44/100

A total letdown from start to finish.

The club's overall lackluster experience is due to its poor atmosphere and unimpressive performers. While the staff is friendly, it's not enough to redeem the club's many shortcomings. All-around, it's a forgettable experience.

How this is scored

More like a dive than a destination.

The property's low score is due to its cramped and dimly lit space, making it feel more like a dive than a destination. The location is also a bit off the beaten path, which may deter some visitors. However, the staff is welcoming and tries to make up for the property's shortcomings.

Friendly staff, but they can't save the rest.

The service staff is friendly and attentive, but the rest of the club's amenities fall short. The bar service is slow, and the drinks are overpriced, making it a frustrating experience. Despite this, the staff's professionalism and respect for customers make it a redeeming quality.

Don't bother with the food, stick to the drinks.

The food at this club is a major letdown, with overpriced and unappetizing options. The drink selection is the only redeeming quality, with a decent selection of cocktails and beers. However, the food quality is subpar, making it a hard sell for visitors.

Talented dancers, but not worth the hassle.

The performers at this club are talented and engaging, but the experience is marred by the club's poor atmosphere and unimpressive amenities. The VIP area is also overpriced and not worth the cost. Despite this, the dancers' professionalism and interaction with customers make it a highlight of the experience.

70/100 SW score
Solid neighborhood spot if you know what to expect George & I is what it is—a no-frills corner bar with dancers and cheap beer. The $6 drinks are legit, no cover charge, and the bartenders keep things moving. Just go in knowing there's no privacy here; everything happens at the bar in full view. The dancer pool skews older, but you get what you pay for in Newark.

Cramped and aggressive on the wallet Went for a bachelor party weekend and left underwhelmed. The single pole stage is tiny, dancers kept pushing drinks hard, and we dropped over $100 in about an hour without realizing it. Street parking is sketchy and you gotta tip the car watchers. It's more dive bar than strip club—not the vibe we were looking for.
80/100 SW score
Keep your expectations low and you'll have fun I've been going to George & I for years. Yeah, the place is small and the dancers aren't getting any younger, but there's a real community feel here. Locals know the staff, drinks are cheap, and nobody's pretending to be fancy. Just don't expect luxury or privacy—it's a neighborhood bar where dancers happen to work.
