    I went there for The Silent Bookclub meeting and had a great experience! The place is clean, furniture and decor is beautiful, and the drinks were good! The calamari seemed overpriced for how small it was but it was ok. The service was great! Paid $47 for calamari and two drinks.

    A friend suggested we try The Garrison while "bar hopping" downtown. What a jackpot! The interior is beautiful and the bar is fully stocked. All four of us loved our drinks and we really appreciated the bar tenders advice. I will definitely return on future trips to El Paso.

    My husband and I went to the Garrison after seeing an ad for Afrobeats Night. We were curious to try it out. The atmosphere was very chill. The lounge is decorated elegantly while maintaining its own identity. It wasn't as packed as it could've been but there was a good number of people still coming in at 11:30 pm when we left. I enjoyed that it wasn't too packed for the night, as it allowed us to enjoy the seating area. My husband ordered the Dark Horse cocktail with shrimp tacos, while I ordered a London Martini with truffle fries. The shrimp tacos were good, however, a little too salty. They were well-seasoned. Unfortunately, I had to wait 20mins for my truffle fries. The fries themselves were mostly still raw. However, our waitress did get the fries charge taken off. The service was good for how busy it was.

    This place is by far my favorite bar! It serves non-alcoholic drinks which are perfect for me. I get to enjoy some drinks alongside my friends. I can see they have tons of options and the presentation looks good. The service was friendly and the ambiance is so relaxing. Great to have a pleasant conversation with some amazing company. The seats are comfortable and well put on. The mural is artistic. I can say I will be going again and again. Provecho!

    We went to The Garrison on their opening night around 7:30pm. It wasn't too busy yet and there were still a couple spots to sit and grab a drink, but it definitely got busier within the hour. The cocktail lounge is beautiful! Big comfy velvet chairs, gorgeous chandeliers, and a beautiful floral art piece on one of the walls. I ordered the Lychee Martini and the Butterfly Magic G&T. Both drinks were delicious and I'd definitely get the Butterly Magic G&T again. My partner got The Garrison, which is a smoked drink that they prepare and then open in front of you. It was just as delicious! For opening night, they provided complimentary snacks which I found to be a really thoughtful and yummy gesture. We did have to wait a long time for our drinks, but I think they absolutely have the potential to be a five star place once they get everything working smoothly.

    The Garrison is such a delightful cocktail lounge. We went for the Grand Opening and it was a very chill vibe, with soothing live music, comfortable velvet seating and beautiful chandeliers. The drinks are not only delicious but also stunning, I had a drink that was purple with sparkles in it. They serve a drink called 'The Garrison' that comes in a smoked chest box. The Garrison is in a prime location downtown. We will definitely be going back!

    This was my first time at the The Garrison and I was not disappointed. It was afronight so the music was amazing, playing artists such as Tems and Davido. At the bar I ordered an old fashioned which the bartender made to perfection. The staff was friendly and welcoming from all of the bartenders to the dj. The design is chic and the ambience is relaxing. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for a good night!

If it's not too busy, the staff are usually very personal / happy to talk to you. - Great vibes - my favorite is usually the main tiki room and its booths, but the outside patio can be really nice as well - Food - portion sizes vary a good bit, so I recommend telling the how hungry you are and/or asking about portions. If you have the right expectations, I think you'll enjoy the food. I've liked all the food I've had, and so did my companions. Because of the area, this spot draws a cross-section of people...Chihuahua game attendees, out of town visitors, businesspeople, tiki bar aficionados and some locals.

The Hawaiian hot dog was decent but I came for the drinks tbh. It's so fresh in there after a chihuahuas game- walking distance !!

    Fresh oysters !!! Shipped every 2 days!! They get shucked right in front of you at the bar seating…read moreand they are so yummy!!! NOT grimey !!! Also had the crudo (salmon, tuna, scallops) with the soft delicious bread. The deviled eggs were good too. Truth be told I came for the oysters tho- a variety of easy and west coast options. You would never think downtown El Paso would have a spot like this but I'm glad they do!! It's a great place to pregame before a chihuahuas game!

    Happiness is a dozen oysters and good company…read more Pearl Divers is a very spacious, bright and welcoming establishment with some of the best oysters, staff and menu options! Cocktails are uniquely crafted, the ambiance pulls you right in and the bar is probably the best place to be! It's very clean as well! They have a good range of an oyster selection with great pairings, something for everyone at the table! I was so happy to see Crystals hot sauce again! I'm a dirty martini girl and of course I'd recommend blue cheese stuffed olives! The fries were crispy, hot and served as a nice sized portion as a shareable. Customer service is 10/10, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable on the menu items and engagement with guests. I've had the opportunity to visit twice and this will be one of my frequent regular visits while here in El Paso! As they say, the world is your oyster--and this place serves some of the best pearls of the sea I've had."
