George's has stood on Dickson Street beside the railroad tracks since 1927, when it opened as a restaurant, bar and general store and became, along the way, among the area's first integrated rooms. Bands have played there ever since, most nights of the week, with a happy-hour concert on Fridays; Consequence of Sound named it Best Hometown Venue in the Southeast in 2023. Nearly a century on, the music still finds its way back to the same room by the tracks.
