The George Lounge has a long and colourful past. Like other basement bars it gained the nickname - the snakepit. During the 70s it was reserved for the roughest characters from around Melbourne, with locals calling it the Flying Jug for what used to happen once its patrons had had their fill.
During the nineties and naughties the George Public Bar was a pumping nightclub bar. There were lines outside and patrons packed in inside, and almost everyone who was 18 - 25 during these years has a story to tell about a night at the Snakepit.
Earlier this year the George Lounge had a little facelift, and is now ready for the next stage of its interesting life... as the George Lounge. Through the refit we tried to create a welcoming and comfortable cocktail lounge setting where you can come, relax and unwind while listening to great music in a luxe setting. Whether it's for a wedding, engagement, a birthday celebration or a corporate cocktail event, we are sure you will have a great evening with us.
Fine cocktails, fine spirits, great music and good times. Join us @ the George Lounge…
