Everything we tried was really good too! Something for everyone certainly. Parking is mostly on the street but we made it work! Service was friendly once they waited on us, but they seemingly ignored us as we stood at the bar, so that was weird / they need better signage for where to order. Otherwise a great experience.

Bikes and beer. What a great concept. I guess that's why helmets were invented…read more After having a couple at the Swinging Bridge, my buddy said that he had a cool place to take me next. NEXT!!! Next? Oh, I forgot that I'm in Wisconsin. There's always a next in Wisconsin. Where I'm from, you usually plant yourself in one location and hope that they find your curled up self in a corner before they close. Such as it is, let's do this. As we made our way to the backside of the Garage, we find ourselves part of a scattered group of revelers who were all imbibing of the product. That product being, of course, beer. The equal of humanity. The handshake of nations. The reason for our visit. And for good reason, the purpose was to indulge, and that we did. My buddy suggested that we get a jump on the season and have an Oktoberfest. I had to remind him that it being the waning days of September, we were already in the midst. Oktoberfest was well under way. "Semantics, he said, let's just get a damn beer!" Good idea, John, good idea. We both chose an Oktoberfest. Ice cold it arrived to the bar mat, and ice cold it went down. The day was unusually warm for this time of year, so the cold beverage was a treat as we lounged in the Adirondack chairs under the tarp. This was the life. Not a care in the world. Relaxing and watching as the world passed by. Which included a string of pearls who were on parade. Each flaunting their late summer attire. An unexpected pleasure? Or is this the norm for The Garage Bikes and Brew. I'd say that it's worth a repeat visit. Wouldn't you? Quick Tip: There's a stage under the big top. Music can be had if you time it right. Seems our timing is never right. Such was the case on this occasion. The band was packing up when we settled in. We didn't pack it in though. We stayed and enjoyed the beer, and the scenery.

It was hot, sunny, there were flies and bees--yet we could only sit outside. I selected this place because of it's supposed atmosphere, beer & drink menus, and food. Since we weren't given, told about or offered beer and drink menus (in addition to being forced to sit outside after we asked to sit inside), that meant atmosphere and menus were negatives. My Mom and niece ordered the chicken, bacon, ranch wraps with fries and thought they were good. I ordered the fish & chips and upgraded my side to cheesy chive hash browns. The lime-radish slaw was dry and bland, the fish was fishy so I doused it with all the juice from my lemon slices that I could, but the hash browns were yummy. Our waitress was okay, but the bartender was the real star, making drinks, running inside to get our meals and deliver them, plus deliver ranch and ketchup later.

Wait staff were extremely friendly and prompt and the menu offered great choices. We especially loved the fried ranch appetizer which is a take on the State Fair classic. Great options for burgers, sandwiches and pizza. The Lumberyard felt like a cozy cabin and a great place to watch sports. Cons The drinks especially the mocktails, what always gets me is if prices are not published and when the bill came I saw the 4 mocktails were $15.00 each the same price as an Old Fashioned I tend to think "Really". Nevertheless it is a great place and we will be back just ask for prices when they are not published especially for underage kids ordering mocktails.
