George's is a comfy, neighborhood friendly tavern right in the middle of the Virgina Highlands. George's has been family owned and operated since 1961 and has become a Highlands' institution. George's plays host to numerous neighborhood functions, such as the weekly running group that meets here every Wednesday evening. Come watch your favorite sporting event on of our TVS and enjoy one of our famous hand pattied burgers made from 100% ground chuck beef and char-broiled to perfection.

The Scene
It's a slice of Americana filling two essential niches, a bar-lover's bar and a burger-lover's heaven. It's like a cleaner Moe's & Joe's with a bigger, better burger. Established in 1961, George's hasn't changed much and therein lies the charm. During the warmer months, patrons prefer to kick back with a beer and a burger at one of the outside tables. Venture inside and find 1960s-era booths, video games, TVs, sports memorabilia, and a musty bar in the back. Over the years, it's become a bit rough around the edges, but the no-pretense atmosphere, prime Highland locale and affordable comfort food give this burger joint enough appeal to make it a popular hangout. Burgers--big or small, plain or smothered in Swiss cheese and mushrooms--have gained quite a devout local obsession. Although there's a hit-or-miss quality to them, a $5 basket of comfort grub will make just about anyone happy.
