Who is This George and Why Doesn’t He Like Good Drinks?
Posted December 20th, 2009 in Business Casual, Slutty, Snappy Casual | PermalinkAt some point, I would think bar exclusivity crosses the line into loneliness. Might this it be it?
While reading our DC version of UsWeekly – The Scene Bisnow — I saw pictures from party at a bar called George. What’s this? A bar I haven’t heard of (granted, I don’t usually run with the Georgetown scene, but I still keep up with the names).
So I clicked around and found the following review from Metromix DC:
This Georgetown locale is hidden in the courtyard behind Cafe Milano. Opened by a popular local social networker and some UVA grads, this bar is tough to get into (except on Thursdays and Fridays from 6-9 during happy hour) unless you know somebody or know somebody that knows somebody (you get the picture). The drink list is limited to Heineken, Blue Moon, Miller Lite, Corona and Red Bull & Vodka. So if you like those specialty frilly drinks, this place probably isn’t for you.
Hmmm… founder of the popular local social network? Couldn’t be Late Night Shots, now could it? I think it’s the limited drink menu that really gets me. But, I guess if you already know your clientele, there’s no need to go beyond.
That said, (and being an optimist) this could be a cool place for private events.

Sad that this is the drink list that the upper crust of DC’s social elite demands. I bet the conversation is just as riveting.

This isnt accurate at all, George has the same liquor that you can find at any other bar in DC and has great bar tenders. Somewhat faulty reporting writing about a place you haven’t even been to.

George has a full bar. Just take a look at their website. Or zoom on on the picture of the bar in this pdf http://www.georgeofdc.com/private_events_venue_dc/george-brochure.pdf
