Garage In Aust - North Browning

CLASSY! Very intimate, candle lit and relatively affordable for a speakeasy. Definitely crowded for sure, seating is first come, but drinks were good and bar staff was mostly attentive. Love how there is a cute smoking area outside.

We had a great experience. Our bartender Pablo was very knowledgeable and made us custom cocktails that weren’t on the menu that were so good. We went early so it wasn’t too busy but it definitely started to fill up by the time we left. Not the easiest to find but I think that’s by design

Omg what a cute unsuspecting bar! wandered in with my bf, we waited a lil while and went inside. the drinks taste like the bartenders are hitting on you.. FANTASTIC and somehow sexy???! I had this amazing mezcal drink that blew my MIND . ty ty ty

Super cool spot and for those curious it’s enclosed and has a/c. 10/10 would recommend

I'd give six stars if I could. Location fantastic, parking is (obviously) very close, easy to locate thence or from the 4th Street bars a few steps away. Atmosphere great for a cocktail bar where you want to actually be able to talk without yelling. Low light but enough to read a menu, layout lends itself to easy access to the bar from any seat. Seating is a little tight but the host/ ess is maintaining a steady flux so you'll always be able to find a seat once inside. Service incredible staff. Knowledgeable, attentive, passionate about their craft. I had two drinks from the menu about which they knew the ins and outs of the components, as well as a boulevardier. For the latter they asked what I liked, and unprompted brought out three recommendations with a full rationale and personal opinion on each. Was blown away by the care put into the drinks, and of course the recs were spot on and perfect. Drinks could not be improved upon. Incredible variety across the signature menu, and flawless execution on rudiments. For once it felt like the cocktails were crafted rather than assembled, with a keen focus on balance. One of my general experiential observations is that when an establishment lists citric acid or saline in a drink, they demonstrate that they know what they're doing in complementing and contrasting flavors, and in doing so Garage does not disappoint. The En Passant and Penicillin do an absolutely unbelievable job at presenting an impeccable bouquet of flavors, without being too heavyhanded or too dim with any notes. It is an art that I appreciate considerably because it is born of a talent that I cannot recreate at home. For that reason I am continually drawn back to Garage, which I consider one of the best cocktail bars in the state. If you are considering going to Garage, stop considering, and go.
