A good clean dive bar, packed on Friday. Atmosphere was good. Robert picked up our glasses when we were done. It was a nice experience. Bartenders were responsive and nice. read more

Bartender was extremely disrespectful. She was 100% drunk as well. Gave her my card and she lost it! owners seriously need to hire different bartenders. read more

I've been to this bar maybe 5 times. I never had a good feeling in there. The bartenders do not serve you unless they know you. They just hang with their friends who come to the bar and drink with them on the job. My lady asked me to take her there this past Saturday. Against my better judgement I took her. My you I'm from out of town n they always act like my id is fake. When we got there this time the bouncer told me I owed money. I was dumbfounded because I've never walked out on a tab in my life. So I went in looking for an explanation because I knew it had to be a mistake. I asked if they could tell me what dates this occurred on n they said "Thursday", which was the last time I was there. But on Thursday we didn't even buy a drink because there was no music playing when we walked in n I got a horrible feeling about being in there. So we left without getting anything. When I explained that to the manager, he said "well it was before Thursday then" I insisted on them showing me a record of this and he basically told me that I'm not getting my id back until I pay. I honestly feared for one and my fiancées safety in this moment. It felt like all there lil friends in the bar were ready to jump me if I protested further. I WAS ROBBED BY THIS ESTABLISHMENT. My theory is, their bartender was giving away free drinks the night we walked in. They saw we didn't buy any drinks on their record and they blamed a short tab on me. They probably thought someone from Jersey would never come back so the bartender could get away with blaming the black guy from out of town. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BAR! Especially if you're from out of town. The bar called Stooges around the corner is a much better vibe. They are super welcoming and I've never gotten any weird vibes from their staff. read more

Great owner, great bar tenders! Good location. Karaoke nite is great! Like playing pool there.

Drama, drama, drama. Came in to relax for half an hour before dinner with clients. Ordered simple drink. Bartender turns up music way to high for venue, then starts screaming at high shrill pitch with another female customer to hear each other because music is too loud. I am pretty sure she was drunk, could not even remember my previous drink from 15 minutes prior. Was engaging in conversation that would not be considered inappropriate in a bar but screaming it made it inappropriate. Owners should definitely have someone monitor her behavior. She was very nice, but ruined my experience at this venue. read more

Bartenders are the best in the area, you take care of them and they take care of you simple as that!

We had an amazing service there both the male and the female bartenders were super nice. The drink drinks that are probably the best price I found in a while and the overall atmosphere was super welcoming and comfortable!!! read more

Terrible attitude by the girl bartender with black hair! We didn't leave a tip because she was rude and then we were asked to leave. She said that's what you get when you don't tip. Maybe she should have earned her tip by giving halfway decent service. read more

I love drinking here when I'm DT Lodi. Would highly recommend to those looking for a low key spot to shoot some pool or chill at the bar and drink. I will be coming back! read more

Karaoke on Tuesdays is a blast! A lot of locals go here and it was fun to make new friends! The bartenders are super sweet and work at being as fast as they can considering how crowded it can get. Pool tables in the back if that's what you're into! read more

I just went to Gary's, brought a party of 5, spent $200 dollars, then 3 people asked for water and they kicked us out No one was drunk, inebriated or causing problems. We just wanted to control our intake and they kicked us out. Not ok. I will never go back. The whole place smelled like urine. read more

I was at Garry's Lounge the evening of August 25th, after the last farmer's market of the season for Lodi in 2022. Initially, I had a good time there after the market closed, but shortly after midnight, not late for civilized people, there was a fight by the pool tables inside this establishment. I didn't think much of it. I had some bags from the Lodi farmer's market, and I kept them with me inside the place and it was fine. But then, as I was leaving, there was an actual drive-by shooting, apparently related to a beef from inside the bar. I banged on the door, begging them to let me back inside to save my life, and they said, "Sorry, we're closed." But their hours said they were open until 2:00 am. and this was jus midnight. They left me outside in a gunfight while they were supposed to be open. This has to be the most callous, inhuman, despicable group of human beings staffing this place to leave someone who had spent hours there and tipped very well, outside their doors as people were being shot in the streets. I cannot imagine a more abject failure of basic humanity, much less customer service, from any establishment. This place should be shut down and never allowed to operate again. Anyone who was there on the evening of August 25th-26th should consider legal action against this horrible, dangerous, and uncaring blight on the city of Lodi. You can spend hours hanging out there and then suddenly find yourself in mortal danger, and their idiotic staff will lock you out and tell you "good luck." I have never experienced a worse, more unsafe bar than this one. You take your life into your own hands if you go there, and even if you are friendly with the staff, they will lock you outside to die while bullets fly. This is the worst, most dangerous bar in the entire country. Their staff just locked me outside an hour and a half before they were supposed to close and left me outside to die. read more

I love my girl Cherie she is the best bartender I ever experienced. First time at Garry's and she made us feel soo welcome. I will definitely be coming back, but only on the nights she's here! Mike is also the best bouncer and super personable. read more

Very well priced drinks and great people. My friends wanted to experience the best of Lodi and Garry's was truly the best.

Bartenders/security pick favorites and kick people out if their personal friends are harassing paying customers. Happened to me tonight when my friend group went straight to the security and bartender to let them know of the incident their friends were causing and instead kicked our party out to keep their friends in. Really shitty place. Used to always come here for karaoke but never again after that. Idk how to put negative stars so I'll just leave 1 read more

Always awesome. One of the best hole in the wall dive bars in the entire center valley!

This bar was our first one visiting into Lodi , despite the reviews we got welcomed in and enjoyed ourselves fully. Holly was a great bartender who was on top of her job & even though she was very busy. Can't wait to visit the town and come by again. read more

Holly the bartender has overcharged my card, made racist remarks about me ordering a model and kicked me out after addressing it. After living in Lodi for the past two years this is the bar I showed my loyalty and for that type of behavior to be casted on me I feel is unacceptable. I will not go back to this bar or no longer give them my business after bring thousand of dollars to said business respectfully . read more

Not a gay bar even though it came up as the first place under "Gay Bar" on google. I asked the bartender, she said Garry's Bar is gay friendly and they have quite a few gay regulars that pass through the bar, but not a gay bar. Good drink, nice bartender and friendly atmosphere though! read more

Bartenders especially the women are mean. There are too many drunks beyond what the law calls intoxicated. The drinks are horrible!

Came here around 6pm on a Saturday, and it was pretty dead. Drinks were made well. But unless you frequent this bar, the bartender really doesnt socialize with you. read more

Garry's Lounge - CROWN & COKE .. SHOT OF JACK - Lounges Near Me - Lodi, California

First time here and the vibe seem chill and pretty cool and I actually liked it here until my best friend waited for the women's restroom for 10+ mins and the girl before us waited at least 15 mins and THEN a man came to knock and said "hey, people are waiting!" People were waiting on the women's room and then as the gal before us went into the men's room u til my firms tried to but a guy in "staff" t shirt said no that's the men's room. I tried to inform him of our waiting situation but he did NOT want to here us out and that was when it went downhill! Yup; informed him to check on his patron but he didn't want to hear us out so yes. The other man in a black long sleeve w a faux hawk was kind and said yea, go for it when it came to using the men's room. So therefore, it wasn't a complete fail. Also, I have to add... another gal went to A N O T H E R to use the restroom. Because she did not want to wait. Ummmmmmmmmmmm yesssssss thatsssssss a no in my book. So as far as bar service it was great! I enjoyed my drink besides the fact that he didn't hear exactly what I want lmao. Besides all of that it was a good time. PS my girlfriends made in into the restroom and apparently there was throw up all over the floor and the girl that locked herself in the restroom had gotten carried out via ambulance .... but once we got into the restroom the toilet seat was broken and.... you know.. we are seriously sorry we knocked out elbow on your drink guy.... no one was trying to take your drink: lmao guys'd this was totally the wrong time to come to your establishment but your drink was a thumbs up! Hahahah it's just everything that happened In Between....: I mean I'm sure that all of these doesn't pertain to the owners (besides the staff man that informed us read more

Garry's Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Lodi, California

It's giving me speakeasy 100 years ago vibes. Really chill place. The female bartenders run their bar like they should, and they'll tell you how it is. This place isn't run predominantly by any certain group so all are welcome read more

I use to love this bar. I would come all the time to see Wayne. Very disappointed when I came in and asked where Wayne was the blonde bartender was extremely rude. She also was disrespectful when we made a comment that our bachelorette was in Lodi. I will not return due to her attitude in general. read more

Aw, yes....Garry's Lounge. Garry's is pretty much what a Lodi bar should be- a comfy dive with cheap drinks, great jukebox, and a pool table. The drinks aren't the stiffest around, but for the price they do the job. A good age mix populate the place too. I often run into someone I haven't seen in forever there, which is pretty cool. I considered giving the places 5 stars simply for having NATURAL LIGHT ON TAP. HAHA! I've never seen that before. Actually, that should probably be a negative star, but eh...it's a cool place to hang out with friends. read more

Went here and got 1 drink for me and one drink for my lady. The charge on my credit card was something like $17. Nice time... no problem. They Bartender then MISTAKENLY charged my card an additional $73. He told me about it and then told me he fixed it. WELL he didn't! I'm now arguing a credit card charge back and this sucks! When I called no one picked up the phone forever. FINALLY, I got Mike on the phone after calling a million times. He is the same bartender that screwed up my transaction. He told me I had to come into the bar and "prove" it wasn't me. How would I prove my girlfriend and I didn't spend 73 dollars???? I told him I'd have to do a credit card chargeback then and he was happy to tell me that would be a great route to go. This is a nightmare! Your bar is awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Worst service Ive ever experienced. Last night was busy and the bartenders have no clue how to operate in a busy environment. I was trying to get the bartender's attention for at 30 minutes to order a drink. I saw other people along the bar doing the same. The bartenders would just randomly select someone to take their order and it was usually someone who just walked up. One guy walked up, reached over the bar, tapped a bartender on the shoulder and ordered and the bartender made his drink. Couldn't believe it. Got so frustrated my friends and I all left. read more

Here's a awesome spot with the locals to enjoy great folks and excellent drinks! I have this spot bookmarked. read more

Great service. Inexpensive drinks. Since moving to Lodi I've tried many bars and by far this is mine and my husbands favorite spot!! read more

See all

Yes, I am giving this bar only 2 stars. I've been here several times. It seems like each time, my experiences are less and less favorable. So, last night I took my friend from Reno out to some "Lodi" bars. I thought Garry's would be a fun place to start. I was completely wrong. The bartender was having a rough night, I will give her that. However, that's not my problem. We ordered our drinks. My friend got a beer & I got the worse mix drink I have ever tasted. It took a long time for the draft beer to be poured & I could see the bartender kind of hiding the flow of the beer, which I thought was weird, but whatever. My friend drank her flat beer & I tried to drink my mixed drink but it was just gross. When I told the bartender that my drink was too sweet, she told me that I ordered a sweet drink so what did I expect. I laughed it off but I thought it was completely rude. When my friend ordered her second beer. This is when the bartender says that her CO2 was out & she did not know how to change it. So, there was no beer. She didn't offer my friend anything else in place of draft beer. So, we left & ventured out to some other "Lodi" bars & had a better experience. read more

Bartenders don't know their drinks and have incredibly rude customer service. I asked for a water and was told they don't serve water. The guy was a real jerk. The other bartenders wouldn't even acknowledge us. I was with a group of 6 people too. We w o update have bought more drinks but we were all disgusted with the rude and egotistical service. I would never go back to this place nor would recommend it to anyone. This bar caters to the lowly and ignorant in spirit. The only difference between this place and McDonald's is that McDonald's has good customer service. The epitome of garbage and zero care for customer service. read more

Garry's is a classic. One of Lodi's originals! Dark and musky on the inside, equipped with a jukebox, a couple of pool tables and a few friendly bartenders. Garry's used to be a place that only old men would frequent. Those days are long gone. Garry's attracts a good mix of young and old. In fact, on a Friday or Saturday night you may have to arrive early if you don't want to be stuck without a place to sit. A great place to stop in for a drink! read more

Great little place to kick back and enjoy a few drinks. Full of locals, but very friendly place. Customers and staff are awesome, we're new to LODI living and this is our new "place". read more

Good little bar with cheap drinks and friendly people. They have an Internet Jukebox which is a blast because you hear all styles of music throughout the night. The decor is very bland and a bit dated, but it is always clean. The older regulars come in during the day and stay until about 8:30. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights the place gets very crowded and the age group is more like 21-35. Garry's is always a fun place to hangout! read more

Karaoke Tuesday on 9-11-19 was fun especially with a great bartender named Ellie taking care of business & with a great pretty smile & attitude. read more

Never been here before and my boyfriend brought me here. Only to be Harassed by Security with a man bun. It's not ok when you see someone walk in with there other half and your Security flirts! Not to mention he owned up to it and said he did like it was no big deal. This was so unProfessional in so many levels. It made me feel so Uncomfortable! Not to mention the other Security didn't help but egg the situation on. I'm sure to tell other people not to come here! Never in my life have I've been so disrespected in a bar by its employees.! Don't come to this bar! read more

Chill vibe. Not racist! Can play pool or shoot darts. Very cool staff. Super chill place to grab a drink and play around of pool without feeling as if a fight is going to break out. Might even see nick diaz around read more

Came in on my birthday and was treated RIGHT!!! S/O to Joe for making the best drinks on my birthday. I respect Joe for being here for 5 years and working hard to pay for his kids. Making quite the experience for a first time. Aaron was quite the h and host. Be sure to keep him in mind for making sure guests are comfy. Thank you guys for the great first 21st experience ! read more

Apparently if the bartenders don't know you, they don't give you service. Multiple times I tried to get drinks but they were too busy taking shots with each other and other patrons. Pathetic. Owner should know that this is happening under their nose. And it smells. Sorry. I hate to give bad reviews. But hate being ignored when Im trying to spend money more. read more

Seems like an ok dive bar... Just be sure to bring money to change the music unless you like country twang... Solid drinks....
