About Us

THE NAME

The building was once a Garage, called Carriage Works, built in 1890. Constructed to house the wholesale business of Todd and Hawley, Carriage Works operated here until 1902. Their stock was purchased by Lyons Implement Company, which carried a complete line of Studebaker vehicles, including buggies and wagons. Along with Lyons, San Diego Gas & Electric, San Diego Farm & Dairy Supply, and many more have occupied and added to this building’s rich history.

Without a GARAGE…There would be no MUSIC…

Although Carriage works never housed any bands that we know of, GARAGE is a tribute to local San Diego bands that have made it big. Without a Garage we may not have the great music of bands like Iron Butterfly, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Stone Temple Pilots, P.O.D, Eddie Vedder, Switchfoot, Slightly Stoopid, Blink 182, Tom Waits and many more.

THE FOOD

Garage’s menu is focused on great American food. Craft Burgers, Flatbreads, Sandwiches and Salads.

THE DRINKS
