The Garrison Taproom

"Easily one of the best bars in Miami. A great go-to spot for watching sports, playing pool or just hanging out with friends. Tons of beer and liquor options as well as good food. They have a great trivia night on Wednesday that is arguably the most competitive in south Florida and features a bunch of fun questions. Then on Fridays they have an awesome karaoke night that never disappoints. The staff are wonderful and the owners are lovely people. A+++++"

"We came without planning and we asked the owner and bartender if we could watch the Inter Miami fútbol game while there was an event happening. Roly the bartender was super nice he treated it us like we were part of the event. We are totally coming back to this bar. FYI: there’s a big screen and full of screens by the bar and two pool tables!"

"Came here for the first on a Saturday. The location is super perfect. It's in a family friendly area with a fountain in the front, there are retail stores a pizza place and cold stone next door plus other restaurants and the AMC theater in the back. Across the street you have the alehouse and some other restaurants. The bar is great has some good options and they have plenty of tables to sit at. They had a dj playing music all night that had a Spanish theme. They only have two pool tables to use which is 12 bucks an hour. Which is fantastic! I really loved the vibe here and the customer service was also really good! Definitely coming back. Perfect for a date night. Watch a movie grab a pizza and ice cream and then finish the night with some drinks and a pool table."

"Walked around the neighborhood after the Champion's League Finals and found the Garrison Taproom. It was fairly uncrowded but started to fill up while we were there. There are two pool tables which were occupied for most of the time we were there. When they're free, you can use them by the half hour. The atmosphere was very loungy but the music was a little louder than you would expect in an environment like that. They had very good beers on tap, and even have some interesting liquors that tasted like different alcohol as well. I believe they serve wines also, but I hadn't really looked. There was no food available for purchase, but they would allow you to bring in food from other places. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive. If I were in the area again, I'd probably pass by to play some pool as it seems to be a cool hang out spot. Check them out if you're in Miami Lakes and want a more relaxed vibe"
