“ I love this place. I go after work weekly, and a great hole in the wall bar. They have awesome drink deals, and free pool. I like it way better than the other bar owned by the same people. ”
“ The coolest, most stylish, and most quirked-up people in Denver are hiding on the Bannock Street Garage back patio btw ”
“ I came here last night for the Quadzilla Zine release party and loved the vibe of this bar! It was way cuter than the pictures on Yelp show. I wish I would've thought to take pictures of the interior but, alas, I was living in the moment and enjoying myself too much! I guess you could call the spot a dive bar, but I felt like it was one or two notches above a dive bar. They have top shelf liquor for purchase, a good selection of beers, and specialty shots. I ordered a Tanqueray and 2 specialty shots and the total was just under $20. They had beers for $5 and they even had a PBR, shot of whiskey, and a random cigarette for $6. Lol There was also free popcorn! There were a lot of things to do including 2 pool tables, 2 dartboards, and the hook ring toss game that's super fun. The interior had neon signs from old gas stations, and re-purposed car seats for seating. It was definitely mechanic themed, but without all of the toxic masculinity. This is a cute vibe for rockabilly folks or queers. My favorite part was the music! It was a mid 2000s Indie vibe, with a couple retro/modern bangers thrown in. I hadn't heard the songs from Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette in decades and it brought me back. Overall a super cute place, great service, wonderful bartenders, and a great vibe! This is new favorite bar in Denver. ”
“ Cool environment for a bar, they hosted the Stanley cup here with a big projector screen, they often show sports games on the TVs as well. good prices on drinks, they have a pool table and a darts board. Spacious back patio with several tables, chairs, sunbrellas, and some covering for rain. ”
“ Great divey spot near Speer. We came here during a Friday night out. We heard they have awesome live music, but at the time they did not have it. The drinks are reasonably priced and there is plenty of space Indoor and outside to chat and drink. The highlights for me was the free fresh salty popcorn they allow you to self serve as well as the pool table and dart board games they have available ”
“ And just like that, Bannock Street Garage has become one of my favorite little dive bars in Denver! It's located right by my loft but has lots of free & easy street parking around. Great drinks, friendly staff, games, & patios... what more do you need?! It's one of the cleaner dive bars in Denver too... high ceilings with more windows & it's brighter than most. The back door is a big garage door (hence the name) and it's often open to let in a lot of fresh air & natural light! They have heaters on the patios in front & out back too. The head bartender (Ang) is sooo sweet, great memory & always so accommodating. They have a great selection of liquor & beer (bottle or draft) & the prices are always great too!! I love playing being able to play pool & darts so close to home in a bar that feels like a little home away from home :) All in all, Garage Bar is my new favorite spot in Denver... totally my style with things to do, great drinks, and most importnatly, amazingly sweet staff! ”
“ One thing I want to get out of the way: I see this place being called a "dive bar," but those reviews are fake (unless they are five stars; then they're real). There is no diving board in this bar, just smooth cold ones and delicious bevvies. Whenever I do a review of a bar, I try to live by my favorite quote about bars: "Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life." - Ricky Martin (RIP) To me, this place lives up to that quote to a T. I was there last night and people were hanging around, drinking brews, talking about bacon, and listing their favorite Nicolas Cage fingers and toes (his left pinky toe is number one of all lists, everyone knows this). Pretty much a perfect night. Please let me know if there are any typos in my review because Yelp is my life. ”
“ Good vibes, good drinks, hot bartenders! You can't go wrong!! Also, great daily specials! Best nights are Tuesday thru Friday! PS: Sasha, the super bitchy bartender w extremely well done tattoos (shout out to Brandon Huckabey at Marion Street), is not only hot as fuck, but makes a mean drink! Come for the drink specials, stay for the drink specials. ”
