About this place The George

The George has been on South Great George's Street since 1985 and is the longest-running gay bar in Dublin. It's a big, two-part venue with a traditional pub on one side and a larger club room on the other. The best-known night is Sunday bingo hosted by the drag queen Shirley Temple Bar, which has run for decades and fills the room. Google ratings are mixed (3.7 from over 1,800) and mention queues and door policy on busy nights, so arrive early on Sundays and weekends. Newer gay bars on Capel Street are about 10 minutes' walk across the river. Check thegeorge.ie for the week's programme.

Another gay club conquered by straight women. It will make you long for the days queer spaces were for queer people.

Security ruins everything, two people in front of us had weed pens and he told them dont use them at bar ,he asked us where we were before and we said 1 cocktail in alfies and Instantly refused us, if you keep this security it will run this place into the ground, its a disappointment
