Garage Billiards and Bowl quietly opened their newly remodeled patio yesterday.  The 2,000 square foot space features a covered, heated and open-air bar. Customers will now have the option to dine and drink on the patio year round.

The original outdoor dining space opened in 1996, and was created to insulate the patio from the sound of the Broadway street noise. “Many aspects of the Pike/Pine corridor have changed much in the last 20 years, so the patio has been restructured to invite people to enjoy and embrace those changes,” says Mike Bitondo, Managing Partner.

Coinciding with the patio grand opening, Garage has unveiled a redesigned menu created by new Chef Garrett Michael Brown, previously Chef at Branzino and Verve Wine Bar.  He has created a seasonal gastro pub inspired menu with an emphasis on fresh, organic and locally sourced ingredients.  The menu will also feature cured meats, sausages and pickled items from Garage’s in house production space. The new menu will be available daily from 3:00 pm-midnight, and until 1:00 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
