Garage on Beck

You’ve got to see it to believe it. If you want to experience something “unique and local”, don’t leave Salt Lake City without making a trip to the Garage on Beck. The Garage on Beck is strange dichotomy. It’s an old historic garage that sits in front of the towering refinery district about five minutes North of downtown Salt Lake City. It’s an unusual location, to say the least. But don’t be fooled by the surroundings. Once inside, you’ll discover a comfortable décor of reclaimed barn wood and a hodge-podge of artifacts that harkens back to another era. Journey further and you’ll find what appears to be a secret garden. It’s truly one of the most beautiful patio settings imaginable. The Garage is down-n-dirty roadhouse that features some of the best live music in the city. It’s a small stage venue that’s a catalyst for local musicians and favorite stop for traveling acts that love the diverse crowd and magical setting. Anything goes music wise, but the calendar is heavily weighted in Roots-Rock, Alt-Country, Blue-Grass, Rock-a-Billy and Jazz. But that’s only half of the story. The Grille at The Garage serves up award winning comfort food that won’t break the bank. Ted Scheffler, food critic for City Weekly says “You must try the fried chicken. It is simply outrageous, some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten, anywhere.” And Salt Lake City Magazine voted the Garage “Best Discovery” in its annual Dining Awards issue.
