Georgies opened in 1999. In addition to its regular weekly programming, the bar has been the site of a number of larger events and fundraisers. During the holiday season of 1999, Georgies founded the Asbury Park Toy Drive for local children; the charity event subsequently grew into an annual, citywide undertaking. The bar regularly hosts Pride celebrations and afterparties for Asbury Park's yearly Pink Prom, which raises funds for the Ali Forney Center and for Project REAL, a local organization that supports gay and bisexual men. In the wake of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Georgies implemented new security measures, including the use of a hand-held metal detector at the door. Additionally, municipal law enforcement increased its presence around all queer establishments in Asbury Park. The following year, Georgies held a benefit event in remembrance of the shooting, donating the proceeds of the evening to Project REAL.
