Reviews Garage Billiards Bar & Restaurant

Sometimes you go out to enjoy a film with friends only to realize the times have changed from the day before and you’re almost two hours early. What is a lady and her friends to do?. In the case of the theatre at Eau Claire Mall, the answer is to head downstairs to Garage Sports Bar. Garage is hella spacious (the website says they can accommodate up to 500 for special events) – but manages to feel like a corner neighbourhood pub. I very much hope they’re incorporated into the new Eau Claire development plan.

During the Family Day holiday festivities at Eau Claire we decided to try The Garage instead of fighting the crowds in the food court. The menu, which names their dishes after various cars, was intriguing with mostly standard bar food with some twists. My wife's family and I decided to order 3 pizzas to share as they were the Monday special ,$12 a pie for a 12". The pizza was pretty good overall but nothing amazing. The hand tossed crust was a nice medium thickness with a perfect bake. The toppings were well proportioned to the cheese but we found the salami on the meat lovers very chewy and the shrimp on one of the other pizzas made the crust a little soggy. The highlight was the "charger chicken", a chipotle sauce base with maple bacon and avocado aioli. The service wasn't bad, with the exception of not getting a refill on my water. We were among the very few in the very large and open establishment. It would be a great place to play some pool, drink beer and watch a game. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but I would definitely give it another shot if I was in the area.

I really like the atmosphere present here. I stopped here after working out at the YMCA in Eau Clair. I am looking for that perfect Mushroom Burger. I chose a Mozzarella Guacamole Burger instead. I really wasn't expecting to pay these prices for a burger. But, I guess times have changed. I really enjoyed the burger, a 8/10 on my scale. The Garage is a great place to visit and hangout. Great place to watch sports.

You know for pub food it's not that bad as people think it is. As for the service part of it our server was really good and attentive :) A+ to the server....
As for the steak sandwhich ummmmm I think you really need to add some spice because that was ok for a bar steak but please add some spices to it....just to make it better :)
6/10 I'm my books...
