George's bar?

I'm a little confused as to the location of George's bar!! Having read another article on here saying it's on the flat and good for beginners ,I thought Georges bar was the pub at the bottom of the World cup run on Popangelov ski run ,if this isn't Georges bar what is it called?

re: George's bar?

Are you talking about the bar you can see on the webcams or the hotel?

The hotel is the Yastrebets Spa (I think) but I don't know the name of the pub.

Georges Bar is a small hut on the Royal Residence or Georges run, the big green on the Rila side of the mountain.

It's called the Finish Line...we call it dead mans corner! If you've been there you probably know why!

The finish line Im sure. But dead mans corner sounds about right. Saw a guy break his Pelvis there 2 years ago!

Think your right Scubascam,
When you see how some of the 'bullets' come down from Yestrebets 2 and join with 3 into that narrow corner!

The finishing post is a great stop for lunch!

While were talking about bar names, what is the bar called across from the old Bobby's Bar (golden chicken), it has a big tree trunk in the middle of the floor with nails hammered into it?
