    Mobile, Alabama --- "The Garage" is a members-only dive bar complete with roll-up garage door & filled with bar-flair that dates back decades ... "The Garage" sign claims since 1921, but that most-likely implies to the days when it was a true garage, since Prohibition did not end until December 5, 1933 ... ("Members-Only" status permits a bar to remain open beyond 2am for card-carrying members) "The Garage" is a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite bar, filled with card-carrying customers (including myself), nicotine-stained bar-flair that creates a super atmosphere, a roll-up garage door & bar'd bar window that help freshen that smoking bars, plus ... The bartender Lindsey is amazingly single-handedly in control of the mass of the loyal customers ... Interestingly, Budweiser created a promotional banner that features Lindsey & her fellow bartenders day 082 / bar 157 of "666 Bars of 2017" day 029 "DUSA 2017" (Discover USA) "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 03.23.17

    This is a cool dive bar in downtown Mobile. I like the atmosphere and the pool table back area of the bar. It does get so crowded though its hard to enjoy yourself sometimes. The music is always a wide selection and something for everyone to enjoy. The last time I went with some girlfriends and the guy crowd was a little creepy. But I will be back soon I'm sure, its so popular here in Mobile.

    Always a great time at the Garage with the lovely Monica Horton!

    It's smoky. It's divey. It's a great spot to watch parades and live music. It's also a VERY good sot to people watch.

    This is a great concept: Cuban-inspired speakeasy with craft cocktails and a stage. Went on a…read morekaraoke night which isn't for everyone (including me) but I only had one night, so you get what you get. Dress code "strictly enforced" is refreshing. Too many places on the gulf coast are trashy dive bars. Nice to see a place that's holding the line. I will start with Rosie to doorman. What a fun guy and a huge personality. Just love chatting with him. He looks you over to make sure you don't look like a slob. You give him the password, and he opens the hidden door. Inside is nicely decorated with old bank vault doors still in place. Pretty cool. But the TVs on every wall and behind the bar upset the ambiance. Goes quickly from "speakeasy" to "sports bar." Hated that. Service was good and everyone was very friendly. Drinks were fine. Maybe a little on the sweet side. Should have asked more questions and ensured mine was made more dry. Food though.... Not good. I don't have a high standard for Latino food - I generally like it all. But the croquettes were lukewarm and mealy (probably made from frozen?). The plantain chips that came with the black bean dip were strangely small - as in dime-sized which made eating the dip messy. They might have come from a bad but just the crumbs at the bottom of the bag. The ceviche was just OK. So... great concept. Not executed particularly well. Probably better cocktails in downtown Mobile. Food needs a lot of work. Hated the TVs on the walls - ruined the speakeasy feel and took me straight to "sports bar." 2 stars bc there's potential here. Will watch reviews to see if it's improving and worth revisiting.
