I'd love to return if we're in the area.

Typical dive bar vibes: cozy, pool table, smoking patio. I was glad to see that the new owners are cool and make the experience fun. We had an amazing time and felt totally welcomed from the start.

The crowd was fairly diverse and very enthusiastic, and seemed to be very supportive of each other singing.

Although this is not a "gay bar" at all, my queer friends and I felt safe and welcome.

One of the bartenders even ended up being my roommate for a time (and we would dance together in the living room). It was a hard time in my life when I first went there and I've grown and become, hopefully, a much better person just from experiencing the wonderful friends I've met. I could tell so many stories, but my point is simply this: This is THE BEST bar I have ever been to in my entire life and I cannot say enough good things about it and the people who run it, the regulars, bartenders, etc. Just genuinely awesome people. Even just the other day, a couple came in and they hadn't been there before, and we were just talking and they said "This is such a nice place." It's like Cheers. I walk in the door and end up hugging like everyone before I even get my name on the pool table (they also have a really nice pool table. I've been playing for years now as a result.) The owners Big J and Dave are awesome... I'm kind of overflowing with compliments here but it's just... it's the best place. If I had to choose what I was going to do with my night, my day, whatever, just getting out, it would be The Garage. Absolutely awesome. (I'm honestly just disappointed with myself that I didn't give them a Yelp review sooner. I cannot recommend this place enough. 5 stars just doesn't cut it).

We were in the area, and were going to stop by Dargan's to get a drink after doing some work there, but Dargan's was slammed. Sans Souci was suggested, so we popped in there, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a little dive bar with a large outside smoking area right in front. The inside is a bit small. We didn't stay long since we were meeting a friend, but it was a good spot. There seemed to be a band that had performed, or was going to perform. The inside of the venue is quite dark, with a few places to sit and enjoy the performance. We grabbed a drink (the drink was nice and quite stiff too, and fairly inexpensive, which is a good plus). We ended up heading outside, and enjoying the smoking area, which was a good place to light up and people-watch (there were a lot of people out and about, and the patio is sheltered enough you can look out, but not look creepy doing so). Eventually we finished our drink and headed back to the car, but that's all I can speak for. The bartender was nice, she was very slammed but was on her game and we got our drinks quickly. FYI for the smokers, they do have cigarettes for sale at the bar, which is also a plus if you smoke. I'd seen the place pretty packed later in the evening, so it looks like it's pretty popular. Next time I'm in the area and there's a band playing, I'll have to make it a point to check it out again.
