The Garage Bar & Sandwiches earns its name honestly — a Northwest Side neighborhood hangout built around a 120-plus-bottle-and-tap beer list and a sandwich menu that takes itself just seriously enough, headlined by a pot roast sandwich called the Carmela and an appetizer sized (and named) like a dare: the Ginormous Pretzel.

The Ginormous Pretzel and the Carmela pot roast sandwich, eaten on a 50-seat rooftop deck with shuffleboard, darts, and a 70-inch TV.

Pork belly tacos show up in enough reviews to count as a real recommendation, not a fluke order. The space backs up the pretense-free attitude with a rooftop deck that seats around 50 under a 70-inch TV, plus shuffleboard and darts for anyone who'd rather compete than just drink. It's the kind of bar that's stayed under the radar long enough that recent, dated coverage is thin — no confirmed website or social media account turned up in research, and a once-cited daily drink-special lineup ($2 craft drafts, $3.50 Sailor Jerry) comes from a now-defunct 2017-era local news source, old enough that it's offered here as historical color rather than a current deal — call ahead before counting on it.

What is more solidly confirmed: it's never shown up flagged as closed on an actively-maintained neighborhood bar guide, which for a place this under-documented is about as much reassurance as research turns up. Go for the pretzel, stay for the rooftop.
