The editorial take
George's Lounge runs a drink menu with unusual breadth for the price: cocktails, martinis, mules, shots, coffee cocktails, and alcoholic shakes, plus 24 classic beers, 8 crafts and seasonals, five wines by the glass, and hand-scooped milkshakes. The house Very Old-Fashioned uses clove-and-orange-peel-infused whiskey. A $10 draft flight and pitchers that serve five for the price of four make the beer list the center of gravity. Cocktails are $4-$7, wines $6-$8, shakes $4.99-$5.49.
- What should I order?
- Start with the George's Very Old-Fashioned, the house special built on VO whiskey infused with clove and orange peels, bitters, fresh squeezed orange, maple syrup, and ginger ale, available in a double sidewalk size. For beer, the $10 draft flight covers the crafts and seasonals list, which includes Bell's Two Hearted and Jackie O's Mystic Mama.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a broad, inexpensive list rather than a narrow craft focus. The beer program suits anyone comparing styles via the $10 flight, while the six-section cocktail menu, coffee cocktails, and alcoholic shakes cover sweeter and warmer directions. Wine drinkers get five by-the-glass options, and non-drinkers get six hand-scooped shakes plus a non-alcoholic BrewDog.
- When should I go?
- A $10 draft flight and pitchers that serve five at the price of four make this a reasonable stop for a group comparing beers. The coffee cocktails and alcoholic shakes extend the list into dessert territory.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $4-$7, martinis $5-$7, and mules $4-$6. Wines by the glass are $6-$8, and any bottle (five glasses) is sold for the price of four glasses. The draft flight is $10. Hand-scooped shakes are $4.99, with the Dutch apple pie shake at $5.49.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu is split into six sections: cocktails, martinis, mules, shots and shooters, coffee cocktails, and shakes from the bar. The house Old-Fashioned uses clove-and-orange-peel-infused whiskey and comes in a double sidewalk size. The beer list pairs 24 classics with 8 crafts and seasonals, including some made in Ohio.
