The Garage On Central in St. Petersburg - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I have been a customer here for 7 years. When visiting and more so now that I'm a regular. The garage has had its ups and downs. Every business does. The staff and customers are absolutely the best. If you want to drink and socialize inside or on the huge patio. ( where you can actually see people on the street) this is the place. Visit soon and find out for yourself.

an amazing community neighbor bar that cares for ALL in the community

Mostly dudes (I’m a lesbian), older crowd, incredibly welcoming. Community felt strong here

Open friendly space with a very supportive community

Not gay owned, shady business practices and owner as in prior posts needs to be avoided. Open drug use on patio and baggies in the men’s urinal/toilet at last visit. As another review states, better places to go. Very campy gossipy crowd that airs others personal business. Just a bunch of old washed up has beens stuck in the past with bad taste in music who find comfort in the 99% of the trash that go here. Last stop before ALLAH comes. Stick to beer here as it’s well known they commingle liquor here. Will never return to this dump. Remember Rai, ALLAH see all!

Amazing drag show and amazing patio. Will always return here, love it That much. Owner are very personal and amazing

Extremely discrimnatory bar owner. You WILL be hearing from me after your behavior last night.

The owner forcefully put his hands on my friend and when we asked what was going on he told us we were refused service. It was bizarre and inappropriate and we will not be coming back.

Anthony (and Porkchop) are the best!

Incredible staff - amazing vibe. The owner Rai was the only negative part of the experience. Please go support the staff but if you come across Rai, please kindly request that he doesn’t con you out of more money on a broken machine without disclosing who he was

Okay place, many very old guys here

The bartender is dry, I think his mouth is broken. He didn't know how to respond to my questions or most likely didn't care too. I can only imagine I don't fit the normal customer base as to the unwelcome deminor this evening. I DON'T recommend The Garage On Central

I have nothing against the gay crowd but if you're smart you'll see 👁️the hidden message before you walk in

Cheap drinks (bottles and cocktails, plastic cups), large shaded patio.

Basic and no frills. The positive is that you will not find a bridal party here, but it is a bit of a sleepy bar.

Friendly, welcoming space with a perpetual happy hour. What's not to like?!

Wonderful atmosphere!! Good priced drinks

This has to be one of the friendliest gay bars in St. Pete. Rai is always happy to see you when you walk in. No matter how long it has been!

I woulda gave this place 3.5 stars if the owner kept the place open till the sign on the door says. He will literally start turning lights off 45 minutes before closing time. Even if you're in the middle of a billiard game. He lacks people skills in general. The bartenders save this place. (But can only do so while they're open)

Graet gay bar everyone is so friendly here. I always have a good time when I go here

Never been to this place but one of my relatives works here. I’ll probably never get to see him because he’s in Florida and I am in Pennsylvania. 🌈

Three straight girls walk into a bar and found the tastiest green tea shot made by Larry

Cute, spacious gay bar with a patio and a pool table. It was empty when I visited. Everyone was nice.

Love this place! My boyfriend and I go here all the time. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Any my BF does too!!!!!!!

Decided to visit the Garage for halloween weekend, coming from Miami. Space has potential, it’s very festive and open. They have a VJ which is a fantastic thing but the huge line to get a beer is absurd.

Average at best nothing memorable.

DJ IS AWESOME!!! Place is very clean, drinks are good and strong. Crowd is adult, just want to have fun people. They have a nice pool table and a smoking are that does not crowd the dance floor or rest of the club. Free parking out front! Awesome place all in all. A must visit.

The karaoke is a blast! me and my friends do enjoy it the non stop songs are just awesome.. plus the drinks are great and the food people here are pretty nice...

Great for the older crowd not the younger.

We always have a great time! Luke is an amazing barender. Thanks Rai for opening an amazing bar. We haven't been in there for a while until about 2 weeks ago and Wow it's only getting better..Way to go Rai , Luke, Scott you guys are always the beat. E&F... Thanks so much ! ❤️

This bar had the best karaoke by far! There were some really great singers there! Everyone made you feel welcome. The bartender made us great drinks. I will definitely fo back there rhe next time im in town.

Very cool place. Owners are very kind and a lovely crowd.

Great place to have a drink and food if your from out of town. Not clickish and very friendly. Id visit anytime im in st pete

Fun place to stop and have a drink.

Omg I came to st pete beach for a wedding on labor day wknd and we needed somewhere to go out and my friend looked up some places and he was like Hey let's go to the Garage, so we thought it was near the beach where we were but after drinking and driving for a min we saw it wasnt..lol We finally get there and when i say we had a ball we had a ball !! Real cool people , best karaoke ever and the Owner was the coolest ever Very nice place will definitely visit again.

A nice cozy neighborhood Bar and a very mixed crowd. I just thought the drinks are kind of pricey

Great service, great prices, great staff and always something going on.

I have great memories from my visits to The Garage. A very comfy local bar, the owner is a great guy with a lovely family business. I recommend a stop in if you’re in the St Pete area.

So smoky in this place you can't breath. Friendly staff, and good drink prices though. So, if you're a smoker this is the place to be.

Fun LGBT bar DJs on weekends SMOKING is permitted inside.

The place to be for good crowds and great drink prices

My first time here was a blast! The owner, wait staff and regulars were very welcoming. Everyone overall was polite, welcoming, friendly. I will absolutely come back.

Love the karaoke and diversity of the people. Owners always on hand and super friendly.

Good neighborhood hangout Saturday is DJ Bill Cody (awesome music choices) spinning after 8 pm.. Bartender Larry and Luke quick with a smile..

Friendly neighborhood bar, great bartenders, a little too smoky at times though

OK drinking hole for those who smoke.

It's just a gay Back Room pool room Community Neighborhood gay bar. The bartenders are always very nice

Aweome free spirit bar. Straight guy in a gay bar and had an awesome experiance! Bartender Larry was amazing, entertaining and was quick on drinks. I will be back again!

Happy hour was the best time I ever had.

Great prices. No draft beers though. They don't show all the games, but they have a decent amount of TV's. Locally owned. Filled with older gay men.

Best hang out place ever. You're not just a customer, you're family. Love it!

I'm the karaoke Dj/Kj on Wednesday & Friday nights.

Karoke was so much fun and some really great talent there

Nice place to visit while out and about

Great people, great staff, great atmosphere luv it

Good people, good drinks, great prices.

Great place, heavy pours. Very Smokey.

Nice friendly crowd always have good time here.

Good dive bar to just hang out and have a cocktail.

nice bar but smoking is allowed

Great neighborhood bar love going here

Fun place to hang out. Karaoke seems to be a popular thing to do at the garage.

Great place to meet friends, good karaoke

DJ Bill is awesome and friendly. He plays great music and requests are welcomed. Drinks are good!

Always a good place to go play some poil and meet some of the cool locals. Been going here a while, mixed crowd, good vibe

People are friendly. Inexpensive to drink

Great neighborhood hangout, staff is always friendly, good happy hour prices. Just say yes.

Everyone is so friendly, I've made it my regular hang out.

The best gay in St Petersburg there for Halloween fabulous .great costumes fabulous bartenders I love these bar

Friendly neighborhood bar with best happy hour prices in town. Great owner, friendly bartenders.

The Garage is nice friendly neighborhood bar with cheap drinks, a nice outdoor patio, free pool, and as the name suggests, a cool automotive theme.

A comfortable, easy tube fit in place, not cliquey or pretentious

Great cozy gay bar in the Grand Central Distric, St Pete

The Garage is a smoking venue which is why I only gave it 3 stars. Other than that it's a very basic home-style gay bar with pool tables and karaoke. Very friendly but not for families.

Great neighborhood bar with outstanding drink prices. Karaoke on Friday nights is a blast! The Garage is a smoking bar so people with tobacco smoke sensitivities may find the environment less than optimal.

Great place for happy hour and to mingling with friends. Bartenders are cute and friendly.

Nice people make it a nice place to go.

Last night was my 1st time there. Didn't know anyone when I walked in, but by the time I left, I met alot of wicked kewl people. I had great conversations, laughter, and eyegasims (especially the bartender).!!! The music was great, the place was well kept, and had a great atmosphere all around. Like I said, it was my 1st time there and definitely won't be my last.

I went to karoake and enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and great crowd. Ice cold beer. Very pleasant experience. The patio area is a great place to have a drink and watch the stars.

Happy hour til 10pm. I'm a happy camper.

Love this place they allways have great food and lots of people come here not sure what the haters are talking about well you Wil always have negative people in this world to bad hope you haters stop coming in all the time? ????
