George's Bar & Restaurant

Since opening its doors in 1961 at 1041 North Highland Avenue NE, George’s Bar & Restaurant has become a beloved fixture of the Midtown‑Eastside neighborhood in Atlanta. The brick‑faced building houses a vintage‑style pub with a lively sidewalk patio that lets diners watch the pulse of the city while enjoying a cold craft beer. Inside, the walls are lined with George Najour’s baseball trophies, classic pin‑ball machines, and a large flat‑screen TV that broadcasts every major sport, creating a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere for fans and casual diners alike. The menu focuses on hearty American bar fare: the signature George’s Classic Burger, topped with melted cheddar, caramelized onions, and house‑made sauce, is served with seasoned fries and a side salad. Other favorites include the BBQ chicken sandwich, the loaded nachos, and the daily soup of the day. Prices range from $10 for a burger to $18 for a full entrée, and the bar offers a rotating selection of local Georgia craft beers, as well as classic lagers and whiskeys. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., the restaurant welcomes families, sports fans, and anyone looking for a friendly neighborhood spot. The interior combines reclaimed wood tables, neon signage, and comfortable booth seating, while the patio provides a breezy outdoor setting shaded by string lights. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch, a weekend dinner, or a late‑night drink after a game, George’s delivers the nostalgic charm of a family‑run bar with modern culinary touches.
