Inventive cocktails in a hip, midcentury-inspired space within a parking garage
"Located in a parking garage Downtown, Garage Bar feels like you’re entering the secret lair of a Fast & Furious villain. Once you make it into the concrete cave, follow the big cocktail sign 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, matthew jacobs
"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
"Visitors love hidden things. Particularly hidden bars where they can feel like they’re in on a secret. This cocktail spot is located inside a parking garage at the corner of 6th and Colorado and has a round, white granite bar with concrete pillars jutting out that will further convince your friend that you’ve taken them to a cool spot. If you and/or your friends hate lines, make a reservation online or get here on the early side—they keep the crowds very much in check." - nicolai mccrary, chelsea bucklew, katherine lewin
"The downtown bar is located in, you guessed it — a parking garage. Reservations are highly encouraged at this tiny bar, where you might envision Dom Toretto orating about family. Look for the “cocktails” neon sign over parked cars to spot the entrance off of Fifth and Colorado and enjoy inventive sips in the mid-century style concrete room. There are indoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler
