George's Corner — Restaurant in Portland

I have come to this place often. Recently I broke my ankle and have not been able to bare weight on it. I am currently using a mobility aid, a knee scooter, and I cannot get out much or often except for work. I decided to go to George's since it was off the max line on the way home from work for a burger. I entered, went to the bathroom, and upon exiting the bathroom to go to the bar, overheard something like "you can't have that thing in here." I assumed it was not me the bartender was talking to, so I proceeded to the bar. Upon getting to the bar, the bartender said something like "Are you kidding me? Get that thing out of here!" I was shocked. I showed her my broken leg and explained that it was broken. She then said she didn't care and to get out. I reached out to the bar via their Facebook page and was basically told it was my fault for having a "recreational" scooter in there and it was a safety hazard, and because temporary disabilities are not cover by ADA, there was no problem. Whether this was an ADA violation or not. It was straight up rude and I will NEVER go back, even though I have been someone who frequents there often. Good riddance...

This used to be one of the corner neighborhood bars where everybody knows your name and had the best burgers with exceptional service and a great staff. As we packed up and drove across town on a Friday night to revisit the goid old memories we stopped here. It took an unusual amount of time to be acknowledged as we stood at the bar, menus in hand waiting to order. The server was heavy in conversation and just seemed to walk on by helping everyone else. Really made us feel like we were, not worth his time. The burgers were alright we had to wait an excessive time for ketchup and unfortunately had to wait again for napkins, both of us not wanting to go through the wait and see if someone would take the time to even notice us, we turned in our lottery tickets and left. What a bummer, it really was a great place, now it's lost the original Portland charm and basically was a waste...

Perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. Sure, it looks like it doubles as a meth den from the outside. But walk inside. Ignore the stares as everyone seated at the bar turns to look at you. They're just curious about the new stranger. Grab a seat at the spacious wrap around bar and order a craft beer and shot for less than a Hamilton. Grab a surprisingly tasty burger or even more surprisingly tasty vegan burger that's one of those fancy new vegan patties that looks, feels, tastes, and bleeds like real meat. Fancy. You like Big Buck Hunter? Of course you do, you're not a sociopath. They've got a machine that's calibrated and in great condition. Only a buck per play. But you already knew that, you big strong elk killer. More than anything, treat the bartenders right. They have to deal with the likes of you. Filthy...
