About George's Corner

George's Corner is a neighborhood dive bar located on the max line, known for its friendly staff and a mix of regulars and visitors. The gambling area is busy, and there might be a wait, but the atmosphere remains welcoming with a home bar feel and a "Cheers" vibe. The place serves excellent JoJos, burgers, and really good fried chicken, making it a favorite for those craving comfort food. Since its remodel, the interior and exterior look much nicer, and there is a large outdoor patio that is mostly covered and enclosed, perfect for outdoor dining.

Video poker machines and Oregon Lottery slot games are popular attractions, and the location across the street from the yellow line Max stop makes it easy to access by public transportation. The main level is wheelchair accessible, although entry to the back patio and video poker machines requires going through the side gate. Security is present on weekends, and the parking lot is monitored by cameras, even though it isn’t visible from inside. The full bar offers a variety of drinks, with some inconsistency in service, but the cooks remain friendly and professional.

Recent reviews highlight the bar’s good fried chicken and wings, with a clean interior and plenty of TVs showing sports. Customers enjoy the simple grilled cheese and tomato soup, while noting the fried chicken has a crispy exterior and moist inside. The bacon bleu burger is highly recommended, and fries are consistently crispy and well-prepared. Many appreciate the authentic dive bar atmosphere, despite the recent renovations shifting towards more of a sports bar vibe. Overall, George’s Corner remains a solid spot for great bar food, drinks, and a friendly neighborhood environment.
