Came to drinkery for drag Bingo night and came back then for their Friday the 13th Zombie Drag Show! A fun place to be with friends and leave with new friends!The owners are super sweet! Thank you for all the support you give others, the warm inviting safe space you bring to the garland district, and the feeling of love you shared with the big warm welcome when I visited.both bartenders on eve I was there were attentive, and friendly!The security on event night were also super nice, and attentive.All staff, and drag performers are amazing!The taco truck outside was yummy too!Loved the water cooler avail for refills as lines got busy inside in bar between sets on show night.Inside and outside are cozy, clean and Ill definately visit again when in spokane!If ya havent visited the garland drinkery recently, do it!

The bartender was excellent!Drink was rather small and not very strong, but still good. No food on site (I think they ran out), but there was a taco truck right outside, so it was no big deal

Have had and will come again and again . The friendliest bar in town. The owners and people that come here are all inviting and friendly. Great karaoke, helps our community. comedians. And just great fellowship. And the best taco truck next door in town and I know. I moved from Texas.

I did not rate food since I did not have any. They had a taco truck there for patrons, and I had been tacod out. The DJ was amazing, music was amazing, there wasnt much dancing area while we were there, but I was told they move the tables inside to give more room. We danced where we could, it was fun. The bartender was great, and it was a very welcoming environment. Garland drinkery is come one, come all and have a good time! *No BS and zero tolerance for bullying and haters.**Pet friendly *Its awesome that one of the owners, Rachel, is a retired army vet. Thank her for her service ❤️

Chelsea is the bomb!! Came for the first time last night and stumbled into a karaoke fest 90s style! Safe and inclusive space to get great drinks, relax how you see fit (Ice Age was on the TV in case you just wanted to chill), and talk to new folks! Thank you for the conversation and the memorable evening, Chelsea! Ill be back!

Had a nice time at this cute little bar. We were really excited to visit this bar because it’s lesbian veteran owned from what we read on Facebook. Was disappointed to hear that this bar is struggling like it is but than coming in and not feeling the friendly vibe from the owners who were hanging out with their own friends made sense to “maybe” why they’re struggling. I hope this helps, I truely would love to see you guys succeed.

Absolutely the most friendly inclusive hangout for 21 and older. Amazing staff and customers, dog friendly, great food vendors, DJ, karaoke, bingo…… highly recommend, especially when Angie’s Tacos is there!

This place is locally owned and operated by two of the most delightful and wonderful humans I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know. Good prices, fun weekly events, a great local, neighborhood vibe, extremely LGBTQ+ friendly/accepting and the staff are equally delightful and wonderful! I feel welcome and safe when I am at the Drinkery, and I cant put a price on the value of that! I highly recommend this almost criminally underrated little gem of a bar.

Review №13

Charming spot on the main drag. Everyones very friendly, theyve got great Jello shots, and the taco truck that posts up outside (Angies Tacos) is really legit! Note: taco truck doesnt lost a veggie taco option but they will make you one if you ask nicely!Not the best draft selection (only had 3 taps when i was there) but many cans and cocktail offerings.

They stole my husbands picture to use for their advertisement on Facebook then they blocked my husband. I commented on the photo asking them why they took his photo & then blocked him, instead of them being professional and responding they then blocked me. We have done nothing but share their posts & support their page/business! Super shady!!! I will make sure to tell my friends and family the same thing!!!

Review №15

Always a great vibe in here with the new owners! They are opening earlier than 7 now, doing karaoke, and will be doing lunch soon too. Also fireball jello shots are way better than they should be. 🏳️‍🌈

Review №16

They refused to serve my autistic friend who was with me because he was “acting weird”, and when we decided to leave we had insults hurled at us and THEN they broke my partners leg! 0/10, definitely a spot for the college kids around the area. Super unfriendly to queer/disabled people.

Review №17

There are a lot of noteworthy Spokane restaurants and bars, some with great specials, like $1 beer on Wednesday nights at Garland Drinkery. While I enjoy finding a good deal, I often find that I return to places more for the atmosphere and personalities. That is exactly what I have found to be true about Garland Drinkery, now that Travis is behind the bar. Hes super friendly and contributes to that laid back, welcoming atmosphere people love about the place. Ive been going to the Drinkery for years, but Im definitely visiting more often now. Be sure to ask him to make a grape Kamikaze! I dont know that youll find it anywhere else...

Its unfortunate that they dont take all legal forms of ID. Went out with friends and one had their legal ID rejected so we ended up skipping out. Weve never had this issue before at any other bar. Especially unfortunate to have happen during Pride. Boo. 👎🏻

Outdoor seating, ambient music, and entertaining bar staff. The drinks were flowing and well made here, and Id happily spend another late afternoon sunset playing pinball and lazing in the umbrella shade of this bar. Great spot!

Loved the hot dog stand out front and love and appreciate the bouncer sitting out by the curb. Very kind bartenders and bouncers. Kinda squished with the small space in doors and not much better outside.

Review №26

I was pleasantly surprised that Tuesday nights is $2 well tequila night. I had 3 margaritas (that tasted great) for $6 before tip and was able to sit out on the patio listening to good music. The bartender was personable and made a great drink. The only reason they recieved 4 stars is that in the restroom, the toilet is not properly fastened to the floor, making it wobbly.

Review №27

This bar is a testament to how dive bars should operate, clean, well maintained. However the diversity of the crowd creates a sense of community overshadowing the cliques that remain in every other bar. A feeling that welcomes all people, and creates relationships that foster healthy security in ones self.The Garland Drinkery is not just a bar, the Garland Drinkery is a family, and Ive never seen anyone not be accepted into it.Cheap beer, craft cocktails, full bar, and epic staff.Only complaint... Jameson for $7??! ;)

Discriminatory weirdos that dont respect autistic folk refusing service cuz my friend was being weird and quietmy other friend tried walking out with a beer (yea they shouldnt have) but the bouncer tackled them and broke their ankle no matter the situation they should not have been forceful enough to BREAK A BONE we spent all night in the ER and it was messed upthe staff was just rude and i did not enjoy my experience at all

Small and cozy with a great patio, this is the place to go for great drinks and loud djs or karaoke. Has ski ball, pinball and a dart board. Daily drink specials and plenty of smiles from the always gorgeous bartenders.

An
Review №44

Small inside and crowded, the patio is clearly intended to be a focus but is nearly empty due to the cold.No bouncer, and I was grabbed aggressively by someone right in front of the KJ, yet the bartender had to be asked twice by separate people (not including the KJ) to remove the drunk moron who did it. Karaoke is new so song choice is limited but the sound wasnt bad, and the one drink I had was pretty good. All in all, though, I dont think Ill be back.

They make the best of what space they have. Its limited space, especially the inside, but the garland people still appreciate the place. Is not very expensive but rarely is it cheap. A good place for friends to sit and chat.n

Of the bars in Garland District this is the worst. No beer on tap. I asked for a Whisky Coke and all they have is RC-Cola. Bartenders were not very friendly, pretty dirty and music is way to loud to socialize.
