  What a cool fun bar! I went here on a Friday night when the weather was perfect for sitting outside! But even if you're seating inside, the bar has plenty of windows that open up to the outside allowing the breeze to flow through.
  
  This bar has two inside bars, multiple Jumbo size Jenga(s) outside which are free to play, and live music outside on the weekends. They also have a restroom outside on the side wrapped patio, making it easy for patrons sitting outside. If you are sitting outside you will have an assigned waiter, to take your order which is great.
  
  Not only do they offer a full bar but they have a food menu as well, which includes a variety of options including:  Garage Grill Cheese options, Salads, Vegetarian options, Sandwiches, Philly options, Quesadillas, Nachos, Sliders, Flat Bread Pizzas, Spinach and Artichoke dip, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, and Garage chips/Secret Garage Sauce.
  
  From the draft options I chose the Cigar City Golden Ale, which had a light refreshing taste and brewed in Tampa, Fl. I would definitely order this beer again, as it had a pear-like fruitiness with an herbaceous hop aroma(s), made for easy drinking. :)
  
  From the food menu, we ordered:
  
  ·         Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: unfortunately the Hummus didn't have much flavor, so I added hot sauce (Sriracha) but the pita bread was warm and fresh.
  ·         Garage Chips w/ Secret Garage Sauce: This was a great snack, which comes with Ruffle potato chips and Secret Garage Sauce for dipping. The sauce is hard to describe and since it is a secret, we couldn't get the details out of the server haha but it was sweet, tangy, with little heat, which went great with the salty chips. I would definitely order again.
  
  The outside Jenga and live music makes this a great place to socialize with friends, or meet new friends. If you have a dog they also allow dogs on the patio, for those walking and decide they want to stop and enjoy the festivities. :)
  
  I will definitely be back as this place was full of life, and the waiter was so helpful and always came by to see if we needed anything else... so if you haven't been...hope to see you there soon!

  Out of all the bars on King Street - The Garage is by far my favorite. Probably because I love eating and I can somewhat get a little bit of space in this area. Service here can vary. I find myself almost always going up to the bar and ordering my food or drinks as the wait staff here can take a lifetime to get your order.
  
  The outdoor patio is great and there's usually a good crowd here. The potato chips are nothing to write home about but the sauce they give you with it is pretty darn good.

  Ended up here after disappointing service elsewhere just intending to have one last drink before heading home. We ended up staying until closing. Our server Lexi was friendly, efficient, and kept us entertained. Will definitely be back to check out the menu soon!

  So it's been almost a week since my visit and to be real... I'm still a little salty.
  
  Top for the weary... always ask and verify when ordering food if descriptions, etc are vague. It was save you in the long run.
  
  Met up for HH with some coworkers. Drinks were good/cheap and our server Cat/Kat (not sure... Could be wrong altogether) was awesome. Music was good and outdoor seating was plentiful.
  
  Tip... those house chips on the menu... they aren't house MADE chips. So don't expect some freshly sliced and fried and perfectly salted russet potatoes to come out to the table. Expect potato chips. Yes, chips. Literally a bag of ruffles... could have been off brand style ruffles... who in tarnation knows! Everyone at the table was shocked and I was way to embarrassed to be like "Yeah... sorry, we thought these were going to be anything other than a bag of ruffles". Who serves ruffles as an appetizer??!!! The garage does lol at least it was cheaper than buying a bag at Publix!
  
  2 stars because I'm bitter, petty and still feeling slightly shaded.

  Love this place. The chicken sliders are sooo good . Plenty of meat on them. They even toast the bun. Great atmosphere! Clean bathrooms . Staff was very friendly.
