We went here last night when we were in Philly. It's a sports bar with lots of tables and they serve beers, cocktails, and canned cocktails. The prices for drinks were very reasonable for Philly! The service was quick and friendly. It was a good atmosphere and the bar and tables were clean. We would go back when we are in the area for a more relaxed night.

This place slaaaaams, not gonna lie! Ski ball in the back with standing area and a pool table! Such a cool spot to kick it with some Friends, have a beer and watch some sports. I think we were there for 6 hours last Sunday! Watched the eagles game and had a blast! The crowd was awesome, but not too packed. They allow you to bring food from outside in which is really nice. Plus, they have a food truck INSIDE that changes daily!

28/30. Wednesday nights with John bartending are essential for a happy life. The open air and pool tables make for a great experience that I will always come back to

Went last week for vanderpump rules watch party Tuesday and planning to go again! The bartender is so nice and helped us pick a good table for viewing (though they are all good since there are so many screens!) we also got burgers from the food truck which were delish!

Great place for a drink! A fun laid back atmosphere. Perfect for a stop after a game, grab a cheesesteak from nearby and bring it in and enjoy with a cold one!

I have gone through many iterations of my relationship with being a fan of sports teams. Younger me's whole personality was based around Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, Angels Baseball, and USC football. I vividly remember after the Lakers game 7 Championship win against the Celtics in 2010, 14 year old me who had just wrapped up the 8th grade, had a major realization. After a night of pure exaltation and chirping all my friends who were Celtics fans, I woke up the next day and realized my life had not changed AT ALL. I had a metamorphosis of sorts, realizing that I should put all of this time, energy, and passion into myself rather than being fans of players and teams who didn't know I existed. While I remained a fan, it was never the same. I stopped wearing my Kobe jerseys everywhere I went. I began to look at grown men walking around wearing other grown mens jerseys like they were DORKS. Don't you want to do something impactful with your life to where people would want to wear your jersey? Or wear your own, at least in a metaphorical sense? Idk. In retrospect, I became a little asshole lmao. --I promise The Garage will tie in here in a second stay with me I love this place-- It wasn't until I went to Europe on a school trip towards the end of High School when my 2nd metamorphosis began. I was OBSESSED with everything about European culture, thinking how fascinating it was that people live so differently than myself, but it's just normal life to them. My American ignorance led me to believe that everyone lived like I did, had the same interests I did. Idk, it blew my mind and I just couldn't get enough. I thought it was SO cool how passionate the Europeans were about their soccer, not realizing how contradictory this was to my own beliefs about American sports fans. I even bought a Messi Jersey and allat! It wasn't until years and years later, when I really put it together. These European Football fans were essentially paralleled to American Football fans. Both getting SO invested in these games, SCREAMING at the screen between sips of beer at a local bar like that will have any effect on the outcome of the game lmao. The older I have gotten, the more I have begun to respect the passionate sports fan, no matter what sport it is. Even if, for me personally, this passion is better to be placed somewhere else, I respect and love to be around passionate people no matter where that passion is placed. Who am I to tell someone what to be passionate about? I have gone through this life meeting people who are passionate about literally nothing, just kind of numb to life and that makes me sad and just scares me. How could you be numb to life? It's such a beautiful gift tha---okay I'm getting way too existential, let me reign it in. All this to say, I watched game 1 of the NLDS here where the Phillies were playing the Braves the other night. I feel like the reputation of the Philly sports fan is the best we have in America, and they did NOT disappoint. They were going BRAAAZYYYYYY in here lmaaaoo. Every base hit felt like a homerun, every home run felt like they had just won the mf powerball. For every single out they were counting down for how many more they needed to win. "ONLY 18 MORE WE GOT THIS!" lmao. The passion was tangible and beautiful. There was a guy slanging $4 hotdogs that were delicious, 100% pure American beef (allegedly). The bartenders were LOCKED IN, getting people drinks quick and moving onto the next. This was one of the best, most efficient bartending performances I have ever seen. Almost as efficient as a Philadelphia Eagles QB sneak. Almost. You can also bring outside food which is IDEAL, as I saw some people walking in with a couple pizzas. That's a vet move, I'll be ready next time. Also, get the grape funbag for a drink if you're feeling adventurous. Well even if you're not feeling adventurous get the grape funbag. Have I ever lied to you, my dear reader? All in all, I can't imagine a better place to watch a game. I love The Garage and I love the city of Philadelphia. Passion oozes out of the streets and the people. I'll be back, and with pizza next time. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Garage is one of my go-to bars in South Philly! The skee ball machines, TouchTunes, and huge beer/cider/seltzer selection makes it a great place to hang out for several hours. It's also a great place to go for watching Philly sports games (but you'll need to get there early to secure a seat or it will be standing room only, especially for Eagles games!) I love that you can bring in outside food, and that they also have the food stand inside if you don't feel like venturing too far or paying delivery fees. I definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!
