From the outside, this hidden treasure just off Lincoln looks as if it could pass for a low rent strip joint, but once inside the gold & red velvet wallpaper will soothe your apprehensions and the prices won’t break your wallet. The Garter even offers up grub with a menu ranging from Frito Lay products to a couple different kinds of beef jerky. Never too crowded on weeknights, it makes for a great place to have a drink and chat. Not to worry if there’s no one tending bar, chances are they’re just playing stick with the regulars at one of the pool tables on the side.

Jukebox: internet jukebox, so the sky’s the limit
Crowd: a melting pot of drinkers
Bartenders: friendly enough
on tap: full liquor, and nuthin’ but bottles & cans for beer
Your wallet: go ahead and buy a round

It costs extra, but I was even able to download Fishbone on the jukebox... brilliant...
