    Shrimp Dip
    Emma P.

    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.

    Who doesn't like a nice cocktail then wash it down with a hot fresh doughnut? Bar George is delivering craft cocktails, amazing food, & great ambience.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Love the vibes in this place! This is sisters favorite bar as she is a local! We went for drinks and some apps and even though the menu looks scary everything tastes absolutely amazing! The service was fast and friendly and I love the lights inside. They also have a small patio!

    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.

    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!

    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...

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly. We accidentally forgot to update our reservation from 6 to 7, and the staff was incredibly patient and kind while waiting for a table that could accommodate our group. They made us feel so comfortable and even let us enjoy a drink in the waiting area while everything was sorted out. No stress at all. Once seated, our server was fantastic. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and more than happy to give recommendations, which was much needed because everything sounded amazing. They even played along with our Christmas party raffle games, which made the night extra fun. Such a cool, welcoming vibe. For appetizers, we shared the lemon ricotta dip, the Dippin' Shrimp, the spinach artichoke dip, and a spicy Caesar salad. Everything was absolutely delicious. For my main course, I ordered the pecan-crusted chicken with a side of Brussels sprouts, and wow. Phenomenal. Huge portions, incredible flavor, and we were all stuffed by the end. Amazing service, amazing food, and an overall great experience. I cannot wait to come back again. This is officially a go-to spot for celebrations.

I came here expecting a short wait since it was dinner time on Friday. While the bar was full I was able to get sat at a table immediately. This place had one of the best deals for a happy hour oysters I found find in Charleston and they were so delicious that I had to order another dozen. I'm not sure what is in the blue dropper bottle (assuming vinegar) but it complimented the oysters really well. I could've used more horseradish since the small drop they give you isn't enough for a dozen oysters. The Spanish Octopus looked amazing and tasted even better. It had a great texture, almost like a tuna steak, and the seasoning on it was unbelievable. The only bad thing about the dish is that you barely get any food for the price you're paying. Overall my service was great. My server was nice and funny and made sure to check in on me pretty regularly even though she was very busy running around.
