This was my second trip to Bob's Garage just multiple years apart! I met a great friend here for Happy Hour. Some immediate thoughts...
Ahhh, Freeport Road...Not the easiest to get in and out of, especially if you are departing on 28!
As reported in other posts, you can still smoke in here. They do have a non-smoking room but it still smells like smoke and was 80 degrees.
Food. This is an after thought! My friend and I both ordered burgers...got our orders wrong, reversed them as well. Greasy.
Tabs...got our tabs cashed out early and the next waitress had the couldn't be bothered approach.
Beer...Mostly domestic on tap. Reasonable price.
Lights...Christmas lights are the staple here. Griswold style is up until early February do you have time to enjoy!
To make a long story short, this is a dive bar that found its niche with the Christmas lights. Past that, lots of locals and not a lot of reason to stop. Eight years since my first visit, and I'm good for another eight!
