New Owners/Management

As of May 2013, The Garden has new owners/management. We now have a great new team of bartenders that are welcoming and polite and ready to serve you. We have an entirely new Drag Show on the weekends, featuring some of the best queens in the state. We have great new drink specials all week long. Check out our website for a list of drink specials, upcoming events, and more!

should be called ghost town instead of garden..

same music playing over and over for the past 8 yrs now.. last time i came in was 2009 and it was dead on a weekend in March.. they have only one beer tender (SETH) (i believe his name is). i like and that is personable and well mannred all others suc balls not in a good way either especially the black lesbo she scares me with her attitude & she only caters to her clicks she totally ignores you if u want served.. bad bartending ethics on her part...the bar caters to str8ts more than gays now.. which is a crying shame.... and drag shows suxs with horrible drags which drag queens sux balls anywayz.. Will never step foot into ever again which was once the bar i prefered the most...
