"Wander through a parking garage to find the entrance to this downtown cocktail bar. Don’t worry, the vibe inside the space is much better than outside, with dim lighting, a large circular bar, and intimate tables. Garage serves classic cocktails and an oft-rotating menu of original creations." - Erin Russell
"Located in a parking garage Downtown, Garage Bar feels like you’re entering the secret lair of a Fast & Furious movie villain. Once you make it into the concrete cave, follow the big cocktail sign over some parked cars and to the main entrance. Inside are a bunch of tables centered around a round, white granite bar. There’s a blend of classic cocktails and in-house creations, but we’ve found the bartenders are also pretty good at coming up with something on the spot. You don’t need a reservation, but we’d recommend grabbing one if you’re coming on a weekend—it can get about as packed as the garage racing scene from Tokyo Drift. " - nicolai mccrary
