Richard Smith: Visit the bands' websites before the gig. It's more fun when you know the songs & the bands appreciate it. Subscribe to the newsletter at www.the-garage.ws for updated calendars & band links.
Richard Smith: Great vibe, generously-sized bar area and never overcrowded. Booths, tables, & a sweet location on Hawthorne with parking right nearby. Also, plenty of foosball and billiards at the ready.
Richard Smith: If weather's nice, make for the patio. One of the best in town, especially with the rosemary bushes nearby. Not too often you can say a bar smells good.
