the best dirty martinis. You can't convince me otherwise. read more

Bar George - Perfect place to drink a martini and read a book! - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Bar George is one of my favorite places on James Island. They have the best house dirty martini in Charleston and their Peruvian chicken is to die for (they can run out of chicken late into the evening). I also highly recommend their hot dogs, which I know sounds crazy but trust me. The girls and I stop here on a fairly regular basis and the service is always enjoyable. Such a cute bar, definitely worth stopping in. read more

The service here is unmatched. The bar tenders are all super friendly, and they will make you just about any drink you can imagine. Big fan of their espresso martini (yes they use real espresso). Their shrimp dip is a cold dip, but it's delicious and the bread it's served with is the most crisp and buttery compliment you've ever had. I tried the slaw dog, the mummy dog and the Greek dog. The slaw dog is hands down the best 10/10 recommend. It's got a dark moody environment with plenty of bar seating as well as outside seating. read more

Bar George is my girlfriend hangout spot! We meet there for dinner and drinks always. The drinks are good but the food is better! We typically start with the sweet potato gratin which is a fantastic light starter then next our personal favorite- the Peruvian chicken. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the sauce is out of this world. It is even better with fresh lime squeezed on top. To finish an excellent meal, we always order a donut. The dulce de leche is perfection..incredibly sweet with a little bit of salt. They are well known for their hot dogs which are pretty good as well but don't come close to the amazing chicken. To drink, I enjoy the cuttin' tails but the only complaint is that there is way too much ice. They constantly have specials of the day- see deviled egg picture below. The service is wonderful. Everyone is helpful and always willing to find something to make it a better experience. One time they created a drink based on what I wanted as nothing on the menu was calling to me. This will always be a great local hangout for a girls night. read more

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. read more

Great spot for before or after a movie. The drinks are great and the food is always amazing. Vibe inside is dark and cozy, we love sitting at the raw bar. Kitchen does amazing things with such little space and is always super friendly. Food is served till 11pm. read more

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! read more

Delicious espresso martini! All the drinks here are delicious and ambiance is relaxed but still elevated. Service was great!

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. read more

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. read more

We were seated at the bar, we were there at around 6pm it's a small place so it seemed busy. The service was good as well as the food. The drinks were definitely the best part of the meal. We ordered the chicken, Greek hotdog and fried grits all which were very tasty. But my fave was the hot dog, they had a balance of flavors. read more

Great vibes, drinks and food. The steak chimichurri is service is always attentive and quick with nice staff

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. read more

If I could give it 6 stars I would. Just the perfect atmosphere for a date night drink or gathering with friends. Relaxed, fun, good music, fantastic flawless service, talented bartenders and unique fresh menu. Special shout-out to our amazing server Sadie. She was one of the most charming, helpful, and efficient servers I've ever had and made our experience. And doughnuts- did I mention amazing doughnuts? I almost don't want to tell everyone because I want space for myself ... so really it was just meh... read more

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! read more

Bar George - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

One of my all time favorite bars! The vibe is funky and reminds me of the Philly bars I used to hang out in. Staff is so kind and welcoming. The food menu is outstanding and highlights hotdogs, oysters, Peruvian chicken, and donuts. Everything is amazing. Cocktails are all creative and well made. Open late every night of the week! read more

This place is worth driving away from downtown CHS for. And the bartender, Topper, is so great! Fun concept, cool decor, and delicious food and drinks! We enjoyed the Greek dog and oysters - but I've also heard good things about the donuts. All their specialty cocktails are delicious, but the bartender is also so talented, he can whip up anything for you. Pro tip- ask for the banana Jameson. Was killer and house made. read more

Went for the Italian food night, by Lupara, pop-up owners. Fantastic. Ordered all that they offered, although small portions, but to die for! It was expensive, but once in a lifetime experience. Vegetable salad, wiped ricotta, lasagna, Pene Al vodka, mushroom ravioli, large macaroni, and of course cheesecake with peaches. Oh my! If he has any more pop-ups, I'm there. Frank G read more

Came for happy hour, cute little outside spot. Didn't get food, although I wish I did because all the food that came out looked yummy

Good cocktails; mediocre attitudes from staff. I go sometimes with friends and we just sit outside in the patio. Good parking, clean bathrooms, ok atmosphere. Oh; and very standard glassware and presentations. Nothing cool or unique here. read more

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

Im torn between 3 and 4. Cool vibe. Some eclectic offerings one of which is Peruvian chicken. I felt it was a little overpriced but everything is nowadays. It was very tasty. We got the whole for 28$ The sides were not great. We had 4 of them and not super impressed. Happy hour specialty drinks were very small. Are they always that small? My wife loved the one with gin. I will probably be back for the chicken and skip the sides and have a beer. Hopefully changes my 3 to 4. read more

Probably the BEST under the radar meal we've had in Charleston. Service A++, Ambiance A, Food A+++. The menu is pretty limited but every dish was beyond excellent. Peruvian chicken - fall off the bone moist and perfectly spiced. Whole fish - great sharing portion and fresh fresh. Oysters - roasted and fresh were crazy good. Tarama Salata - Greek caviar dip with focaccia- unbelievable!!! Dulce De Leche donut - are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!! Nutella and sea salt donut was out of this world. Don't sleep on the cocktails - the mixologist is a rock star. We will be back... read more

If you enjoy a neighborhood bar, but miss the decor in your grandmother's basement, this place is for you! If you enjoy a gourmet hotdog, this place is for you! If you want to drink the best painkiller EVER, this place is for you! So far I've been to Bar George twice and it has been a wonderful experience both times. Good food, good vibes and great service! I'm not sure why some folks have complained about the service. When we went, there was one server taking orders for the whole place. She didn't skip a beat and was on point the whole time! Check this place out next time you're out on James Island! read more

Drinks were excellent! I asked for a Rye Manhattan up and it was delicious!!! I did try their over baked oysters. They were ok but not worth the price... but I'd probably order them again with some other topping or a little longer in the oven. They were tasty. I'll go again and see what trouble I can get into. The bartenders are amazingly talented! read more

I wish I could give it more stars. MY FAVE bar here in Charles Town. Easy breezy to get in to. Love the eclectic vibe of the place and the menu. I have eaten or drank anything that disappointed and have gotten several people addicted to the chicken. Oh the chicken. IYKYK. read more

We came here for happy hour. The drink menu was good, and I was pleased with what I ordered. However, the sticky, wobbly tables and fruit flies everywhere made me not want to stay for a second beverage or order from the menu. Service was great. I don't think I'll return. read more

My friend and I came in for a night cap after my birthday dinner on 6/15. We sat down at the bar and were given menus and water but not a word was spoken. 10 minutes past and the 2 bartenders still have not technically greeted us or said a word to us. The same bartender who gave us menus and water was standing in front of us when we asked her if we could place our drink orders. She replied "Oh, he didn't get your drink order? What can I get you." She proceeded to get our drinks, we both got the Painkiller cocktail, and even though they were pricy for the size of the drink (I'd say probably 6oz) they were very tasty. I asked the same female bartender a few questions about the drinks and I have never felt more unwelcome. Her answers were dry and she was just very unfriendly. I almost felt like she hated us and I have no idea why because we were both very nice to her. This was my first time but my friend has been here before and said she was treated the same way as we were on this visit. While we were having our second drink, she was converting with the male patrons (my friend and I were the only female customers) and she was actually laughing and smiling with them. So we then came to the conclusion that she does indeed have a personality, just hates other females. I'll give this place another shot because their food looks delicious. I really hope my updated review is a better one. My advice is to maybe talk to your bartenders on how to make guests feel welcome and not a bother. I work in F&B and this was a really crappy feeling. read more

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