DJ IS AWESOME!!! Place is very clean, drinks are good and strong. Crowd is adult, just want to have fun people. They have a nice pool table and a smoking are that does not crowd the dance floor or rest of the club. Free parking out front! Awesome place all in all. A must visit.

Friendly service and a nice patio on the west side of the building. The bathrooms are a bit strange if you need to sit down.

I have been a customer here for 7 years. When visiting and more so now that I'm a regular. The garage has had its ups and downs. Every business does. The staff and customers are absolutely the best. If you want to drink and socialize inside or on the huge patio. ( where you can actually see people on the street) this is the place. Visit soon and find out for yourself.
