There's not many places where you can shoot pool with a cigarette hanging from your lips, but Red Garter's tables provide that luxury. With an ample draft selection on tap, table-side service to bring you your favorite bar fare and house cues that seem immune to almost certain abuse, Red Garter offers a paradoxically luxurious dive bar experience. For those nights when you get the inexplicable urge to pretend you're in a scene of a biker bar movie (with admittedly fewer brawls) Red Garter is your place.
