“ Heard about this place and wanted to try it out. It's located in the Gaslamp district and is very family friendly. They have happy hour 3pm-6pm everyday. That included 51% off all drinks and $3 off all apps. I loved the ahi tuna poke nachos! They were delicious and will definitely get these again. There wasn't much of a wait and they got us seated within 10 minutes during happy hour. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a more casual vibe! ”
“ Great happy hour burger deal. Definitely the place to go before a padres game if you can get down early. Only downside is they did not turn the game on once it started. Food was excellent and drinks were a good deal too. Hubby enjoyed a beer while I had a dirty Shirley ”
“ Amazing my server Leo did an amazing job serving us I felt comfortable and at home with the experience and would recommend anyone looking for an chill and relaxed vibe ”
“ My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place while walking around looking for a place to eat. We got there at a good time they had happy hour going on so we ordered the Ahi Nachos and side of fries. Omg the nachos were so good! The serving size was big, enough to feed two people. The food and service were great! Servers kept checking in on us and were very attentive. The vibes were great, music was good and food was amazing! I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to others! ”
“ FOOD I had a buffalo sandwich and it wasn't great, def wouldn't get it again. It was super fried, felt like it was twice fried. Hard to bite/eat. I love buffalo sandos usually, but this was much. The fries were pleasant :) salted perfectly SERVICE The staff was kind and friendly AMBIANCE Nice space. Cool for group gatherings, not necessarily a date spot. Would come back for different items if in the area and hungry. ”
“ The bar is located right next to the Shout House. We went here for Happy Hour before our party next door. They had a great happy hour with 51% off drinks, excluding some specialty cocktails. Some of the food items were $2-3 off. We ordered a lot of drinks and food. It was good bar food. My favorites were the Ahi nachos and Carne Asada fries. The 5 side chicken wings were a little plain and shrimp tacos were soggy that night. ”
“ Brought my friends here for brunch, they loved it. They are pretty original with the breakfast cereal shots! Crowd pleaser for sure. This place is a fun place at night too, overall cool spot! ”
“ Garage Kitchen and Bar in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. Limited street parking. Private garage parking was under 40 bucks which was ouchie :( and we still had to walk 3 blocks, not happy when inconvenienced. The garage is quiet honestly a sports bar with full bar service, a restaurant with multiple tv screens in a brick walled space with additional seating upstairs, indoor and outdoor. The owner is a Minnesota football Vikings fan and many customers do come here frequently to support the Vikings football team and watch the games. My friend is of Norwegian descent and is a hugh Vikings fan and birds of a feather flick together... lots of Vikings here :) Ironically, it's been since 1992 that the Vikings won at home against the 49ers. Todays game and ultimate Vikings win was a nail biter, exciting and fun. I like to think that Fendi and I being present here were Lucky Charms for the teams win lol The menu offered is Sunday brunch with limited selections. I was disappointed that wings, pizza and pasta were not on this brunch menu. I instructed our waiter to tell the owner, that's what we wanted or we would leave. Evidently the owner and kitchen staff agreed and accommodated my request. Because when watching NFL football, you should be able to eat whatever you want regardless of the time of day, especially wings! Ordered the buffalo wings naked with the dipping sauce on the side. Also tried the wings with asian spices called Beijing wings and they were delectably good. Again, during sports events on tv, the menus should offer popular football foods all day long. Service by the staff was great, our waiters today and from our previous visit were great. Staff were attentive, nice and followed up to make sure we were good. Our table and other tables were cleared immediately. The crowd around me were mostly Vikings fans and they were all loud and vocal. All our positive energy helped the Vikings win. Everyone was feeling good. Go Vikings!! The Garage made it a fun experience. Recommend. ”
