Robert T. George (born 1980-1981) is an American restaurateur known for his restaurants in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio. George, via his company Ethos Hospitality Group, owns and operates TownHall, Barley House, FWD, Mandrake Rooftop, and REBoL, among other businesses.
George's career and businesses have been the subject of numerous controversies and legal issues. These have consisted of a high-profile altercation with social media personalities at Barley House club in 2017, multiple protests at his venues related to the COVID-19 pandemic and other social issues, and legal challenges involving George himself, including a lawsuit against the city of Cleveland for pandemic restrictions and a 2024 arrest on multiple felony charges, though George's charges were later reduced down to a single felony of attempted strangulation. George pled guilty to this single charge in November 2025.
