We had such a fun night here two Sundays ago! Great entertainment, and lovely staff. I also cannot thank the staff there enough as well after they very kindly sent my lost wallet in the post for me after I had one too many baby Guinnesses… really appreciate it, saved me a lot of admin and stress! Thanks so much, amazing establishment with really kind staff – Kate
The George is an exceptional 5-star club that offers an unparalleled experience. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet welcoming, and the staff is always professional and attentive. I would like to specifically mention Tais, an outstanding server who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable time. Her dedication to her role and her warm personality make her a standout member of the team – renanmesmo
Amazing place. Fran is an absolute gentleman. Came in on me own, he saw I was in poor form. He came over to check in. Place was mental busy and he still gave me 2 minutes. Gent of a man. 🙌- Paul

Our Amazing Atmosphere
Our patrons tell us we’re unparalleled, amazing, Dublin’s best gay bar, need we say more? Our atmosphere is guaranteed electric every night of the week.
Been going here for just over a year after finally deciding to be social. Have to travel over an hour into Dublin every time but its 100% worth it. The atmosphere is amazing and you never know who you would meet in the smoking area even as a non smoker. Sometimes even strike up a very engaging chat in line for the toilet at 2am which I’ve never experienced in any other bar/club. Drinks are cheap compared to other parts of Dublin and there’s always some kind of entertainment on .The staff have always been friendly and approachable. Highly recommended the George to anyone looking for a good night out – Adam
The best place for lgbt+ people looking for a night out. Drag, drinks, and dance floor in a vintage setting with a two-floor layout. Totally packed even on Thursdays – Anthony
Fantastic lgbt+ club and amazing safe space ,always a great night at the George with each night of good entertainment ,Staff are all amazing and security are friendly people especially Dawn always welcomed with a great happy vibe from her , Drag Queens are fantastic also very talented ….Best atmosphere in Dublin – Dean
Came on a Thursday night. There was an excellent drag show. When the show was over, the opened up the floor for dancing. They DJ played a great set. There were plenty of people out for a week night- mostly 20s and 30s, but also lots of folks in their 40s, 50s, 60s and up. Towards midnight, the dance floor got a little too crowded to dance like a maniac, but in a good-natured crowd where everyone is having fun, that’s nothing to complain about. The bar staff were quick and friendly. Definitely a good place to come for a drink and a dance. – Anthony Habib
Two floors of mixing and mingling, a side bar to rest up or relax and an impressive huge outdoor patio. Great music, dance floor, nice mix of men & women (primarily LGBT & our allies, the way it should be) and everyone’s friendly (UB2!) Plenty of opportunities to meet new people or mix with friends. Thankful for The George ❤️ – Kevin Escape

‘LGBTQ+’ & ‘ Straight’ Bar & Club. Would highly recommend to any visitors to Dublin. This place is an absolute must for everybody! Bridie’s bar in the George has become a regular haunt of mine due to the quality of clientele it attracts. I have never felt more welcome & safe in any pub or club anywhere. The absolute friendly professionalism of the door, bar, floor & management staff is second to none. Whatever you guys are doing, keep it up you are a credit to yourselves!
Feels safer than most clubs and the staff have always been sound to me and my group. – Caitlin
I have made this my local. It has entertainment every night. Even though it has a reputation for being just homosexual, it’s very far from the truth. People of all walks of life frequent here, no Religion, Politics or Sexual preference are discussed here unless you want to!! Really if you wish to go out and be entertained in a party atmosphere, staff are friendly, Drinks are at a reasonable price and the entertainment is hilarious.
Drag Shows and Entertainment at Dublin’s Best Gay Bar
A moment for our Queens for making every night the best night.
Consistently engaging and entertaining shows on every week! Monday-Thursday is free entry and free entry before certain times Friday-Sunday so you’re getting the show and atmosphere for the cost of your drinks. Arianna Grindr slayed and DJ RUTH is an icon. Cuan BOR
From the moment you are greeted at the door, The George always extends a warm welcome to its valued Patrons. Every night there is a different format of entertainment and the best of sounds till the wee hours…A wide variety of drinks and shots are available at affordable prices and they even have a designated cocktail bar. The courtyard is also a great place to meet and chat, or you can.pop into the original “George ” bar for a pint with the regulars…It’s super safe, super clean and caters for a delighted clientele. I love it, the people that work there and the people that go there.
Special Shout Out for Lee and “The Jurassic Section”
So much love for Lee and Bridie’s we had to create a dedicated section about the little bar inside the best gay bar in Dublin!
One of my favourite bars (particularly the Jurassic section!), and absolutely love the vibe. Can always rely on a warm welcome and a bit of banter from Lee the barman – Justin
I go to Bridie’s bar regularly at the George, it really does have a home from home feeling. Unusually for a city centre Bar, Lee the barman there knows all the many regulars that frequent here, down to the tipple they usually have. Lee is a treasure to The George, in a busy and sprawling city and scene, he has created a lovely community atmosphere in the heart of Town ♥️- declan flannery
I’m in Bridie’s most weeks and love the community feel. Also it’s a very nice touch when Lee has my usual drink ready for me on the bar 👍 – Raymond
This is my favourite watering hole, since Lee took over as the major barman here, his friendlyness and cheerful personality makes it the place to meet old friends and make new ones – Craig
Lee is absolutely amazing with customer service. So welcoming, warm, funny and the best bar tender in Ireland DUBLIN! Everyone get to LEE at The George – Dylan
