my friend drew van dyke celebrated his 25th birthday this last wednesday. last night, to celebrate, we went to the Garage. i bet you probably haven't heard of this place and yep it is really called the garage. it is a bikers bar located on 1199 beck street in salt lake. this place is awesome. it is so unique and different from the types of place i usually eat at. it is so texas looking with the desert scenery and the oil refineries in the background. i felt like i was in the t.v show friday night lights.
at first i wondered why in the world drew wanted to eat at place called the garage for his birthday. i was thinkin somewhere fairly quiet, but not boring, just somewhere we could sit down and talk. maybe like the cheesecake factory or california pizza kitchen....haha well good thing i didn't choose the restaurant because i would have been totally off. if you know drew, he prefers things a little less traditional and a little more upbeat. i must admit though, he had the right idea. i am so glad we went there!
besides being a restaurant/bar this place has live music. it sorta felt like dinner and a free concert. i don't know how often they have bands play? i would think just on weekends but i do know. they do have an event calendar on their website, if you are interested. also their food was soooooo gooooood. i may have had the best burger ever. it was called the cowboy burger. it felt appropriate ordering a burger called the cowboy burger because i felt like i was in texas the whole night. the burger had bbq sauce, bacon, onion rings and who knows what other delicious ingredients were in that thing. all i know is that i loooooved it. on the menu they also have chicken fried waffles, sandwiches and other grilled items. this place is a definite must try if you are into doing something different on your weekend night.
oh and happy birthday drew. love ya so much
