Garage Bar & Bowl

Vibes. Absolute vibes. Moved out here from South Minneapolis and I would compare Garage Bar to Bryant Lake, but- they’re a different creature entirely. Chill place, still fairly easy to get in when they’re busy. Pizza is uniquely their own and perfect. Highly recommend if you’re floating through from the cities. The pizza crust I ‘might’ compare to Black Sheep’s. Even so, they’ve got their own vibe and it warms to the soul of this now former South Minneapolitan. Keep up the good work guys. ❤️

I came here with a friend yesterday and it was an alright experience. The only things that caught my attention positively was the cheeseboard happy hour portion size (huge), the food plating was beautiful and they have an area to bowl which is really cool. The service was alright nothing special, my dirty plates sat at the end of the table for 20-30mins. The place wasn’t super busy so I am surprised the service wasn’t top tier. As I stated before the service wasn’t bad just alright. The BBQ wings were not that good but I was starving so I still ate them. They were cheap since it was happy hour time. I think parts of the wings were over cooked as some wings tasted burnt as you can kinda see in the photo below but they also had fat on them too so they were also chewy.. The BBQ sauce wasn’t g

We have tried going to this place twice now and have been discouraged. It appears to be a family friendly place, but clearly not one that accepts young children. Kids were standing in the corner booth and we were told they need to sit. We tried bowling and got yelled at again for our kid going over line when we were already trying to get them to come back. Came to tell them us our kids needed to sit on the bowling benches. Our kids are little and do have energy, but we were already correcting them and felt it’s was a bit overboard. Ended up just leaving after that.

Food, hot and well prepared. Chicken wings were smoked with the dry rub spice; perfect. Pizza was more than delicious. REAL crust with a great sauce. Pepperoni that was flavorful and mild. Sausage was also very tasty and complementary. Cheese was also REAL and as cheese does, was cheesy-delicious. Cooked in a brick oven with all the yummy puffs on the crust. Honestly, it was great. The bloody Mary was pretty darn good, with olives, meat stick and a pickle spear. I doubt you could fit more yumminess in the glass. Beer back, too, of course. One of the best meals we have had in a while and prices were very reasonable. Did I mention they offer bowling, too? Six lanes, only a few people playing so room for your enjoyment, should the opportunity come up.

Garage Bar & Bowl — Laconia, MN | Food Review We landed at Garage Bar and Bowl and went straight to our gluten-free benchmark order: Margherita pizza, add extra pepperoni, well done. This is the control group. Every GF pizza gets judged against it. The pizza: Good crust—nice crunch on the outside, solid chew through the bite. That part absolutely works. They use a red sauce, which is where opinions split. My wife liked it just fine. For me, it leaned a little heavy on the sauce. Not bad—just saucier than I want for a margherita-style build. Still, overall? Good pizza, and that’s not something I say lightly in the gluten-free world. The surprise hit: The chicken Caesar salad. The romaine hearts were roasted or grilled, served warm, and it landed exactly right. That warmth against the Caesar
