Garage Door is an Oakland staple. Anyone who has ever been a student of Pitt has frequented this local bar. One of the best things about Garage Door is that it not only attracts Pitt students, but also a fair amount of the few local South Oakland residents as well. The crowd is always interesting, the beer is cheap, there's plenty of games, karaoke, and usually enough space to feel comfortable. In the summer when the garage doors are open, it's even better!
They may be a little brash and close minded, but it's their right as a business to treat their customers however they want, I guess... !
