Had a team dinner here and they did not disappoint. I had the taco tasting and was impressed. The staff made sure we were ok and checked on us frequently. Great casual dinner spot

Happy Hour

The bar is located right next to the Shout House. We went here for Happy Hour before our party next door. They had a great happy hour with 51% off drinks, excluding some specialty cocktails. Some of the food items were $2-3 off. We ordered a lot of drinks and food. It was good bar food. My favorites were the Ahi nachos and Carne Asada fries. The 5 side chicken wings were a little plain and shrimp tacos were soggy that night.

Happy Hour

Enjoyed a lunch with Garage Kitchen and Bar with Friends. It is really nice rustic atmosphere with a full bar and seating for about 100 people. During football season it is home of the Minnesota vikings. It has plenty of atmosphere and plenty of viewing screens for sporting events. The restroom are clean. The host and service team are very good. The kitchen and bar get your items out quickly. They check on you often which is appreciated. It's often crowded and worth the wait. A solid menu of bar food and select entree dishes. Their specials definitely attract people. Drink and food specials throughout the week. It's popular. The manager Clifford is very active being sure your experience is satisfying. Today we went for the $6 hamburger and fries combo special for lunch service. It's an amazing value and is very tasty. A solid burger at any price and they have good wings as well. If your a drinker their pricing and specials are a great value. Check their Instagram and Facebook. We highly recommend the Garage Kitchen for a good time.
