The places name says it all. Garage looking bar with plenty of satinless steel and car memorabilia. Kind of a dive with a bar on the right side of the building and a bunch of tables on the left. A wall of big mugs for members is a nice touch. The walls are black but there is plenty of lights. Loads of TVs and beer signs too.

There are a bunch of good beers here - about 15 taps and plenty of bottles. Local Florida beers like Funky Buddha, Cigar City, and Wynwood, with some regionals like Sweetwater and Abita. Ommegang, Brooklyn, Rogue, and Lost Coast were on draft.

Service was prompt during my three stops here. The beers were fresh and the place was filled with a bunch of locals. Ate only once, but the burger I had was very good with some fantastic tator tots. Prices seemed reasonable in this expensive city.

One block away from a stop on the Metromover. Cool place with a nice selection of beers to satisfy any BA.

Miami beer scene is this weak. The filling station has cigar city ipa and several other worthy brews including bells, Brooklyn, oskar blues, some mediocre Florida beers and some lame macros. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was poor. It is dumpy and the bar stools are uncomfortable. It also it smells a bit. The food was pretty darn good. There are a number of good looking burgers but I had a blackened mahi mahi sandwich that was very good. Bottom line is if I was in miami in this part of town I would return
