The George

My experience was good but I definitely witnessed the door staff not letting people in that seemed even remotely drunk. I feel like they strive to keep this a safe place but maybe a friendlier tone and demeanor at the door would make people feel a little more welcome. Bartenders were great, DJ did a good job keeping up with the vibe of the crowd. I visited on a Sunday night 11pm - closing.

Security staff definitely need better training on how to deal with the public that frequents this venue. Security approached one of my friends in an extremely rude, disrespectful and unnecessary manner simply because he was walking across the dance floor holding a drink. He did not stop to dance. There is no clear signage or staff informing people about this rule. My friend is one of the kindest, most gentle and respectful people I know. He was not being disruptive or rude in any way, which makes the aggressive approach even more unnecessary. I have lived in Dublin for years and, for reasons like this, I usually avoid this place. I was only there because of a birthday celebration. Rules may exist, but there is a clear lack of professionalism and respect in the way they are enforced. The LGBTQIA+ community goes out at night seeking welcoming and safe spaces. We already experience enough hostility in the outside world. Within these spaces, the minimum we should expect is respect and dignity. Very disappointing experience

I have been going to the george for years, and despite the general good music and vibes, I have noticed in recent months that it has felt increasingly unsafe, especially for women. I cannot count how many times I have been sexually harassed by overly drunk men, or otherwise had to intervene when witnessing either a friend or complete stranger being taken advantage of. I have chalked up the lack of staff intervention in these cases to security being too understaffed and overwhelmed to take notice of this phenomenon, however, this past Saturday made me realise that their shortcomings are inexcusable. It has been made abundantly clear that there is a habit of turning a blind eye to the entry of overly intoxicated men, while denying entry to women who are detectably intoxicated at even the slightest level. My friend, for example, having had two drinks earlier in the night, was denied entry by a bald bouncer with a ginger beard. Despite her speaking coherently and walking perfectly fine, she was told she had to wait 30 minutes before entering. While confused about her entry being denied, our group decided to go to the local spar and wait the 30 minutes before returning, so that the bouncer could reassess. We realised that it was likely due to our friend being neurodivergent that she was refused, as she has traits (even while fully sober) that could be interpreted otherwise. However, after we returned following the 30 minute period, the bouncer (without even looking at the "overly drunk" friend) told us he had already denied us. When we explained that we waited 30 minutes and asked him to check our friend again (who was practically sober at this point) he looked at her for a second and refused us, without listening to her or assessing her state of mind in any way. This lack of procedure in checking whether or not someone is actually unsafely drunk or not truly shows, as he clearly only checked to see that she was a small woman, while allowing bigger men in, regardless of their level of drunkenness. There is a clear preference toward men being allowed in, despite this being population that has, almost every time I've visited the George, harassed either me, my friends, or a stranger. Not once in any of these cases has staff ever noticed or intervened. Due to this, I fear the George fails to deliver on the inclusivity it preaches. I truly hope management works on training security to properly gauge how sober their attendees are, as the failure to ensure the safety of their attendees, and especially of women, is despicable.

Super safe positive atmosphere/vibes. Came early on a Sunday and it was pretty lowkey with great vibes which was perfect. Drinks were about 6-9 euros each (cocktails/shots/mixed drinks). Phenomenal staff!

Great vibes, went on a Monday night and there was great live performances. Locals lovely and easy to talk to too, the place had a great buzz about it for a weekday!

Fun place, nice to see how busy it was on a Sunday. Only negative, extremely hard to get around, especially to leave. You have to go up to the go down, and back inside just to reach the exit. Would be nice to add an exit only by the outside area. Cheers!

Bouncer at the door with messy curly hair and septum piercing was the weirdest encounter I have ever had at a gay bar. Was weird about me having one drink at my hotel room and then wouldn’t let my friend in for only having Id from her student website as she didn’t have a physical card. The rest of us were also 24 with id so don’t see what the issue was. Got into pawn shop and other bars no bother. Very weird attitude for a supposedly inclusive place. Men who are on a power trip are guarding the door.

my friends and i showed up after having two drinks and we were all barely tipsy. after letting in multiple people visibly far drunker than us, a bald red headed bouncer with a beard allowed in our entire group except decided our one autistic friend was too drunk despite her acting exactly the same as she always does. he told us to wait 30 minutes for her to “sober up” and we did so, came back, and they rejected us once again because of her. after asking what made her seem too drunk to go in they would not give us an answer. when i said that they appeared ableist due to rejecting us because of our autistic friend, they refused to take the criticism and said we should have showed up sober, again despite visibly far drunker patrons being let in. several friends who had come with us had been let in before when visibly drunk. i am disgusted by the blatantly ableist behavior of this establishment and the rude behavior with no reception to criticism and will not be returning.

While visiting Dublin, we made it point to check out and support the gay scene, so The George was high on our list and it did not disappoint! While most of the reviews speak of the evening crowds and vibes, we popped into The George on a weekday afternoon for a pint. The larger "club" space was not open, so we grabbed a table in the bar portion, which is separated by a door. Same place, but different vibes for sure! The bar area was small and quaint, and gave off classic Irish pub vibes more than gay bar, and we liked that energy, especially for a Tuesday afternoon! We grabbed a couple of pints followed by cocktails, and spent close to an hour hanging out and chatting with each other and a few local patrons. The bar itself stayed full, but the surrounding tables were a bit transient with small and larger groups coming through for a drink. The bartender was okay. Hard pressed to refer to him as "mean" or "rude", but he also wasn't super friendly. Cocktail was good and the pint was tasty. Overall, really enjoyed The George and have a deep appreciation for their presence in Dublin! Looking forward to going back and checking out the nightlife this place has to offer!

I recently visited The George, the older bar and my interaction with a barman identified as Lee raised serious concerns. I generally do not submit complaints--having worked in hospitality for many years, I understand the challenges of customer service. However, on this occasion, the conduct I witnessed was sufficiently troubling to warrant a formal statement. The barman in question appeared to go out of his way to behave in a rude and openly hostile manner, not only toward myself but toward several other patrons. During the short time I was present, I personally experienced three separate instances of verbal insult. My intention had been simply to enjoy a quiet evening with friends, yet the behaviour displayed made this impossible. One of my companions, who works in the legal profession, noted that the conduct observed could raise issues related to harassment and other potential liabilities. Initially, I assumed his manner might have been intended as humour; however, after observing his interactions with other customers, it became clear that this behaviour was consistent and not directed solely at me. Several newly arrived patrons left shortly after arriving, seemingly as a result of their interactions with this staff member. In total, five customers departed after finishing only their first drink, and I likewise felt compelled to leave. I have never witnessed conduct of this nature in an establishment that purports to offer an inclusive and welcoming environment. The behaviour observed was, in my view, unprofessional and inappropriate for any hospitality setting. I would urge management to take this feedback seriously, as it may only be a matter of time before this staff member's conduct results in a more serious incident or formal complaint. If you want bad service and nasty barman this is your place to visit. This guy Lee should be fired..

This was our favorite bar in Dublin. We went multiple nights. Drag Bingo was a blast, as were the drag performances. We also went another night and saw Doveena/Divina/Devina not sure of spelling but she was Fun! The bartenders were nice. The patrons were mostly kind friendly and chatty! We had a blast here and we are looking forward to coming back one day!

Great time! There was a $10 cover on Friday, but we had a lot of fun. Great music and amazing drinks. Tons of space inside, a lot of stairs, so be mindful, but there are different bars. If you get there early you'll get a good seat, and maybe catch a drag show!

Meh.... Oh, The George, the George. What an interesting experience this was! So, first things first, that €9 cover charge. We were not amused. Your choices of music sucked. Jarring is definitely an understatement! It's like they hired a DJ straight out of a bad wedding reception, playing all the cheesiest tunes no one wants to dance to. I guess they missed the memo that good music can be a make-it-or-break-it factor for any clubbing experience. And speaking of dancing, can we talk about the make-out sessions? Wait, isn't this supposed to be a gay bar? There's too many straight people! I mean, sure, inclusivity is important, but shouldn't the straight folks save their PDA for Tinder or something? There's also no older gays. They are either not allowed here or they scared them off. Let the LGBTQ+ community have their spotlight, for crying out loud! And let's not forget the pièce de résistance, the bathrooms! Ah, nothing makes you question your life choices more than stepping into a seedy and grimy bathroom. I mean, who needs shiny, sparkling tiles when you can have the authentic grunge experience, right? Just... don't touch anything, and bring hand sanitizer. Lots of it. All in all, The George, you had your moments, and not necessarily the good kind. Check out the other gay bars instead. At least they don't have a cover charge.

For better improvement could hire managers with experience that knows how to treat customers with a bit of respect ,seems management think they can try cause humiliation and discriminate towards their customers

This place was sooooo much fun! I am from California, USA and traveled to Dublin with a group. I decided to go out for the night and met some locals who were sooooo much! They took me here and wow I was impressed. I am not gay but back home In our community some of the places aren't too safe to go alone to. I was pleased with how welcoming this place was and how safe the environment felt to me. The drinks were inexpensive and rhetorical music was so good! I danced all night!

Visiting on holiday. Fun bar, good music, friendly staff and friendly patrons. What's not to like! Cheers!

Bartender was a horrible person! Made fun of folks and reduced to serve things. 6/23/2025 4 pm Horrible experience

Came into the Pub side for an afternoon pint. I walked up to the bar and ordered 2 Guiness. I mistakenly did not say please, and the bartender scolded me for not doing so in front of several patrons. Yeah, I'm a yank but now living in Ireland. Anyway, had 2 very good pours but felt it would be better to leave.

Came here while en route to show a friend temple bar. A very nice location! The drinks here were many and amazing. Very good beers and whiskey in stock. Good for any time of the day! The service was very nice! The bartender was friendly and helpful, loved to make conversation. Had an hard time understanding my accent but was very nice! The ambiance was very quiet as well, as we came in the middle of the day. Only three people in the bar (including us) but the lighting was very nice! Will come back!

Do NOT miss going to The George- we all had a blast and saw the first night of the drag contest!

Came in for a quick drink after a tour out of Dublin. It was a bit crowded, but we were able to find a seat. The bartender was friendly and handled the crowd well. We were there early, so the dance area wasn't open yet, but it looked like it was about to. The music playing in the bar was great. I certainly would visit again.

I had an absolute blast here while in Dublin! Affordable drinks and the drag show was fun.

Had a blast here! Bartenders are nice and the shows are always amazing! The dance floor is the perfect size and there is also an outdoor area to sit and chill if you are looking for a more private conversation.

I was in the geogre with some friends watching the drag show an we were approached by a member of staff which later we found out he was a manager called Fran ,which was very rude and aggressive, we had drinks on the bar/stool section and start shouting at us saying we can't have our drinks there , there was no signs to indicate that we can't have drinks there so how are we suppose to know this, and he gone about his business we were left feeling very nervous and decided to leave we spoke to the bouncer outside that said they were sorry we are leaving for this reason and it be best to come in another day to speak to his manager regards this has there have been complaints before, I don't live close to the geogre to call back in so I hoping by review can maybe help others that may have similar experiences that they can share

The staff were not welcoming whatsoever. We were not surprised though because we had read additional bad reviews which makes me so sad to see especially for a gay bar that's expected to be a comfortable welcoming environment!

We seemed to be bothering the bartender by being there. I think he was angry, because customers repeatedly inquired about Happy hour, which ended at 6pm.

Fun dancing, affordable drinks, great drag shows - say less! I love this place and make a point to go whenever I'm in Dublin

Variety of drinks, decent prices, people are nice, and plenty of energy with the audience and entertainers.

Jamie W. was quite determined for us to come here during our brief Irish vacation, as this is apparently the mother of all gay bars on the Emerald Isle. Now it's not that we're feather boa-adorned, mascara-stained queens with heavy attitude. OK, maybe we have the attitude part down, but otherwise we're as nondescript as any couple you would see strolling in the Castro in San Francisco searching for the perfect latte. But now that we live in a Trump Nation stateside, it's probably safer to hang out at The George than it is at Midnight Sun back home. Although the legendary Temple Bar is just a quick stroll away, The George is located on party-hearty South Great George's Street which is Dublin's version of the Castro. We came on a Sunday hoping to play bingo with the redoubtable Shirley Temple Bar calling out the numbers on the balls. To our chagrin, however, we were too early as the games don't begin until 9PM. Alas, we just hung out in the low-profile bar nursing our pints of Guinness which was perfectly fine by us (photo: http://bit.ly/2laXXrX). It turned out the section we were in is called Jurassic Park, as this is where the "older" crowd congregates, thank you very much. What the heck, even without the experience of a glamorous drag show, we still had a nice time as the locals were quite friendly to these two outcasts from the country nobody likes anymore. Beware that it crowds quickly after 7PM (photo: http://bit.ly/2kFUaGe).

Friendly and welcoming gay bar in Dublin! Stopped by here for a few beers and made quick friends with some locals. So nice to enjoy our community when away from home!

It's gay history in Dublin as the oldest gay bar still hanging around. I'm a fan of the little bar in there side for afternoon meetings and drinks. The loo is in the basement for the smaller bar, but if you're handicapped I'm sure they'd let you go to the closed larger area. I've been coming to Dublin annually for 15 years and have always had great service with no attitude and very chatty friendly. I continue to be a fan!

refused me and my friends on his night of coming out while we were sober, extremely disappointing on a night of what should be celebration.

This is supposed to be a gay bar but they let straight people in instead of gay people. On weekends at night they don't like older people. This is why people flock to places like NYC because these small European cities with only a couple gay bars are so disappointing.

Overall a nice club with pleasant staff and excellent performers. My two main issues were the music was not great and even though the George is a gay club I felt somewhat unsafe as a queer woman and have had two straight cis men physically grab me

I don't even know why I'm bothering writing this review, it's a story that get's repeated again and again in Dublin but anyhow maybe it will be good to get it off my chest. I still think that the bar staff in this club are very friendly and pleasant, the door men on the other hand. Nightclubs in Dublin close at 2:30am on a Saturday. We turned up at 2:15am. Yeah late but technically we should still be legally allowed in to have a drink etc. The door man obviously is angry with the world that no one has discovered him yet for the role of Total Recall 3. So yes I can hear the critics already saying, "Ah come on Annie, that's a bit trivial!" Usually I would agree with you if that policy was enforced to everyone that came to the door but it wasn't. He let his mates in. As we left I said to my friend, let's just wait here for fifteen minutes so that I can count all the people he lets in, it was a joke and he let people in after 2:30am too. I really hate that crap of it's about who you know, that's what brought this country to it's knees. A law is a law. Rant over.

Easily Dublin's best known gay bar, the George is loved by many and feared by many others. If you put all grievances and sexuality issues aside for a few hours you'll probably have a great night. Some of the stuff that's on here is crazy camp, but good fun if you're in the right frame of mind. Best known for the bingo curated by Shirley Temple Bar on a Tuesday night, yes, that's how she ended up on telly bingo...started here. Also, I recently saw two elderly gents who couldn't have been under eighty leave here a few weeks ago, which is one of the best things I have ever seen.

Nursing my hangover as I type this review. Going to gay bingo on a Sunday night was an experience, a good one (as far as I could recall). It didn't help that pints were €3.50 which went down easily while bopping to drag show acts to catch pop tunes. The crowd was very friendly and up for a good time - a good 1/3 were women with their gay associates in tow. The party was just getting started as I left at 11.30 pm to catch the last bus home. I would need to plan in advance, write off a Monday and visit again!

Probably the most famous gay bar in Dublin, why thi was a gay bar when you could be arrested for being gay! and thats not too long ago! this is one of those pubs that is always the brunt of some lads joke who thinks its hilarious to send his non dubliner friend to the pub on a recommendation of definitely being able to score there,the unsusecting straight guy and his friend strolls in buys a pint and then slowly figures out that he might not be picking up a girl in here tonight! although boys it is a fact that you definitely can find the lady fo your dreams in here as there are infact many straight girls who go there simply because they know you can have a great night in here! there is bingo to be enjoyed, there is a drag night, there are drink promotions and there is always someone entertaining to meet! I am not gay but i have to say that i have had some really great nights in here so dont go ruling it out on account of your sexual preferences!

I visit Dublin often for work. And my friend meet me for a drink at the George on Friday night. I think it's great place. What I like about that. You can like what ever you want. There is to part. Younger part. Good Music. Shows. Very busy. Or the older part. More calm. Relaxing pub. My self I like the relaxing pub. And I think it was great. I enjoy it And definitely will try it again !

The bouncer was so incredibly rude and I have never felt so disrespected in my life. Don't go here if you want to be treated nicely. Both floors were EMPTY and they wouldn't let in my group of 5. Seems like a bad business model to me.

Went with a couple of friends and were asked if we "know what kind of club this is" and that "we should try another club" as it was for locals. Completely disgusted in this behaviour

Went there with my friend on Tuesday night. The show was great. Dolly grip was the act! Fab!!! But a bar man with a beard threw out my drink it was half full, I called him over and explained that he threw out my drink and rudely said all drinks left here will be thrown out, yet my friend pint wasnt and they were side by side. I told him I'd like my drink replaced, even just the half he threw out. He was unbelievably rude!! (Tattoo up back of his neck) I explained to another barman and he apologized and sorted it out straight away! I had to give him a tip as he was so helpful!! Thanks pal!! So people just shouldn't be in customer sevice!!

This Dublin gay scene institution has been going strong for longer than I can remember. Camp as knickers, gay as Christmas. Some call it the gay Copper Face Jacks. Some say Copper Face Jacks is the George for "breeders". For the most part I have an incredible amount of fun any time I come here. Awesome tunes, lots of dancing. It is a cattle market if you let your beef enter the market. It is what you make of it! If all you want to do is score, then you will score. If all you want to do is dance, then you will dance. If all you want to do is have fun with your friends, then you will have fun with your friends! (The last one is usually what I aim for) Just like Annie L said in her recent review, the bar staff and staff in general are incredibly friendly. The drag shows are great craic (Wednesday's Space N Veda in particular)... The problem I have is with the security on the main door. These guys have attitudes and egos bigger than any drag queen with maximum friend capacity on their Facebook profile. This has gotten significantly worse over the past year. I have been coming here since I was a teenager and the bouncers attitude has changed from, "NO not tonight" to "please come in", over the years and a few years ago I thought all that nonsense of not letting people in for NO valid reason was of days gone by. Sadly this attitude has come back FULL FORCE and has pretty much ruined mine, and my friends nights out on numerous occasions over the past year. My birthday, celebrating my drag debut, other friends birthdays...... All of these celebrations have been ruined in some way because of bouncers on the door of the George. I am not 18 years of age. I am 32 and most of my friends are around the same age. We don't get gee-eyed and fall to the next club looking for alcopops and shots of tequila. Each of these nights I have been grilled on the door for no reason and actually feel like I need to camp it up to make it easier for me to get in. Any straight people with me have huge problems, in particular the guys. This is BULLSH1T in this day and age. I understand for safety reasons in the early 90's why they would not let big straight guys in but in 2012 I think my straight mates should be able to come and celebrate my birthday with me wherever I choose to celebrate it. The straight guys are not the only casualty of this, sooo many of my gay mates have been refused from the door for no reason at all. Just because the bouncers on the door don't like the look of them. Now, there are some of the security staff who are LOVELY and I have no problem with these guys, it is unfortunate that the couple of ego's that are there ruin the reputation for the rest of them and appear to get some kick out of ruining peoples nights out. I am so sick of this situation that all I can muster for this review is a 1 out of 5. Sort it out George management, sort it out!

The staff was very rude to my group. I went to meet a group of friends there- we had a reservation- and they gave one of our tables away just before I got there. They sat me and a couple of others across the room from the rest of our group as a result, so we politely asked the people sitting at the table they gave away to switch seats and they happily agreed. However, when we asked the staff they said that would not be okay, which was fine, so we went to sit back at our table across the room. A couple of minutes later, a staff member came up to my table and started yelling at us for having the audacity to ask to switch tables with another group. We apologized and explained that they very kindly agreed, but we understand if that's policy during covid not to switch then we won't. But he just kept yelling at us and calling us names- it was very unnecessary and I certainly won't ever go back now.

Well my American a$$, was rejected because of my pants. Security was very polite about it, but despite pleading my 1000mi one night visit case I was denied. So much for gay bars being "accepting". Did return with change of pants and bouncer remembered and was nice. No re entry after 2am :/ The whole 30min there was meh unless you're into super stereotypical packed gay bars

How can this place not get five stars! Drag queen shows with with synchronised dancing and high levels of fabulousness on a Wednesday night?! Very me. The drinks here are mainly the standard stuff you get anywhere else but who is going to take time to critique the bar selection when there are fierce performances from Dublins queens on the stage. Don't be fooled by the very classic pub front on this place, get inside and party!

To go or not to go that is the question one battles with when it comes to a night out in the George. Known locally as the G, The George is a lottery when it comes to a gay night out in Dublin. Sunday night out is quintessentially the only option before 11p.m with Shirley Temple Bar performing her classic bingo night with great performances and cutely boys thrown in to the mix. All other nights are definitely a hit, miss or maybe(depending on who is checking you out). The shows that are performed there are generally drag queens miming to a backing track (which I was told by a friend from London as been un-original, tacky and non innovative) although sometimes new shows do surprise the frequent party goer. The George has quieten down in the past few months however they have tried to re-establish the place by offering drink promotions and reduced entry price. They also offer free pass outs which gives you a fantastic opportunity to tour the alternative gay night and return if nothing else is pulling. As it is known as Dublin's oldest gay bar it is worth checking out and doing so it is worth keeping an open mind as who knows what to expect.

The George have got some new weekly treats! From Monday-Thursday's all pints, longnecks and spirits are only €4 each. As well as the new first-rate recessionista prices exciting new musical outfits are gracing the DJ booths. Wednesdays see exquisite mayhem with Veda & Davina followed by DJ Rocky with free admission before 11pm. Whilst on Thursday's it's all back to Davina's for killer tunes in the form of 'Davina's House Party', with drink promos and hardcore glamour. It's Friday's however that really enliven the senses with 'Anto's X Factor' where punters get to sing for survival and win cash. This is followed by a pounding set from DJ Karen on the decks. Although come to think about it Sunday's are fun too with 'Bingo with Shirley Temple Bar'. It's bingo, it's Shirley, what more could one's kitsch self ask for!

I went from the Front Lounge to here last night. A familiar haunt for me from my youth, I do really like the place. Although it is quite seedy, if you want to experience the typical gay night out in Dublin you MUST GO HERE! You're sure not to have a bad night here but make sure to be prepared for tackiness.

what can i say? - it smells, -its in a terrible state or repair and decoration, -their smoking garden is a back car park, and the show! i went to see the show, but its impossible to see it unless u hold your place for an hour before it starts,,however the atmosphere was fun and the crowd lively. and the show sounded good, hopefully the new owners will redesign the stage and viewing areas so at least half the people can see the show.

My favorite gay bar in Dublin! I love this place. I would go with my friends here just for a change of scenery from the straight clubs. Though I am straight, The George never ceased to amuse me. Costantly crowded, good drinks, and good music mixes. I met a couple of dear friends of mine from here too. This place is great for hen parties and stag parties. The crowd is mixed. You have anyone from college age up to their mid 30s coming here. All the people who go here are pretty attractive too. The men especially. It's a shame they don't swing my way. haha Still though, The George will always have a special place in my heart. I love it. They have a smoking patio in the back which I really appreciate because the rest of it is smoke free. Enjoy!

The George is without question the most well known gay bar in dublin, although inside you will probably fimd more straight peolpe than gay! The shows put on by the drag queens are fun but after seeing them a few times get very repetitive. Drinks are expensive and the music is an awful mix of dance and chart music remixed to the point where it just sounds like noise. Bingo on sunday is fun though.

It's a very funny place, for sure! Went there two times in my short stay in Dublin. Always packed, but a nice place to have fun (and some drinks), specially if you're with friends. If you manage to get there early you will have a better spot to watch the performances (like bingo, drag queen performance or karaoke, depending on the day) and you may enter for free. The public have different age ranges, but are mainly young. The music is so-so. You can't really tell the difference from the DJ to a Spotify playlist. The music selection is very obvious, what surprises me for this kind of venue.

So I only popped in here for a brief pint on a Monday afternoon - not the best time to truly represent this establishment I'm sure. It was fairly quiet, they didn't have the beer I wanted sadly and there was no real atmosphere in here. This suited so I could have a chat with my friend! Maybe I should come back again on a busy evening to truly appreciate everything it has to offer :)

Fun crowd. Serious drinkers! Went for gay Bingo and Drag Show on a Sunday night. The place was packed. The bartenders are fantastic. They dealt with this large crowd with finesse and a wonderful sense of humor.

Really interesting bar to walk into for a quick drink (Smithwicks!) and chat. It's a gay bar with an overly decorated bar area, 'Thriller' music videos running on their TV's, and the crowd is always cool to people-watch.

The George was my favorite gay bar in Dublin. Trust me, I tried them all. I found the door men to be very friendly (and handsome). Stevie took great care of us!! He even gave us recommendations for dinner, etc. Space 'n Veda was off the charts fun!! Davina is amazingly talented. I was actually jealous this scene did not exist where I live. Check out The George, I highly recommend it.
