    I went there for The Silent Bookclub meeting and had a great experience! The place is clean, furniture and decor is beautiful, and the drinks were good! The calamari seemed overpriced for how small it was but it was ok. The service was great! Paid $47 for calamari and two drinks.

    A friend suggested we try The Garrison while "bar hopping" downtown. What a jackpot! The interior is beautiful and the bar is fully stocked. All four of us loved our drinks and we really appreciated the bar tenders advice. I will definitely return on future trips to El Paso.

    My husband and I went to the Garrison after seeing an ad for Afrobeats Night. We were curious to try it out. The atmosphere was very chill. The lounge is decorated elegantly while maintaining its own identity. It wasn't as packed as it could've been but there was a good number of people still coming in at 11:30 pm when we left. I enjoyed that it wasn't too packed for the night, as it allowed us to enjoy the seating area. My husband ordered the Dark Horse cocktail with shrimp tacos, while I ordered a London Martini with truffle fries. The shrimp tacos were good, however, a little too salty. They were well-seasoned. Unfortunately, I had to wait 20mins for my truffle fries. The fries themselves were mostly still raw. However, our waitress did get the fries charge taken off. The service was good for how busy it was.

    This place is by far my favorite bar! It serves non-alcoholic drinks which are perfect for me. I get to enjoy some drinks alongside my friends. I can see they have tons of options and the presentation looks good. The service was friendly and the ambiance is so relaxing. Great to have a pleasant conversation with some amazing company. The seats are comfortable and well put on. The mural is artistic. I can say I will be going again and again. Provecho!

    We went to The Garrison on their opening night around 7:30pm. It wasn't too busy yet and there were still a couple spots to sit and grab a drink, but it definitely got busier within the hour. The cocktail lounge is beautiful! Big comfy velvet chairs, gorgeous chandeliers, and a beautiful floral art piece on one of the walls. I ordered the Lychee Martini and the Butterfly Magic G&T. Both drinks were delicious and I'd definitely get the Butterly Magic G&T again. My partner got The Garrison, which is a smoked drink that they prepare and then open in front of you. It was just as delicious! For opening night, they provided complimentary snacks which I found to be a really thoughtful and yummy gesture. We did have to wait a long time for our drinks, but I think they absolutely have the potential to be a five star place once they get everything working smoothly.

    The Garrison is such a delightful cocktail lounge. We went for the Grand Opening and it was a very chill vibe, with soothing live music, comfortable velvet seating and beautiful chandeliers. The drinks are not only delicious but also stunning, I had a drink that was purple with sparkles in it. They serve a drink called 'The Garrison' that comes in a smoked chest box. The Garrison is in a prime location downtown. We will definitely be going back!

    This was my first time at the The Garrison and I was not disappointed. It was afronight so the music was amazing, playing artists such as Tems and Davido. At the bar I ordered an old fashioned which the bartender made to perfection. The staff was friendly and welcoming from all of the bartenders to the dj. The design is chic and the ambience is relaxing. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for a good night!

So I, of course, feeling the need always to explore new cocktail bars or restaurants in my hometown when visiting home, was pretty excited for the opportunity to check out Hush Hush. As a true millennial Gemini, I celebrate my birthday for the whole month, so I quickly texted my family and friends; this is where I wanted to go. What I love about Hush Hush is how it's encouraging and pushing folks to step out of their comfort zone in their attire and dress more to the vibes of this cocktail house (Think Soho, ABA, Casablanca, and Elephante). You're bound to see more desert tones, muted colors, flowy pants, basically anything resort wear. It's cool to see this cocktail house make you feel like you're not in El Paso. The music is different, more loungey, to where you can hear everyone at your table. Of course, there's still a DJ, but damn, Hush Hush is intentionally geared for those who love to go out but need top-shelf cocktails without the eye rolls or the bartenders staring at us with blank eyes. Hush Hush is a true game changer. The lines might get crazy, but I suggest getting there early so you can snag your photos and a solid table/spot. There are three main bar areas, but my fave was the velvet room. I suggest catching a drink on the second floor if you get there early enough to get an eagle eye's view of the establishment. Attention to detail was on point, and I appreciated the homework and research done before the opening of this spot. It's an elevated experience for the city and one I wish every city in the States had tbh.

Living in New Orleans for a few years, I can tell you that The Big Easy does not take their tiki bar game lightly and I've had my fair share of adventures. Although the exterior of the building might be misleading, you can expect a world of Polynesian delight and flavors that will leave your taste buds tingling. A dimly lit environment carefully decorated to theme, shows the intentionality behind The Tiki Room El Paso. I had been to their original location by the courthouse and this is a true 2.0 rebirth of the establishment. Now my fave thing to do at any spot is to ideally sit at the bar to get the full experience. What really stood out to me was the level of commercial kitchen equipment that ensured the kitchen smells and smoke didn't take over the place. It's all in the details. The staff here is super fun and engaging which made it all the better. My friend and I were served by Adam and their service with the food and drink program made it all the five-star experience one hopes to receive. If you're getting a drink or served by Adam then you're in for a delight. I had a zombie drink and the flavors were so well mixed that it was easy to forget how liquored up they were. This drink has a two drink maximum and lemme tell you, later that night it was clear why that is lol. I definitely had a good buzz flowing. My favorite part was the serving presentation which had the cinnamon sparks and flicks of fire. My friend was hungry and kept raving about the pork belly bowl and damn was she right. The pork belly was crispy and juicy with each bite. You can respect the aroma and fresh ingredients including green onions, pineapple, jalapenos, and fried garlic. You have to order one (maybe two) for the table. Take a look around and enjoy the vibes. It's an absolute must.

    We were looking for an interesting place within walking of our hotel for dinner on a Tuesday…read moreevening and saw this pop up on a couple of quality searches. They're known for creatively risky craft cocktails and their thick burgers, so we dove into both, including bacon/cheese burgers and the filthy martini ($18, gin with sardine brine and blue-cheese-stuffed olives!) and the Chupa Mi Chili ($20 Sotol, chili syrup, crema, bitters). She loved the salty/bitter martini (not so much me Lol) and I really liked my Chupa, although about half foamed out of the glass (see vid). The burgers were excellent as were both the roasted veggie and shoestring fries. It was empty when we walked in around 7/7:30 but by 9p it was approaching half full... not bad for a Tuesday night. Ambiance in this tall-ceilinged venue is dark/cozy and staff was fun/friendly.

I'm a dirty martini girl and of course I'd recommend blue cheese stuffed olives! The fries were crispy, hot and served as a nice sized portion as a shareable. Customer service is 10/10, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable on the menu items and engagement with guests. I've had the opportunity to visit twice and this will be one of my frequent regular visits while here in El Paso! As they say, the world is your oyster--and this place serves some of the best pearls of the sea I've had."
