This cozy spot in Bucktown is unpretentious and cleanly designed, with a retractable garage door in front and exposed brick walls inside featuring black-and-white photos of garage scenes. DJs spin records from an elevated booth in the corner Thursday through Saturday nights. Although there's music other nights of the week, it's mostly a place to hang out rather than catch the latest hip band.
