Garage Fishtown

Went there for drinks and loved the atmosphere. Bartender was nice but security was kicking us out at 1:45 when I just got another drink. Why allow us to order drinks if we wouldn't be able to finish it.

Garage Fishtown isn't a bad bar to hang out at, but it isn't a particularly thrilling one either. It has arcade games and the "fun bags" (kool aid like mixed drinks), both of which I enjoyed. I also had some food, including buffalo chicken pierogis and al pastor tacos. Tip 1: Don't buy tacos from here. They have way better ones outside at the food trucks. Tip 2: The women's bathroom has some entertaining graffiti.

Came in here solely to try the pierogies and after a long day of exploring it felt like my own personal hell with young college age kids that had me looking at them thinking are you even old enough to drink? and music so loud you couldn't hold a conversation. Unless you're looking for a loud grungy college dive bar to relive your youth, steer clear of this place! The pierogies were a touch too greasy for my liking- also one of our two orders was incorrect and had to wait 15 minutes for it to come out...don't waste your time here even for pierogies.

We visited this restaurant by accident. It just happened to be in the right place at the right time. First I liked the "Garage" concept. Once we got pass security, there was no instructions given on how to order your food. We didn't know you have to order at the bar. When the food came up the security guard brought it to us. But there was no other service. There are only a few items on the menu. I ordered grilled chicken sandwich . It was tasty. I didn't care for the bathroom. While it smelled like it was freshly cleaned the spray paint and marker writing all over the stalls made me feel like I was at a truck stop bathroom.

I was in Fishtown with my mom and husband for a dinner reservation, but we got to the neighborhood too early and needed to find a place to have a drink. We stopped in at Garage after seeing it from across the street. It had a bit of a college-y vibe to me (sticky floors, too loud to talk), but it has TVs playing sports, skee-ball, a lots of beers. It's not a place I'd return to (just not my vibe), but a decent place to kill some time before a reservation nearby.

Garage Fishtown is fine. It's maybe not worth waiting in a line around the block on a Saturday night for this aging fogie, but it's got a great selection, and lots of (non-Saturday) space if you have a large group. Oh, and skee ball. Who can argue with skee ball?Really, the gripe that I have is that the prices for a lot of local stuff that you can get in any other bar in a block radius, is about 20% higher here than in those other spots. I get it - gotta pay your rent, gotta pay your people. But if the product is the same, the atmosphere's gotta have something that's 20% better for me, and skee ball by itself isn't gonna cut it.Good spot to watch a few games, otherwise.

The floors are a little sticky, sure. And the crowd can be on the freshly-21 side at times. But Garage is a nice place to hang. They don't have Peacock so if you're looking for those obscure Phillies games, sorry Charlie. But they do have a wide selection of beers, mostly friendly staff, good food and skeeball! Helllurrrr! Plus a touch tunes, which helps me decide on a place because I like to curate the vibe.

The service at this bar is terrible. I said I would never go back but a colleague of mine told me they've gotten better.... He was wrong. That's just the people that hang out at this bar are either homeless or just down on their luck. If you want to feel good about yourself, I would not hang out here bartender it looks like a crackhead. I asked the bartender for a beer and what is on special her reply was just pick something.

Service was great! Food was barfood , so ok there. Lots of TV's playing various sports. Went there for the Guru Fantasy football draft, lots of fun!

I wish there was an option to give no stars. We will not be giving money to a business that treats their customers rudely.
