Nice venue!
My friend and I came to 888 Garage for Gravagerz on a Saturday night. This is a small garage that's a short walk from the main entrance to The Midway. The security was pretty thorough and they provided a sticker to cover everyone's phone cameras. We got through quickly and with no issues.
When you enter, there is a small courtyard where they had some tables, restrooms, and the bar. The bar, of course, was pricy but served good (but slightly small) drinks. The bartenders were very personable and friendly though. Luckily throughout the night, the lines for the bar stayed short. The bathroom situation was strange, however. There were many stalls available but literally only three of them had doors. Yes, you read that correctly. No doors! The toilets faced the line of people waiting for the three stalls that actually had doors. This meant the lines for these were quite long and the restrooms themselves weren't well-maintained. Because everyone was using the same toilets, they ran out of toilet paper and people resulted to using paper towels from the neighboring stalls. At least they weren't porta-potties!
The venue itself is quite cool. We bought early-entry tickets at a discounted price - we just had to show up before 10:00pm. When we arrived, it was super empty. Even as it filled up throughout the night, it did not feel overly crowded. Despite being on the smaller side of warehouse venues in the area, it felt spacious and open. Overall, the music and vibes were great!
I would definitely come back, I had a ton of fun! read more
